No there doesnt seem to be anything for owner occupies, I have looked before.
Gumtree has a section, but the number of ads depends on the city.
Also I find it can be confusing as to who wants what? Unless Its very clear in the subject line, ie, 3 bed place in x for 2 bed place in y.0 -
It'll work quite well so long as you both have a bit of an equity cushion in your houses. Otherwise I can see the banks being a bit suspicious as (despite the extra stamp duty cost) both parties may have an incentive to overvalue their houses to procure a good LTV ratio.
*N.B. potential swappers - you both have to pay stamp at market value on the houses*0 -
a colleague of mine was telling me that they swapped their house over 10 years ago so the idea has been around for some time. I know that the market is huge in america (and they're a year a head of us most of the time)... we are looking to move where we live but with the way the market is, a swap may be a better option. I'll have a look at <...> and see if they have any more details...
Stop spamming!!!! You keep posting the same website - you had your posts from yesterday removed. Not enough???? Do you own the website or do you get money for every click? Can we have some of it as well, please?Spring into Spring 2015 - 0.7/12lb0
