A Rental Option Could Solve Your Property Problem
May I ask you two simple questions?
- Would you be open to renting your property to me for a few years?
- If yes—would you consider selling it to me at a later date?
If your answer is “yes” to both, then a Rental Option Agreement could be the ideal solution for you.
Why Consider a Rental Option?
Not every homeowner is in a position to sell right away. You might be in negative equity, where the mortgage exceeds the current value of your property. Selling in this situation could leave you with further debt — making it even harder to move on with your life.
A Rental Option, also known as a Lease Option, offers an alternative. It allows you to rent out your property now with the potential for a future sale, giving you breathing space, financial relief, and the ability to plan your next steps.
This arrangement can help homeowners:
- Avoid repossession or further debt
- Stop the stress of monthly repayments
- Move forward, even if the market isn’t ideal to sell
What’s in It for You?
- Guaranteed Rent – You receive a fixed rental income, even during voids
- No Agent Fees – Save on letting fees and commission
- Hands-Off Approach – We manage the tenants and day-to-day issues
- Future Buyer Secured – You have a plan in place for a future sale
This kind of agreement is ideal for those looking for a reliable, long-term tenant, and an exit strategy when selling isn’t currently viable.
How Is This Different From Rent-to-Rent?
A Rent-to-Rent agreement is where an agent rents your property from you and sublets it to tenants they find. While landlords often receive slightly reduced rent, there are no agency fees, and the agent guarantees the rent — even during void periods.
However, in a standard Rent-to-Rent, you retain responsibility for repairs and must ensure the agent is reputable and trustworthy.
A Rental Option, in contrast, includes the potential to sell at a later stage — providing peace of mind and a long-term solution, not just a short-term fix.
If you’re dealing with a stubborn property issue or simply looking for a way to step away from landlord responsibilities without selling immediately, we’re here to help.
