Paradigm offers RPS’s sale and rent back proposition

Published on

Paradigm Mortgage Services has embarked upon a a new relationship with Residential Property Solutions Limited (RPS), the sale and rent back firm.

Members of the mortgage partnership proposition are now able to introduce clients to RPS who are facing financial difficulties or possible eviction and have exhausted every other option available to them. The sale and rent back scheme provided by RPS gives homeowners the opportunity to sell their property and continuing living there as tenants.

RPS purchase the property at an agreed discounted price below market value and agree a market rent to enable the client to remain as a tenant. Clients are able to purchase back their property from RPS at a future date, provided they have met all the terms of their rental agreement, and they may be able to share in any increase in market value.

Key features of the sale and rent back scheme include the ability to buy property for cash up to 75% of open market value, provide Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreements for periods from two to five years (Short Assured Tenancy agreement for Scotland), the ability for clients to buy back their property in the future and share in any increase in market value, and no upfront costs – all valuation and legal fees are paid by RPS.

The sale and rent back market is currently subject to an interim regulatory regime, with the FSA introducing full regulation with effect from 30 June 2010.

John Coffield, head of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “We are first to acknowledge that sale and rent back products will not be right for everyone
