Your Option To Sell Your Home And Rent It Back

Anyone who has a mortgage to repay over a period of thirty or more years has the possibility of repossession due to mortgage arrears somewhere in the back of their mind. The possibility of being unable to meet this major repayment over such a span of years is a cause for concern. An accident or illness or simply becoming unemployed can happen to anyone at anytime, and with no income, there is nothing to bargain with in order to negotiate a new agreement with the lender once you've fallen behind on mortgage arrears.



There is then a very real chance that you may never be able to catch up, leading to repossession and losing your home.



If you have concerns about arrears in your near future, or if the problem of mortgage arrears is already upon you, don't avoid the problem and live in denial, hoping things will get better by themselves. You need to take charge and there are steps that can be taken if repossession is on the way. The steps you don't want to take are being escorted out through your door by the bailiffs who are evicting you along with your family.



Of course your options are limited, but you do have some. One to think about is contacting a company that specializes in situations like yours, and will pay cash for your home and then rent it back to you. The rent they will charge you will be somewhat less than the mortgage that you have had trouble paying. A rent back option also gives you an opportunity to possibly buy your home back in the future, if there is an improvement in your financial picture. The price you would then pay is set ahead of time when the company buys your property, and does not change with fluctuations in the economy.



The company will collect certain information from you, including where you live, what sort of dwelling your property is, and how much it is worth. They will then get back to you promptly, possibly in 24 hours, with a verbal offer of what they will be willing to pay for it. If you agree and give the go ahead, a valuation of your home will be made, followed up by a written quotation, and the sell and rent process will move forward. Information will be provided by us about how to sell this way and also how to halt any court proceedings which may have begun.



Applying to sell and rent back costs you nothing, and it could keep you living in your home as a tenant instead of losing it and leaving it. Mortgage arrears are generally not your fault, but happen when you become unable to work or due to redundancy. Mortgage arrears can have a destructive effect on your life, but you can bypass them. Selling, renting, and then possibly buying back your property can enable you to work on improving your financial situation so that you can become a homeowner again.
