If you are looking at home repossession then selling and renting back could be the ideal solution. You could also take this option if you and your partner are divorcing, if you want to free up equity or if you emigrating. There are specialist companies online who would offer you the chance to sell your home and then remain in the property as the tenant. You would also be given the chance of being able to buy back the home for an agreed price when you sold the home.
To look into how much you might be able to sell your home for you need to go to the company’s website and either use the online form they supply or the free phone number and leave a few details. They will need to know how much roughly the property is worth, which area you live in and the type of property. This should be enough for them to provide you with a verbal quote as to how much your home could be worth if you chose to sell it through the rent back scheme.
If both sides are happy to go ahead with the scheme then you can go ahead and the company will send someone to value the home and then give you a written quote. The whole sale could go through in as little as a few weeks and you could have the cash to do whatever you wanted. At the time of giving you the quote they will also come to an agreement for the rent each month and how much you would be able to buy back for if you wanted this option.
There are both pros and cons that need weighing up when taking the scheme. You would be given as a rough guide around 80 to 85 of the full value of the property. You would have to weigh up that there are no fees to payout for solicitors or estate agents and these add up to a fair sum. There would also not be the guarantee that you have of selling with a sell to rent company if you tried selling your home yourself. In fact the home could be on the market for many months or longer if it even sells at all. In some cases you might have to greatly reduce the asking price of the home and so not get the full value anyway. Of course the biggest plus with a sale and rent back solution is that you do not have to give up your home. You can also once again become the owner by choosing to buy back. You should be aware that the company will not usually promise that you are able to rent forever, while they will do their best for you to remain in the property as long as possible sometimes circumstances would mean that unless you are willing to buy back you might have to leave. The company should talk all of this over with you before you make the choice of whether to sell with them or not.
