The free mutual exchange platform for social housing tenants across the UK. List your home, find your match, move faster. No fees, no corporate gatekeepers.
The UK's biggest swap platform is owned by an American software corporation. It was built to sell to housing providers, not to serve tenants. The result? Poor user experience, slow matching, and a system that treats you as a product rather than a person trying to find a home.
Existing services are B2B products. They're designed for landlord dashboards, not for helping you find a three-bed in Birmingham.
Properties are spread across six different websites. You're registering on every one and still missing swaps in your area.
Moving to a new town? You know nothing about local services, tradespeople, or what the area is actually like to live in.
How TownSwap Works
Create a free account. Add your property details and what you're looking for in a swap. Takes five minutes.
Browse listings across the UK or let our matching engine find tenants who want what you have and have what you want.
Connect with your match, arrange viewings, and apply through your landlord. Our local business directory helps you settle into your new town.
For Local Businesses
TownSwap isn't just a housing platform. Every town in the UK gets its own local business directory. Tenants moving to a new area need plumbers, electricians, takeaways, removal companies, dentists. Your business should be the first thing they see.
Council tenants are rooted in their communities. Average swap distance is only 26 miles. These are your neighbours.
A fraction of the cost of Google or Facebook ads. Reach people who are actively looking for local services in your area.
From Folkestone to Falkirk, every town gets its own dedicated business directory. Real coverage, not just London and Manchester.
People moving to a new area actively search for local services. Your listing appears when they need it most.
TownSwap is funded by local businesses, not tenants. Because finding a home shouldn't cost you anything except a bit of your time.
