I Buy Houses

sell and rent back companies are at last under the media spotlight, after a long time. We have seen a flurry of activity in the press focusing on landlords who offer to buy house's and rent them back to the owners.

It has come to light that some rouge operators in this market have been putting profits before being fair and honest. For most people that have sold their property and want to rent it back their most important worry is the security of tenure. Many sell and rent back operators offer only Assured Short hold Tenancies.After the fixed term of the contract is up, the landord can ask the tenants to leave. But there are no other contracts that protect the rights of the landlord.This will leave the tenant vulnerable to eviction even if they wish to stay in the property. This minor point is usually forgotten by the company.

Rent Back schemes do offer an important service to those people who want to release equity, escape financial pressures, or sell quickly to emigrate or move. Rogue operators could just get the tenants out and sell on for a fast profit. Most Sell and rent back companies take a long term view and do not intend to sell. For these operators having a tenant who treat the house like they did when they owned who intends to stay for a long time is ideal. These landlords see their properties as an asset that will go up in value over the long term and as such are happy to commit to tenants who wish to stay.

People who are looking at a sell and rent back scheme should be aware of the pitfalls and talk it through with the person who is buying their home. Homeowners should ask for references from previous clients who have sold their home and rent back.
