Gowealthy’s Prop Swap inks deal with Property Swap Shop, UK’s leading property swapping portal

Alliance capitalizes on investor interest from both countries

Prop Swap, the first online property barter community in the UAE announced a content sharing tie-up with Property Swap Shop of UK. Prop Swap which was created by the region’s leading property brand Gowealthy.com, will extend its international reach through this alliance with Property Swap Shop, considered to be one the most comprehensive house swap services in UK. Coining themselves as ‘the dating site for houses,’ property-swap-shop.com has made property swapping more cost effective and attractive in that country.

Through this association Gowealthy.com and Property Swap Shop will be able to offer greater opportunities to their target clientele many of whom have property interests in the UK as well as in UAE. The industry expertise and online environment of Gowealthy.com and property-swap-shop.com will aim to collectively ensure maximum flexibility and value to potential clients across the continents.

The international property swapping section of property-swap-shop.com would reflect Gowealthy’s Prop Swap properties and vice versa. Gowealthy will also provide additional offline assistance and guidance to clients through their offices in UAE and UK.

“Property swapping has the massive advantage of allowing you to take control. The potential is unlimited, overseas property owners can come home by swapping with empty buy to let properties, who in turn gain a rentable property abroad. Through this significant tie-up with Gowealthy.com, we are happy to take this major step into the Middle East market. This is part of our efforts to enhance the visibility of our services in a dynamic international market such as the UAE. We are confident that a partner of the caliber of Gowealthy.com will provide the right kind of synergy by offering property buyers and investors greater options when they look to swap properties,” said Joe Kreft and Andy Peacher of Property Swap Shop.

 “The creation of this alliance provides both companies with access to knowledge, skills and relationships which will enable us to capitalize on the opportunities that exist within the UAE and UK real estate markets. We believe that this association with Property Swap Shop, will augment the strong track record of both our companies in creating and managing property swap options for our clients both in both countries,” commented Peter Penhall, Chief Executive, Gowealthy.com
