Anyone consider a house swap?

Anyone consider a house swap?
Hi,
We have a nice big house with 5 bedrooms, large garage, gardens near good schools etc. Probably a shot in the dark but is anyone prepared to consider a house part exchange/swop? We would consider any areas in Australia but preferably Brisbane of Melbourne. As you may know, the housing market has stalled here in the UK so we have to get creative as the banks are not giving out mortgages. This would make it near impossible for anyone returning here to get on the housing ladder. PM me for more details.

The times when 100% - 105% mortgages in the UK being freely available, is thankfully no longer.
I htink frankly if you need to borrow that much money, it was a sure sign you really werne't fit to get a mortgage in the first place.
In the UK, you are still able to get mortgages, but yes, things have got tougher. In fairness, it will stop alot of the people getting on the property ladder that actually cannot afford it.
Good Luck with your house swap!

Re: Anyone consider a house swap?
I have had a pm from someone who is confused so let me clarify. We are looking to permanently exchange, part Exchange our house in a place called Billinge near Wigan, Lancashire with someone in Australia. All areas considered but preferabley Brisbane or Melbourne. This would enable a quick move for both parties in view of the housing market stalling in both countries and aliveate the need for large price reductions for a quick sale by either vendor. We were looking for a straight swap, the higher value property to recieve the cash balance which ever side that might be. We are negotiable on the price as long as you are. Here is a link to our property sale on Rightmove, being advertised at the moment.

Here is a link to a video that I found on YouTube showing Billinge and the area. This is not my own work but it gives a good feel for the place. Please feel free to pm me with any interest
