Shropshire Mutual Exchange Register launch

The launch of the new Shropshire Mutual Exchange Register today (Wednesday 1 July 2015) will enable tenants in a Shropshire HomePoint partner landlord property to exchange their homes across Shropshire. As a new addition to the Shropshire HomePoint one-stop housing solutions service, it will extend the number of options available for tenants looking to move home.

Registration is simple, and access to the service is via a single account for the Shropshire Mutual Exchange Register and the Shropshire Housing Register. This means tenants can login to view and bid (apply) on a wide range of available properties options at the click of a button.

Where tenants are looking to relocate outside of Shropshire, the site offers the option to register their property on National HomeSwap Direct for access to home exchange opportunities across the UK.

For a list of partner landlords, please visit the Shropshire HomePoint website.

Robert Macey, deputy Cabinet member for planning and housing, said:

‘This is great news for Shropshire’s social housing sector. Whether moving to be closer to family, schools, or employment, or just looking for a home that better suits their family’s needs, tenants will have greater choice and flexibility to move into a home that is right for them.”
