NEW SERVICE - HomeSwapper4Sale
HomeSwapper4Sale.co.uk is the latest service from Scout Solutions, responding to growing demand for a service as quick and effective as HomeSwapper...but with homes for sale!
150 families across the UK swap rented homes each week through HomeSwapper.co.uk. The NEW service from the HomeSwapper4Sale site matches people selling homes who want to buy. The HomeSwapper4Sale site is based on the proven and highly successful HomeSwapper service.
The original HomeSwapper was ground-breaking in its use of web-based technology to help social housing tenants find a new home. Since its launch last year it has been used for more than 5 million on-line property searches and has identified 2 million matching homes in its database. Members are notified of any matches via email or a text message to their mobile phone.
HomeSwapper moves 600 families each month; compare that to just 5 sales a month for the average estate agency in summer 2008.
Following the affects of the credit crunch in the US, home swapping, property exchanges and house swaps became very popular, and HomeSwapper4Sale.co.uk aims to be the dominant site within the UK market offering this type of service. Over the last 12-18 months selling by swapping has become a popular way of moving or exchanging your home. These moves are happening through NEW services like HomeSwapper4Sale.co.uk.
Developers and builders have also used the same property exchange or swap concept with their new builds and this too has influenced the house swap market – HomeSwapper4Sale will encompass all property types, values and geography and will also be a beneficial service to individuals, families, couples and estate agents alike.
Families in the UK desperate to move need a way of making this happen and HomeSwapper4Sale.co.uk is here to help.

COMING SOON - PathToProperty
In early 2008 Scout Solutions sought RSL engagement to the idea of a national property portal for the shared ownership and affordable residential property market. Investment capital for the business, PathToProperty, has been committed from large RSLs along with commitments to use the service and co-brand their marketing materials.
The Government has already provided the money to build more shared ownership than ever; to sell these homes in a difficult market translates into increased marketing spend, and underlines the opportunity for PathToProperty which will go live in 2008.
