Home exchange: Another housing alternative
An alternative to renting is to exchange your home abroad with one in Cyprus for a period.
This way you can experience home living in Cyprus for a relatively small cost and may save yourself the expense of a long-term rental.
Although there’s always an element of risk involved in exchanging your home with another family, most agencies thoroughly vet clients and have a track record of successful swaps. There are home exchange agencies in most countries, although some don’t cover Cyprus. Among those that do are:
- Home Base Holidays, 7 Park Avenue, London N13 5PG, UK (Tel.020-8886 8752, www.homebase-hols.com),
- Home Exchange.com (www.homeexchange.com),
- Homelink International, Linfield House, Gorse Hill Road, Virginia Water, Surrey GU25 4AS, UK (Tel. 01344-842642, www.homelink.org.uk – click on ‘Other Countries’ for properties in Cyprus),
- HomeSwap International (www.singleshomeexchange.com).
The Home Exchange Guide by M. Simon and T. Baker (Poyeen Publishing) gives comprehensive information and advice about home exchange. |
