Thanks for the replies. I don't think I'm going to go ahead with this. This post has been edited by epl0822: 03/01/2013, 04:05 PM

It depends, if you don't swap then you'll be paying for your own accomodation which would cost more than a few hundred dollars...

I don't think you can do a fair swap if you are going by days stayed there. You basically want a free holiday for a few days but don't want the other person to really benefit. You said so yourself it would be pointless to go unless it was at least 5 days. Simple don't do the swap or plan it so you stay longer at the other persons house.

Simple don't do the swap or plan it so you stay longer at the other persons house. If they stay 3-4 days at our place they'd be getting $1-2k+ worth of accommodation for free. So I wouldn't say they are having no benefit at all.

It's a difficult one as usually people are swapping their owner occupied homes so "loss of revenue" wouldn't really come into it. Really though, if you have advertised your home on a house swap site, I wouldn't view it as the other party looking to get something for nothing - it is you that is wanting the shorter swap. Is there any scope for you using their property for a longer period? Out of interest which site do you use? I am about tos tart researching a perth-London swap and could do with being directed to a good site! Good luck!

If I was the other party in this I'd probably jut choose someone else to swap with rather than paying extra.

Yeah I would not swap with you if it meant I had to pay extra.

Pay for your own accommodation - doesn't sound like you are cut out for accommodation swap.
