West London Mutual Exchange
If you're a public sector tenant, you can move home using Mutual Exchange by swapping your home with that of another public sector tenant. You can also register for Mutual Exchange so that your home will be advertised here for other tenants to see.

Other Councils and Housing Associations within the Locata partnership also have sheltered housing for rent. You will need to contact them individually to ask about their eligibility criteria.

Six London boroughs, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow and nine Housing Associations, PCHA, Catalyst Communities HA, Paradigm, A2 Dominion, Notting Hill, Shepherds Bush, Stadium, Thames Valley and Westway Housing Associations have joined forces with Locata to help people find the homes they want.

Locata was designed to give you more choice about where you want to live. In the past the council decided where and when you would be offered a home, now you can choose.

Existing Council and Housing Association tenants who would like to transfer can use Locata to find a new home, as well as Home Seekers - people who are on their council’s housing register or who are homeless.
