Attracting a Home Swapper to your home

Things to think about

Is your property appealing to a home swapper? Would someone be put off by your home before they have even walked through your front door? Once they are in are they tripping over clutter or dodging your pets

Top tips for making your home attractive to home swappers

Safety

When showing your property to a potential home swapper, please ensure your safety, here are some things to think about:

Do not give out unnecessary personal details.
Try to make sure someone is with you during the viewing. Check whether there will be anyone with the person who is viewing your property, and if so, who it is.
Let a friend or neighbour know that a home swapper is coming to see your home. Give that person the name, address and telephone number of the person viewing, and time of viewing.
Let the viewer know that your friend or neighbour will be dropping by in 20 to 30 minutes, and arrange with someone to do so. Let the friend or neighbour know that if you phone during the viewing, they should come immediately.
If you are uneasy, phone the friend or neighbour you have arranged to pop in so that they come immediately.
