It's a change for our community to quiz Samuel with questions about everything from happiness to HMOs.
This week, you can learn about different types of tenancy agreements, HMOs and leases. The first question is about lease option agreements. Lease option agreement is when you buy a property now, but you pay for it later. So, you fix a sale price today and then say in 5 years, you have an option but not an obligation to purchase at that agreed price. If at the end of that 5-year term, the seller decides not to sell it, because it's worth way more. This defeats the whole purpose of the lease option agreement. When sellers try to change their mind, they can't if the contract is strong enough. You need to make sure that the seller is represented by a solicitor – that way, at the end of the term, the seller can't say “I didn't know what I was doing”.
