What are the benefits of swapping my property?
One benefit is the opportunity to avoid estate agents fees up to 3 per cent on the price of any property sold. You may still want an estate agent to help you with negotiations over the price of your property, the fixtures and fittings and any problems and to arrange the home information pack (HIP). Since there is no chain, house swapping allows you to make the move quickly, with far less risk of a sale falling through. With house swapping, you are guaranteed to be entering into a chain-free purchase.
