Au Revoir but not Good Bye to Home Swapping

We received the following message this week from 'A', a current Home Base Holidays member who has been living, and exchanging her home, in France:

'Please would you remove our property from the listings. We are moving back to England and the property is now on the market for sale, so will not be available for an exchange.

Sincere thanks - your site has been brilliant and I have appreciated everything you do to make the whole process of exchange a successful and happy one.'

It's always nice to get such positive feedback - thanks 'A'! There are times when members are in the same situation as 'A', sometimes with memberships not due to expire for several months (never more than two years though - the longest period Home Base Holidays listings are kept in circulation). As listings can be updated with information/photos for the new home once members are settled in and ready to consider home exchange offers again, and even expired memberships can be renewed at a substantially reduced rate (up to two years after the expiry date), it isn't necessary to delete such listings completely from the site but rather we can hide them temporarily so that such members won't be contacted during the period they are unavailable for exchanges.
