Testimonials
“At my age do I really need 5 bedrooms, a high maintenance garden and domestic appliances all reaching their life’s end at the same time? No I don’t! So I’ve moved into a spacious apartment, with 2 bedrooms, gardens that are maintained for me, and appliances that are all brand spanking new.”
“I was delighted when the company offered me the chance to use their Home Exchange Service. This proved to be very efficient and I was quickly able to move into my new home without the worry of selling my house, and with no Estate Agency fees either. I would recommend Home Exchange to anyone.”
