House Swap - Episode 15

Logo for House Swap - Episode 15

House-swapping is the latest trend to hit the property world. With around ten thousand properties registered with swap websites, it's a brilliant way to avoid the dreaded property chain and make that move onwards. Presenter Kristian Digby meets people who want to swap their home permanently, then shows them three properties to find their perfect match. This time he meets John and Geri Clay, who separated two years ago but are now back together and want to swap John's three-bedroom new-build house in the picturesque village of South Brent near Plymouth for a property they can live in together. James and Kay Winstone live in a privately developed barn conversion just nine miles away, but want to move to South Brent so their daughter can go to the local primary school. After they have swapped homes and lifestyles for a day, it is up to House Swap property negotiator Sunita Shroff to thrash out a deal. After hours of tricky negotiations, will the couples decide to swap homes for good?
