To find an exchange partner you can register with www.homeswapper.co.uk. Once you have found a swap all parties will need to apply to all landlords involved. The process from application to a decision on the exchange can take up to six weeks. The process may take several weeks to complete and it is important that you do not make any arrangements to move until you receive written confirmation from both Cornerstone and the other Landlord that the exchange can proceed. We will not unreasonably refuse an exchange and we will give a decision whether the exchange can proceed within 42 days (6 weeks) of the request being made. All mutual exchanges will be by assignment (this legal agreement enables both parties to exchange properties and tenancy agreements). Both the outgoing and incoming tenant will be required to sign the assignment before it is valid. If Cornerstone refuses an exchange, we will cite the relevant grounds and put this in writing to our tenant.
