Sale and Rent Back

The sell and rent back scheme is helpful to those who find that they need to sell their home and yet who do not wish to leave. Selling their property this way would allow them to stay on as tenants, paying rent as opposed to a mortgage. This allows them flexibility and an extra option if they are cornered by debt, divorce or repossession. It is also a great way of releasing equity while keeping the security of the family home. Some people use the scheme when relocating abroad to make sure of a sale (instead of months at the hands of the open market) yet get to stay in their homes until they actually pack up and move.

In addition to sale and rent back, a buy back agreement can also be made. This allows people the option of buying back their property in the future at a discounted price. This is especially popular when financial difficulty is only a phase that needs to be passed through.
