Mutual exchange

[Sherbertdrops]

Please don’t turn this into a social housing bashing thread, I’m just looking for advice that I can’t seem to get an accurate response for elsewhere.
I live in a tiny 2 bed flat with DC age 9 and 7. Unexpectedly got pregnant with new (and now ex) partner and I’m due in September. I have found a 2 bed house to exchange to, it meets all our needs and it’s opposite my DC school.
The expected move date will be around my due date. If baby comes early will they refuse the house swap due to overcrowding or will baby be disregarded? Will they count baby in the numbers before she is born?
when I have done LHA checks online it says I would be entitled to a 3 bed property when baby is born. I’m not sure if they would refuse the swap on these grounds as baby would share with me until at least a year old. The largest bedroom can be split into 2 bedrooms. I can’t lose this house as it’s perfect for us and the lady who lives there wants my flat due to her disability so I’m nervous about it being turned down and we both lose what we desperately need.
If anyone has been through this or knows the legal side I’d really appreciate hearing from you. Opinions are not necessary. TIA

I’m looking for a little bit of advice. I completed a house exchange 6 weeks ago and as we were at the end of the exchange the tenant informed me she had left her living room tv on the wall and she couldn’t take it down so asked if we would swap TVs with her. I checked it was all working which it was so I was happy to do this to help her out as our TVs were the same size and in the same condition.

6 weeks down the line now she is asking to come and remove the tv from the wall and have it back. I feel quite uncomfortable about this incase there is any damage to my tv or it isn’t working in the condition I left it in. We made a verbal agreement and she’s saying as the tv was a gift she’s in trouble and needs it back.

Do I have the right to tell her no as I’m uncomfortable with this?

Yes of course. This is separate from the mutual swap and a personal agreement between the two of you - anything could have happened to either or both TVs in the intervening weeks. What happens if she damages the TV when she's removing it? She gets to keep yours and you now need to get a new TV?
