Propertyfinder.com asked nearly 1000 people about home swapping and revealed that it is surprisingly popular. Half of respondents knew about home swapping and 18 per cent said it was something they would consider, although less than 3 per cent had actually done it.
The people most likely to do a home swap were between the ages of 31 and 35 with 63.8 per cent of this age group saying they would consider exchanging homes for a holiday.
However, unlike the film, single people emerged as the people least likely to consider a home swap, perhaps opting for more sociable holidays. People with families were the most enthusiastic respondents, citing affordability as the most popular reason for choosing a home swapping holiday.
