Sell and Rent Back

Sell your house to Keephold and rent it back so you never have to leave your home. We have already helped hundreds of people to remain in the home they love.

This is a more popular option among many of our customers as interest rates are rising and mortgage repayments are becoming too expensive.

No need to move

Few things are more stressful than facing the possibility of losing your home. The financial and emotional effects can be overwhelming. We can help take away your financial burdens and keep you in your property for years to come.

We can arrange the deal within days, buy your property and put a solution in place that lets you rent back your home for as long or short a timescale as you require. This can help ease your financial situation and save the turmoil of moving home.

If you’ve grown attached to your local community, circle of friends or local schools, a Keephold sell and rent back deal can offer you stability and comfort.

Rent Options

We agree a rent that suits you. This can be market rate or less depending on your circumstances. Sometimes we can agree a deal that includes you living in your home rent-free. We tailor every deal to suit each unique customer. For example; we can include a buy-back option so you can buy your property back from us when your situation improves.

You can benefit from our fast, confidential service that gets you out of a sticky situation simply and easily. Discretion is assured, so you’ll see no ‘for sale’ boards outside your property.

As a landlord, Keephold offer you peace of mind and security, because keeping hold of each property is our main aim. For as long as you want to live in your property, we pay for the maintenance, gas certificates, and all our obligations of your assured shorthold tenancy.

We pay the fees.

We pay for an independent valuation from a RICS chartered surveyor, as well as paying your legal fees.

Remember, you’re under no obligation. We want to create an agreement that is beneficial for you. We are here to help.

“Keephold structured the deal to let me pay off my debt now and continue to live in my home for a low rent for the next 10 years. It’s such a weight off the shoulders not to be worrying about money matters anymore. I’m very grateful and would especially like to thank Mark for his efforts throughout the process”

 “The person who came out to meet us was excellent. He talked us through exactly what they could do and what time they could do it by. We took the decision to go with it and in hindsight, we haven’t looked back since”
