How do you know if a selling your house and renting it back is right for you?
Sell and rent back schemes are becoming increasingly popular as people look for fast, flexible ways to manage their finances. With more people facing repossession now than any time in the last 15-20 years, and with natural life events like divorce and bereavement still causing financial problems, it's no surprise that people are choosing this solution.
When to Sell and Rent Back
So how do you know if you should be considering the sell and rent back option? If you are having financial difficulties, you already have enough to worry about, but in some cases, what to do with your property is one of the biggest obstacles to moving forward with your life. You need to consider all the possible options and decide which one is going to work best for you and your family, no matter what the circumstances:
• Bereavement – a sudden bereavement can leave a spouse or partner with a financial headache as well as the grief of losing a loved one. Many people fail to take out adequate mortgage or life protection, meaning that those left behind can be left with a mortgage debt they can't pay. To have to sell your home and move during a period of extreme emotional stress is incredibly difficult. Sell and rent back allows you to raise the cash to clear your mortgage but stay in the home you know and love.
• Divorce – with one in three couples getting divorced, the division of property is often one of the biggest stumbling blocks when it comes to financial settlement. In divorces that affect children, it's usually best to ensure that the children remain in the family home, yet if one person is insisting on selling so that they can have the cash, it can be difficult to resolve. Using the sell and rent back option means that both parties get their cash split from the sale of the property – and quickly – but that children do not need to be uprooted from their home and their daily routine.
• Stop repossession – if paying your mortgage has become impossible, you're bound to be worried about the threat of repossession. Sell and rent back schemes have become increasingly popular for people in this situation. By selling, you can pay off your mortgage, prevent repossession and stay in your home at a rental price you can afford, giving you peace of mind and avoiding disruption to you and your family.
