Hi all im new here. so i have been trying to homeswap. from my house to another area for nearly 5 years now with no luck at all. i have been waiting for so long now and i just cant keep trying to find someone to swap with its mentally draining.. Does anyone have any advice or experience in the same situation? i was thinking could there be a way where i contact the local council and be put o a waiting list for a home? or bid for a home? im not sure how it works or the right way to go about it? please any answers is helpful. i have 3 daughters aged 10, 5, and my 3 year old has special needs autisim. im really desperate to get back to the area i once lived in, i just dont know how to go about it. as homeswapping hasnt been a help for the last 5 years. TIA

My only advise is dont give up! Could you not look at other areas you don't want int hope someone from the area you want would want there's and do a multi swap?
