Sell and Rent Back Explained

How to Sell and Rent Back

Sell and rent back schemes involve selling your home (usually to a cash buyer) and then renting it back from this buyer.

There are pros and cons with sell and rent back.

Selling and renting back can allow you to repay your mortgage lender and any secured loans. With current high interest rates the cost of renting can be signifcantly cheaper than mortgage costs, especially for those with arrears. However, you should always look at the alternative of selling via an estate agent and renting privately.

Key Points To Remember

  • You will no longer own your home
  • You will be subject to a standard tenancy agreement
  • Contrary to some press reports you WILL have the same rights as renting on the open market
  • You will be able to avoid repossession which leaves a footprint on your credit file and can affect your ability to get a mortgage in the future.

What Are My Options?

You can pay off your arrears at any stage. You can ask the court to make an order to pay off your arrears in monthly instalments. You can allow your lender to repossess, but you will need to find other accomodation and can be pursued for up to 12 years if your lender sells your home for less than you owe.
