Council house exchange

Under One Roof the friendly place for help, advice, support and advertising your property.

Housing association or council house exchange can often be a long and frustrating process. The old method of looking at a council house exchange list is time consuming and difficult to access, Under One Roof is here to help you find the perfect new home, whether it's a council or housing association property.

Under One Roof is different to many council house exchange sites. We encourage our members to visit other council house exchange sites. We offer many more links to essential organisations and we are very happy to allow members to post links to their house pictures, even if they are on a rival council house exchange site.

Search for your ideal house swap or exchange, place an advert, find answers to problems, visit essential links to help you through the mutual exchange process. The Under One Roof team are ready and willing to help should you need further advice, or have any questions. We have two help sections, one dealing with use of the site and the other covering all aspects of house exchanges.
