Property Swap

Are you looking to move to a smaller property or release some of the capital from your property? Then you need Farrell Heyworth Property Swap.

Farrell Heyworth Property Swap is the creation of simple chains to sell your house quicker. Farrell Heyworth Property Swap allows you to sell your house by using it as part-payment for a new property, with the remainder of the value of the house paid to you as a lump sum.

Farrell Heyworth are experts at property swap because we handle thousands of property sales at any one time. We use our extensive network and joined-up database to match the right people to the right property to create simple self-contained chains.

There are two types of property swap:

• the one-for-one Swap, where just two vendors are interested in each other's property.
• the chain swap, shown in the image below, is more usual. A chain a swap occurs where the vendor at the top of the chain purchases property from the vendor at the bottom of a chain. This allows the vendor at the bottom of the chain to purchase their desired property, and so on, until your property is also sold. This also releases the spare equity in your property.

Try-before-you-buy is an option some of our Property Swap vendors like to take. This occurs when you and the other vendors in the chain agree to live in your property of interest for a weekend, and everyone swaps around at the same time. This allows you to assess if the house is really for you before you make an offer. 

Farrell Heyworth Property Swap and Try-before-you-buy are simple ideas that enable your dream move. For further details, or to join our Property Swap programme, contact your local Farrell Heyworth branch.
