House exchange
You could be eligible to swap your home with another Cobalt customer or a tenant with another social landlord to find a home that suits your needs.
House Exchange is free service that allows you to view the latest homes, as soon as they’re available to swap.
You can choose the area you want to move to and the type of property you want and search for your new home. You can also list your property on the site.
House Exchange is free for Cobalt tenant’s to use, but you will need to be proactive in finding an exchange partner. There are a number of groups on social media which tenants have set up themselves to find exchange partners which you can also use.
Please note, you should be looking for a ‘right-sized’ home that you will be fully occupying. While we can consider individual circumstances, we will still consider affordability of all requests.
The process
Once you have registered with House Exchange, your details will be approved and you will be sent your login information by email or post. Your property will then appear on our database and you’ll be able to search for potential exchanges online.
When you have found someone to swap your home with, please download and complete this form and post or hand in to Cobalt Housing, 199 Lower House Lane, Liverpool, L11 2SF.
Please note, there may be some circumstances where we do not give permission to exchange. If this happens, the reason will be explained to you.
