Is anyone interested in a house swap?
 

Hi, we live in a nice suburb of Perth on the coastal strip, within easy reach of the city. We wondered whether anyone would be interested in doing a house swap when doing a reccie? Just putting the feelers out at the mo, but wanted to see if there was any interest shown.

What a good idea G. Saves a lot of money all round for folk.:thumbsup:

Well Tracey, I've been toying with the idea for ages. I also thought about literally swapping houses when and if we ever go home, as house prices are on a par here with alot in the UK. I'll see what comes of it, but I'd definitely be interested. I'm a fussy moo, so I would expect my house to be looked after in the same way I would look after the swap though.

Yes, I'll swap..... wait...I need a house right?

Ok, count me out.

I would but I have no need to go to Perth. Now if you lived in Cairns or overlooking harbour in Sydney I might be interested :lol:

It's a really good idea and something I've thought about when / if we go back to the Uk for a visit. My family don't have the room to put us up, so a house swap would be ideal and cheaper than a hotel.
There are always people coming to Oz for reccie's / holidays and having difficulties finding somewhere to stay. At least then these people could experience what 'real' life is like, to some degree.
Maybe admin could do a forum or a sticky that people could post their requirments.

That is brilliant !

We were talking about this at our leaving do at the weekend with people we know who are emigrating to canada and sydney.

48 bucks a year sound good too.

Cairns anyone ? (admittedly we're not there yet never mind bought a house !)

If you don't mind fitting the new kitchen in for me while we're swapping I'm up for it :p :p

Or in fact, putting on the market, dealing with pain in the arse viewers, etc, etc :thumbsup:

Or perhaps you don't fancy that :unsure: (me too)

Great, I'll be into that in a few years time for sure. From here to Europe though, not within Aussie.

Does anyone know anyone thats ever swapped a house before though ?
