Mutual Exchange (ME) is a housing service in the UK that enables tenants to swap homes with each other. It is an important tool for tenants to access different homes in different areas, allowing them to move to places that better suit their needs and lifestyle. This service is offered by local councils, housing associations and private landlords. The scope of ME includes a variety of housing options including social housing, sheltered housing, private rented sector and other housing-related services. The purpose of ME is to provide tenants with the ability to choose the best housing option for their personal circumstances, by allowing them to move to different areas and/or types of housing. ME also provides tenants with the freedom to move within their local council area, or to other areas within the UK. Tenants are able to search for properties and swap with other tenants in their area, or in other parts of the country, in a secure and easy-to-use online system.
