House Swap

gilbertliddell

Hi,

Is it possible to swap house in Scotland. My parents live in a house that is becoming too big for them and would like to down size however, in the current market they are having problems selling.

What options do they have?

Thanks for any advice.
Gilbert.

You can swap properties in Scotland, of course you will have issues of finding people that want your parents property AND have a property that your parents want.

Where is your parents property for sale?
Can you post a link to the property, then we might be able to give better advice?

the short answer though is if your parents are struggling to sell, maybe they have marketed the property incorrectly to attract potential buyers

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply.

They have seen another property that they like that is also up for sale, the seller is having trouble selling and that house has been empty for over a year.

Thanks again,
