Selling and renting back your home is still a new process and has been feasible for the last few years.

So what does it mean exactly? How it works is a landlord sets up an agreement which would permit a {home owner|the owner of a house to sell their property at a reduced price to the investor or company, and then rent it back for less.

So unless you have been in hiding, you would have noticed that the housing market, though still slow, could actually be on the up. Some areas may even not change for a while.

Just a small prediction into the property market. However there are some signs that things are stabilizing. The demand for inner city flats may be slow, but it could prove to be an opportunity to get rid of these to those who are searching for good deals.

One of the issues with this plan, is that houses can be slightly undervalued depending on the quickness of the agreements. For example a valuer may give you a valuation based on tomorrow’s selling price, or the selling price might change depending on the market at the time of equity release rent back.

On the bright side there are also advantages if you choose sale and rent back your home. It may help you to sell quickly if you need to, reduce the risk of re-possession, and avoid countless viewings.

So equity release rent back can be made to suit and individual’s needs , and the contract can be short or long-term rental (with the option of buy-back). The rental rates should be at market rates, while the option of buy-back may be pre-agreed in terms of value.

As if there aren’t enough things to worry about when you want to sell your property , for the past year we have also had to put the credit crunch and its effects into consideration an its effect on quick property sale

The majority of people can only buy a home with a mortgage from a bank or similar. At the moment this has become difficult unless you have a huge deposit or even a flawless credit history. Some reports say that home re-possessions by banks are gradually increasing. This could be avoided if one is able to quickly sell their home. One avenue to quick property sale is through an auction, and maybe even from a list of properties that have been re-possessed. Some buyers are investors, and may offer cash in order to gain a quick sale, and so avoiding eviction. The balance goes to the seller, and so the bank would receive the money for the mortgage as they would have first charge. It helps if your house is in a top condition too. This is one of the tips to help your house sell faster.

There are some things that some companies may offer to you so you would choose them when deciding to sell quickly; no chain or viewings, no valuation fees, the solicitor fees are paid, all debts may be cleared and no HIPS or estate agent fees.
