HOW DOES IT WORK?

 

 

1-On request we will send you a questionnaire/registration form.

We will ask you for information about your property that will be relevant for potential house-swappers.  E.g.:-number of bedrooms available, whether or not you want young children in your home etc. 

We will ask about your garden, pets, your immediate locality, its sports and other amenities, and about your church.

 

 

2- To register with ‘Christian House and Church Swap UK’, you just need to fill in and return the questionnaire.

 

3- On receipt of this, and from the information that you give us, we write a description of your property which is identified by a reference number.

 

4- We then contact your church leader to ask him/her to verify their knowledge of you. (This is for everyone’s peace of mind.)

 

5- We will send you a booklet listing all the properties of people looking to house swap, and regularly update you with new properties as people register.

 

NB:- the property details are always identified by their reference number.

 

 

6-We shall ask you to let us know which of the property descriptions interest you, and we start to contact people on your behalf to ask if they are interested in a swap with you.  

 

 

7- - When a match is secured, we release names and addresses to both parties for you to make contact

with each other to confirm the swap, and finalise plans.

We shall also ask you to send us the exchange fee,  10% of which will be credited to your home church.

 

 

8- Towards the end of each month, if you are not ‘matched’, we will email/send you an update, giving reference numbers of people still looking to house swap as well as descriptions of new people registered.

 

9 – HOSPITALITY SWAP

     Several people have enquired about the possibility of a ‘hospitality swap’, where people offer hospitality for a week-end or longer, and then the hospitality is ‘swapped’ on another occasion. This can be in the UK or abroad.

We’ll ask you about this in the registration forms.

*****HOUSE SWAPPING OUTSIDE THE UK*****

On the questionnaire we ask if you are interested in the possibility of house swapping with Christians in Europe and beyond.

If you are, we can keep you updated with enquirers from abroad. 

See ‘Contact Us’ page where there are often a few descriptions of properties belonging to Christians, outside the UK, who  looking to house swap here,

both for holidays and extended visits.
