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.
