What Is Distressed Property?

There are many different situations which can cause a property to be classed as a Distressed Property. The most obvious are those people that are struggling with their mortgage payments. With the recent problems in the mortgage market many people are coming to the end of the fixed rate or tracker and being offered nothing but a higher rate mortgage. People who budgeted to their maximum are then stretched to the point in which they can no longer afford their repayments and will maybe default over one or two months. This will then make it next to impossible for them to be offered a lower rate mortgage and therefore they cannot continue to live in the house with the current arrangements. Their present lender will then start court proceedings which unless they can come to an agreement will eventually result in repossession. This process can take a very long time and it’s at this stage where we come in to help and stop the repossession. Other distressed property sales may be down to divorce or death of the owner in which the relatives need a quick sale.

 

What is Rent Back?

Rent back is where a person or family being repossessed and are given the option to sell and then rent it back. Obviously the property is bought at a discount in order to obtain a quick sale and the option is given to the tenant to purchase the property back in a few years once they have themselves financially secure. Although this is often the last resort for the tenant it means they get to stay in their house, kids can remain at their school and there is no need for up moving away. For the investor it’s a discounted property with a tenant already in place.
