Rent2Own Case Study

Please Note there are several different ways Homes Rent 2 Own Wales structure our agreements, we work closely with each Tenant Buyer to accommodate their specific circumstances.

Lets look at an example of how Rent 2 Own works. In this Rent 2 Own Case our Tenant Buyer chose to pay a higher monthly premium rent, leaving no money needed for the Mortgage Deposit when they choose to purchase the property in 3 years.

We have used 90% mortgages and no property appreciation to ensure our examples are reasonably conservative.

Purchase Price

£100 000

Term

3 years (36 Months)

Getting Started Money/Deposit

£3 160 (Typically between 3-10%)

Rent Per Month

£400 (To us as landlords to cover our costs)

Premium Rent Per Month

£190 (Credit towards deposit for purchase)

TOTAL CREDIT after 36 months

£ 10K (Premium rents + Deposit – Purchase Price)

Mortgage at Closing

£90 (90% of Purchase Price)

Cash Required for Closing

£0

The full purchase deposit amount of 10% is covered from the initial getting started money/deposit paid and the 36 months premium rent payments.
At closing your solicitor will get 90% of the purchase price from your lender. In a traditional home-buying scenario, your solicitor would have expected the other 10% to come from a cheque from you. In this case he/she gets notification from the seller’s solicitor of a £10 000 credit towards your home.

√ No mortgage is required until you choose to buy the property

√ Any property value increases are yours to keep

√  The higher your premium rent payments the bigger your deposit

√  Any improvements you make to the property you get the benefit

Please Note: The initial getting started money/deposit and the monthly premium rents are non refundable if you do not choose to purchase the property.
