If you're tired of your home and considering a move, selling might seem like the only option. However, house swaps in Spain are becoming more popular, allowing homeowners to exchange properties—often without any money changing hands.
Home exchanges, known as "permuta" in Spanish, involve a mutual agreement between homeowners to trade their properties, whether temporarily or permanently. This arrangement typically requires both parties to sign a contract, ensuring the homes exchanged are of similar value. This can be a great way to find a new home in Spain without the usual costs with many advantages, but it does require careful planning, thorough due diligence, and legal support.
