Lease Option Sale

Get 100% market value for your home with a Lease Option.

You’ve probably never heard of a lease option but actually they have been a common commercial transaction in the UK for decades.

If you have been looking to sell your home for some time it might be a real alternative to selling via an Estate Agent or at a discount to property cash buyers.

What is a Lease Option?

It is an agreement made between a property seller and potential buyer for a fixed period of time and price – typically the price agreed is 100% of the full market value.

The buyer will become financially liable for any ongoing costs including buildings insurance, mortgage payments & maintenance.

The seller will move out of the property and the buyer will either move in or find a suitable tenant until they complete the purchase.

Benefits of a Lease Option sale

• You can achieve 100% of the market value without paying any estate agent or legal fees.
• The option holder will pay you a fixed monthly amount for the duration
• You will not need to pay any ongoing costs such as mortgage, insurance and maintenance

Is a Lease Option right for me?

Lease Options are not suitable for anyone who:

• Wants to remain in the property
• Needs to release the full equity before moving out
• Is not willing to wait for a sale

Who would buy my house?

There are many potential buyers but they are usually first time buyers who are having difficulty finding a mortgage or investors who want to buy the property over a longer period.

First-Time buyers will move into the property and pay the monthly option fee whilst also saving their deposit to later complete the purchase.

Investors will usually agree 100% of the market value today in the hope that house prices will go up – when they complete the purchase they can then sell on for a profit.

What are my responsibilities selling via a lease option?

You are still legally the owner of the property although you will also have a contract which will outline what responsibilities the option holder will undertake such as mortgage payments, maintenance, etc.
