UK Rent to Buy House Market - The Lowdown

Lease Options Applied to UK Residential Property Purchase

The current, uncertain state of the UK property is making many potential purchasers of residential property contemplate alternative ways of funding their property purchase. One type of transaction that some buyers are considering is a 'rent to buy house' purchase.

Rent to Buy House Purchase A 'rent to buy house purchase' scheme (also known as a 'residential lease purchase' or a 'rent-to-own purchase') is a short term lease on a residential property coupled with an agreement to purchase the property within a specified time limit.

The usual model for this type of rent to own lease purchase is as follows:

A potential purchaser will sign a contract to buy a residential property, within a fixed period of time, usually three years or less - 東京都-武蔵村山市-新築戸建. When the initial contract is signed, the prospective buyer will pay an option fee (normally between one and five percent of the purchase price) which is credited towards the purchase of the property.

The prospective tenant-buyer will then pay the seller a monthly rental and, in some cases, an additional rent premium that is also credited towards the purchase of the property. If the potential buyer decides, for whatever reason, not to proceed with the house purchase, the option fee and any additional rent premium is forfeited to the property owner.
