Marisawright Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Have you looked into how a swap would work legally? It sounds like a good idea but I'd have thought it could get quite complicated because you're dealing with two different legal systems.

I would have thought the bigger issue is where the hell do they think you can get a three bed house for £115K in the UK to swap their Aussie house for? A three bed in almost everywhere will be pushing £200k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester is only 30 mins away. I guess it depends where the OP wants to move to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, you get used to the crazy situation in your own part of the world I guess - round near me you might get a 3 bed for £400k if you are willing to do some renovation work otherwise no chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
