Buying a property & mutual exchange

Buying a property, accommodation outside the Vale and home swap schemes

Buying a property

To buy a property on the open market in the Vale you need to have either a considerable income or savings. Specialist advice on purchasing your own home is available through mortgage advisors and estate agents who advertise in Yellow Pages, on the internet and in local property papers.

Mutual exchange

If you are already a social housing tenant and you want to move within the Vale, or even outside the Vale, the Homeswapper Scheme allows you to swap your home with another social housing tenant. It is a self-help scheme, where you advertise your own property. To join the scheme, log on to www.homeswapper.co.uk This link will take you to an external website... or contact your landlord.
