New house swap site a big hit

NEWLY LAUNCHED website myswap

NEWLY LAUNCHED website myswap.ie, which invites property owners who can’t sell to swap their homes with one another instead, has had over 6,000 hits since it went live last month. So much so that its server crashed on Friday as hundreds of people were registering their properties. With the recession tightening its grip, would-be sellers are ready to explore new ideas, such as this site which matches the properties people want with the properties that they have. Myswap.ie enables both parties to transact directly with one another, thus avoiding the need to find a cash buyer before moving to the next property.
