HomeSwapper Reviews 

You are much better than glass bop and house exchange .At least we can look like a tenancy type ,i have a tick the fixed term people .Unfortunately housing system very wrong .some rents cheap some is expensive .some flat extra luxury some. Is like council flat or house .It is not fear at all.Some people living million pound flats and they act like they own that some is not .Someone do something about tenancy type and stop giving very luxury flat to people that s not fear .Multi swap still confusing for me .

Homeswapper UK seems to be a site full of people who don’t actually want to swap & just want to nose around houses whilst wasting everyone’s time..

Even 100% matches, areas, home sizes, rooms etc you message them your interested & low & behold your “in the wrong location” even though your property is slap bang in the middle of their preferred location 🙄

I've tried to swap but the app keeps crashes and sometimes stops.. very few times had any contact as it isn't working.coastal housing put me in this direction .no help to swap home

All good in the hood

Rubbish impossible to use and get anyone to help .
Should be closed down

Absolute rubbish have contact customer support numerous times to get no reply, says my password is wrong so i change it and try login in and says its still wrong, I can’t get into my account now for over a year, people must think i am rude as i cannot read there messages or reply to them, the staff need sacking

online site is Difficult to use and (may come with user fees) but was unable to see that as i just looked as a guest,didn't register or login.
Found the private ads too long; the screen to bright even with my own dimmed down.
i prefer exchangelocata.
org.UK
{it's 100% free!}

been trying repeatedly to register for the last two weeks,won,t let me onto the site,sent numerous emails which are ignored but they have taken £16 registration fee without any problems,i am very disappointed with this service,especially as there was a property which matched ours 98%!!!Lynda

Bunch of time wasters been trying to swap for 13 years
Also the website is annoying because they keep asking to change the password reset the password every two months.
Security reasons but it's ridiculous, why does it need to be changed so often.dumb

Really poor interface. I have been locked out and have repeatedly attempted to change my password. The website refuses to log me in when I do. Emailed support. No response 6 months + and counting.

I've been on this site trying to swap my house for literally years. People write to me saying they're interested and then when I say I am too, they ghost me. I just cannot believe how many times this has happened. I have a nice house and garden and all I want is to move to a different area and I'm even prepared to downgrade considerably, and still no luck! I think that people are more afraid to move since lockdowns and covid. In the past, I swapped my property several times over and it took around 2 months each time to find a successful swap. What is going on? I feel as though I am never going to get a swap :(

It seems I've been here forever, people are too picky.
Either you want to move or you don't. What is the point of stating you want to move within the same postal code.
Don't make me laugh.
Also I think the site needs overhauling as the user interface experience isn't as smooth as it could be.
Last moan, I was approached then went to check out the area of the other swapper.
We were about to arrange viewings and then they stated they had made a mistake.
If I had another choice I'd be gone gone gone.

The experience was great and system very easy to use good luck to all

This site should have an option to leave feedback or rate users. The amount of time wasters I had to deal with. I drove 2 hours to view someone's home, then 2 hours back. When it came to view my property, they alleged a change of circumstances.

This is after the loser kept calling me, acting keenly before I decided to make the journey, I felt like sending my petrol bill to them and bill for my wasted time.

I feel majority are bored house wives with time on their hands or the jobless who have nothing else to do, than waste other people's time. Then you have the lairs, that say a family member died after agreeing multi-swaps. The amount of deaths I had someone tell me in 2 weeks is laughable. People should be honest and not so despicable as to lie.

Then you have people who don't want to move, it's a day out to view other people's homes. They need outing on Facebook, as the only way to stop time wasters.

Been on homeswapper for 6 years, desperately trying to find somewhere suitable with no luck. We have viewed many places and had people view ours many times too. So many time wasters and unreliable people- many flats in states of utter disrepair (one place stinking of smoke and filled with flies!)

The last lady who’s flat we had arranged to view cancelled on us the evening before, even though we’d spent £30 on a train ticket up to see the place.

It’s genuinely mind boggling that there are no contracts or liaison officers for this swap process. Many people in social housing are mentally ill, ex offenders or have intellectual disabilities. A lot of the people we came across seemed unable to even process basic information or communicate properly. I’ve read reviews of people pulling out of swaps with 5 days to go!

It’s a good idea, but terrible in practice. I doubt we will ever swap and the anxiety involved in wondering if someone will cancel, ghost you, or randomly pull out isn’t worth it. Most of the properties are in terrible areas too, or just tiny… or with terrible neighbours.

Granted, this isn’t really Home Swappers fault- it’s the fault of the government and the state of the U.K. in general. But surely the site could introduce contracts and people who can assist with viewings, messaging and arranging things- it would be a lot safer too. You never know who you’re giving your info to on here.

It's never been good, hardly ever matched to the area I want to go to, also they keep sending the same properties saying it a match, and not quite sure why you have to change your password every 6 months

I was lucky enough to to find what I was looking for fairly quickly. It was a three way exchange but all went smoothly with no hic cups.

Lol, this site is a waste of time.Why am I even on it, these swappers adverts must be fake. I cannot believe that there is no one that really wants to swap.

PLEASE 58 PER CENT OF PEOPLE RATE HOMESWAPPER 1 STAR OR BELOW

THIS IS A PURE SCAM, HOMESWAPPER IS DYSFUNCTIONAL! TOTAL WASTE OF TIME!
ONLY INTERESTED ON KEEPING YOUR DETAILS INTO THEIR DATA! I REPEAT THERE IS NOT SWAP WITH HOMESWAPPER IT IS COMPLETELY DISFUNCTIONAL AND THEY DONT CARE TO FIX THE ISSUE!
