Social housing mutual exchange site recommendations?

Sandwich

I live in a housing association property and I'm moving for work soon, but it's too far to commute so I'd like to organise a swap if possible. I've seen there are plenty of social housing swap sites, but they all seem to charge a fee, so I'd like to know which one is the best before I part with any money.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I am on sites that you don't need to pay for. If you pm me I will try to help you.

When I did a swap the only site worth using was www.homeswapper.co.uk It's free if your housing association has teamed up with them which most have, otherwise you pay £12 for 3 months. The other sites I found were simply forums with people asking but homeswapper has a searchable database.

I was successful with a swap but found it quite hard work with a lot of emailing backwards and forwards, looking on google maps and houses and streets, and actually walking around areas seeing what they were like. Good luck.
