homeswapper is not bad i guess, but they could do a lot more to improve it's performance. The main problem seems to be people not getting back to you. As in they claim to be 'serious about swapping' then don't log in for nearly 10 weeks. I find this infuriating especially if you're trying to set up a multiswap and no one responds. Which begs the question, why are they on there in the first place? I did actually send a complaint to the administrators about this. All in all ok i guess, but as above, distinctly average.

I found a move a couple of years ago via Homeswapper. It is a brilliant way to find potential matches, it isn't the fault of the site that there are time wasters! What is terrible about the site is the technical IT side. I have rejoined and have tried for 2 days now to complete membership by paying. Keeps saying the site is down. I have tweeted the team asking if there is a problem and my tweets have been removed. Have emailed them and they have an auto reply that says it will take up to 5 days. In this day and age there is NO excuse for a site to be down for over 2 days. If they improved this is would be almost a perfect springboard to exchanging properties.

Only just joined, but already after sifting through 100s of matches ive already found people that say dont want my area, aarrrghhh, wish you would state your preferences, looked on peoples answers and questions page, it seems that people dont bother logging in for months surely if your wanting to move youd log in weekly, im on it every day so far. Going to try to remain hopeful otherwise its private rented for me.

Totally agree, very seldom do I get a reply on there, even a simple 'no thanks' back would be enough. But as you said there's people not even so much as looking at their messages for more than months at a time. Very frustrating and I will not be renewing my membership when it runs out either. Get better replay through adverts on gumtree!

Where else is there though ? All i get from my housing association is, 'go on homeswapper' that seems to be the only option with them. I'm surprised they even sign up to it considering how bad it is.
