How easy/difficult would this be??? We're renting in Spain at the mo. We have a house in the UK and we have some friends selling their house in Spain to go back to the UK, they like the look of our UK house and we like their spanish house. They're both of similar value - give or take cos of the exchange rate. Although I have no intention of doing anything illegal, should we decide to do this, is there any way we could all pay less stamp duty, spanish gains tax, etc etc...! The Spanish house is mortgage free and has all the correct paper work, the UK house has a mortgage which we will need to transfer

Any thoughts????
