Exchange Holiday Homes

How Exchange Holiday Homes works  

  • It's very simple to register your holiday home online, it's free and there's no obligation on your part. All members are second home owners only. No time share or primary homes
  • There is no need to find a member to exchange directly with. You can select from any dates showing on our lists, or if no dates are showing, request them by sending us the ID Ref No. We will ask that member if he will consider adding suitable dates for you, most members are happy to consider dates if they have the availability.

  • As a member, you can add any spare dates to offer to other members. When you add dates, the potential credits you will earn once a member selects your dates will be shown in your Member's area. You can take up to 2 swaps in advance before you have to earn the credits back.

  • The actual credits you earn by allowing someone to visit your holiday home are valid for up to 3 years.

More Information

You can earn extra credits!  Introduce a new member to us, and the first confirmed exchange booking they receive, you will receive an extra 21 credits.

  • You must have enough credits in your account to cover the required credit of the holiday that you have chosen. You do not need to add dates until you have found somewhere to go, but we do encourage you to do so to increase your dates being selected, after all you can remove them all should you need to.
  • If you have used any of your credits, you must keep enough dates (up to 1 year in advance) available to cover the value of those used credits. However, you can change any added date/s at any time, and replace the with another date/s to cover the credits.
  • You can use your credits immediately, no need to wait until credits have been earned by someone using your added dates. You cannot take more than 2 exchanges before any of your own dates have been selected. You can however go to our Late Availability Offers section, and take advantage of the huge discounts available by purchasing the full discounted credits at any time .
  • If you don't have enough credits to cover the holiday you are interested in and don't wish to add further dates, you can also top up the credits you do have at £39 per 7 credits, max 21 credits.
  • We have an exciting ‘Late Offers’ section, containing all dates within the next 6 weeks at heavily discounted rates. Members still receive the full original credit value for the week but it costs significantly less credits to select the week. Please Note: These discounts do not apply to weeks that have been added specifically for a particular member by request, even if that week falls within the next 6 weeks. If you don't wish to use up any of your own weeks, there is an option to purchase the full credit value of any discounted week's showing in this section. No exchange fee is payable when purchasing full credits.These weeks cost between £156 - £234 max. Full details on our Late Offers page.

Under certain circustances (regular members only), full weeks can be purchased further in advance that are not in the late offers. Please contact us for full information.

  • EHH is for Second Home Owners only. For Primary Home or Timeshare swaps, go to the 'Home to Home swaps' thread in our Free Forum, you can add your details there and ask/give advice.
