A. If you have paid for and have ownership of the HIP yes you can still use it. If you have an agreement with the existing agent you must check the contract details. We will be happy to advise you.
Q. How do I swap for a home with a different value?
A. Once the HOME SWAP has been agreed the legal transactions that take place are a buy and a sell. The usual arrangements for financing a property purchase such as a mortgage will still take place.

A. As the property will be marketed the rules are the same as for a regular sale.
