Does anyone know, can you exchange your home with someone else who also has a mortgage? If so how do you go about it. We wanna move that's all closer to work but wanna cut out the cost of estate agents fees etc

it is becoming more popular as an option, most certainly here in Scotland. Some legal firms, builders do it as a part exchange type sell: it can also be done between the buyer and seller, but always do it via a lawyer

You do not need an estate agent to sell it buy a home it's just trying to find a home that isn't through an estate agents that's all. There is a few classified sites that people advertise there homes for sale on like gumtree. For the price of an estate agents I would use one though as you can get fixed rates or down to around 0.5% rates from a lot of them. Also if you go down this route I would put it with 2 agents and make sure that the rate is just as low as if it was only with 1 of them.

A lot of agents push ones where it is with more than one agent more so they don't lose out on there rate to the competition.
