New! Student Room-Only Exchanges

Home4home is thrilled to announce a new opportunity that makes student living more affordable and accessible: the ability to exchange student rooms. By becoming a member, your child can live rent-free while studying away from home.

With the current shortage of student accommodations and rising living costs, finding affordable housing for your college-bound child can be challenging. Now, with home4home, you can swap your room with another student moving to your area, helping both families reduce expenses. 

Why do a student room swap?

If your son or daughter is leaving home to attend university and you’re struggling to find suitable accommodation, this innovative solution might be the answer. For just €99, you can exchange a room in your home with another student’s family who lives near your child’s university or college.

This simple exchange could save you approximately €10,000 in rent and significantly reduce the stress of managing student housing. By swapping through home4home, you’ll avoid the monthly rent payments and the hassles of contracts for utilities like Wi-Fi and electricity.

Additionally, your child can enjoy the comfort and security of living in another family’s home during the transition from school to university—a perfect way to ease into independence.

How does the room swap work?

The process is straightforward:

1. Once you join home4home, select “Room Swap” under the property type when listing your property.
2. After your property is accepted, you can search for other available student rooms using the “Property Type” filter.
3. When you find a suitable match, request an exchange to communicate directly with the other homeowner to discuss and agree on the terms that best suit your needs—whether it’s a Monday-to-Friday arrangement, term-time only, or any other specific requirements.
