Have you grown out of your home? Or are you looking to downsize to something more manageable – you can swap your home!
Known as ‘mutual exchange’, social housing tenants can apply to swap homes with each other. This means you can choose a home that better suits your needs.
You can stay with us at Trident or even move to another housing association if you wish. This can help if you are looking to move around the country.
