Welcome to Swap-Homes™: Permanent Private House Exchanges

Beat the Credit Crunch & Reduce Stamp Duty Land Tax
Our service is designed for you if:-

We introduce the sellers of homes to each other because there is a strong possibility they could buy each other's homes. (We are simply a match making/dating agency for houses).
Once the difference in value between the houses in a swap is agreed the legal process is the same as normal sales/purchases but often much simpler and quicker. Falling property prices should not be an issue when swapping as the value difference is the critical factor. Most of our swappers have small mortgages or own their homes outright so the credit crunch and the lack of mortgage finance is not a problem for them. Stamp Duty Land Tax can also be reduced in some circumstances. ( For more information see "Price Flexibility" below)

Estate Agents use our service and we encourage this. You can register your home directly on our website if your agent will not. A selection of our UK swappable homes are advertised on Fish4Homes.co.uk - Some of our International swappable homes can be seen on PropertyFinder.com - (Temporarily unavailable) Articles from The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times, BBC and others provide more information and can be seen by selecting "Press Articles" below.
Registration Charge £34.99 including vat: Our only charge is for registration which will continue for as long as you decide you want our service. If you are selling/swapping a property in England or Wales it may require a Home Information Pack which we can arrange if necessary.
Our Second Year: Over 7,000 homes were registered with us in 2007. This was our second year of operation. Having become firmly established it was the first year in which we charged for our service. The properties registered with us ranged in value from £55,000 to £1.8 million. Many of these homes were private sales and only available through our service. 73% of our homes were located in the UK and the remainder abroad particularly in Spain & France. To view them you would have had to register your home with us. 24% of our homeowners were very flexible in the location and type of new home they wished to buy. Others chose only to sell if a swap was involved. Selling their existing home is the priority of many and to achieve this are willing to consider a swap with a wide range of properties located in virtually any area.
Our Guarantee: We cannot guarantee to find you swaps or buyers. We can promise that our unique approach will attract additional potential buyers to view your property and they will consider it more seriously than other similar homes that are not swappable.

Key Benefits of Swapping Homes

How it Works: We are not a property portal like the majority of property websites. You cannot view or search for any of the properties in our database. Once registered you will only be shown homes that are potential swaps and match the criteria you have given us. New properties are continually being added and you will be contacted as soon as new potential swaps are identified. We use a variety of strategies to attract new sellers and their properties. Displaying a selection of typical homes registered with us on several property sales websites is one of our strategies.

Using an Estate Agent?		Not Using an Estate Agent?
Our service is a new additional marketing tool to attract buyers to your home. We encourage all Estate Agents to use it because they can provide invaluable advice and support during the swapping process. If your Estate Agent has not already registered you please use the button below to request that they do so.		Not using the services of an Estate Agent places you at additional risk. If you decide to register directly with us we assume you accept this risk. Our only fee is for registration which guaranteees our service for as long as you require it. Our registration fee is £34.99 including Vat.
