Common questions
What is a purchase lease option?
An agreement giving you the right, but not the obligation, to buy a property at an agreed price within an agreed period, usually while you control and let it in the meantime.
Are lease options legal in the UK?
Yes, when properly drafted by a solicitor with full disclosure to the owner and their lender's position understood. The risk is in poor paperwork and in misleading sellers.
Can I raise money from private investors?
You can, but financial promotions and collective investment schemes are regulated activities. Get legal advice before approaching investors, this is a genuine FCA perimeter issue.
