Mutual Exchange Application Form
Important information to read before completing the application form
A decision to be granted permission to move or not has to be completed within 42 days of receipt of your application. This does not include the actual exchange of properties taking place.
The receipt date for a group of tenants wishing to exchange will not start until we have received an application from all parties involved.
All tenants taking part in the exchange must each complete an application, this includes non Nottingham City Council tenants - who must let their landlord know that they'd like to move through a mutual exchange - and get their permission.
Missing applications
It is the responsibility of all tenants involved in the mutual exchange to make sure that all applications are submitted in a timely manner. We will not contact you or take responsibility for chasing missing applications in a proposed exchange.
If all applications are not received in good time, we will assume the mutual exchange is no longer happening and we'll make no further contact with you.

- Your application will also be made conditional if there are repairs or work required to your home and garden which are your responsibility – this includes any items that have been damaged, or any alterations that you have carried out. Conditional approval means you will have to carry out this work before the exchange is approved

- The internal decoration of the property
- Any repairs resulting from alterations, neglect or damage by the previous tenant
- Repairs to any non-standard fixtures and fittings installed by the previous tenant such as showers, kitchen units
