If I was looking for someone who would buy my house and rent it back to me I would begin my search online. One of the first things I would look for in a company is that they are regulated by the FSA. This would give some peace of mind towards getting the best deal for my circumstances.

When you sell and rent back your house you are also given the option of being able to buy back in the future, if you wanted to get back on the property ladder. Of course, one of the biggest pluses to selling home this way is that you do not have to leave your home and if you are faced with repossession by your lender this could be a lifeline.

You could apply on the internet and get a verbal quote, this would give you an idea of how much you may be able to sell your home for. At this time, you would also be told how much rent you would have to pay to stay on in the property and how much you would have to pay in the future, if you wanted to buy back your home.

Usually the quote you are given would be lower than the full value of your home. However, you would weigh up the fact that you would not have to pay out any fees to be able to sell your home such as you would if selling with an estate agent. You may be able to sell in just a few weeks and could stop the lender from repossessing your home.
