Rent to own is a type of financing arrangement that gives the tenant the opportunity to buy the property they are renting, after a certain period.
In our case, our tenant pays an establishment fee, a market rent and gets a right to buy the property at a predetermined price. If the local market price for the home in question has risen more than the predetermined price, our customer keeps the entire difference and uses it as equity when buying out the home in the future. The establishment fee will be used as equity if the purchase right is exercised.
As we are not a property developer, we are free to invest in any property in order to offer shared tenancy agreements. This also includes homes on the secondary market that DeleieBolig has gained access to.
You choose the home, we buy it together.
Following the purchase, we sign a five-year lease and give you a right to buy the property at a agreed price. The lease may be extended. The cost of the right to purchase will be an establishment fee that is paid only once. You can use the establishment fee as equity when buying out the home in the future. You then pay a market rent during the rental period. You can buy us out during or at the end of the rental period. If the market price for the home in question has risen more than the predetermined price, you keep the entire difference and use it as equity when buying out the home in the future.
The lease usually lasts for five years. Our goal is that you take advantage of the right to buy and eventually become a home owner. However, you are not bound to use the right to buy and can choose to end the lease and move out.
In the application, one must typically provide the same information that a bank will ask for when assessing a mortgage application, including identification and your finances such as fixed income, free equity and any loans. We are looking for customers who have stable and orderly finances, who have the ability to pay the rent on time, and who will have the ability to buy the home at the end of the agreement. We will make arrangements for you to succeed in this.
The advantages of co-ownership and rent to own include that tenants can build up equity that can be used when purchasing the property in the future. It can also be a good solution for people who do not have enough money money to buy an entire property right away, but who want to own their own home in the long term.
Since you, as a customer, get a agreed purchase price to deal with, you avoid a possible bidding round that you would otherwise have had to go through. In addition, you can choose to buy the home gradually during the rental period, which means you get the increase in value in the home on the part you own. The more you own as early as possible, the better it will be for you financially. Your monthly rental cost is also adjusted down by your share of ownership.
While co-ownership and rent-to-own can be an attractive way to enter the housing market for some people, there are also some disadvantages that should be considered. When you sign a rent-to-own agreement, you are paying for a right to buy the home after the lease term is up.
If you change your mind, you can lose the money you have paid for the option, which in our case is the establishment fee. Other than that you have no risks.
You become a co-owner from the start and you can buy shares of the property during the agreement period, which means that you get the increase in value in the home on the part you own. The more you own as early as possible, the better it will be for you financially, but it is still not as profitable as being able to buy the entire home from the start.
But, in any case, you get a foot in the market, which you would otherwise not have had the opportunity to do, if you do not have enough equity.
Yes. It is expected that you buy at least 5% of the property and become a co-owner from day one. You only pay rent for the share you don't own yourself and get more money to save more.
No. You only have a right, but not an obligation, to buy the property. If you use the right to buy the home, we have an obligation to sell it to you in accordance with the agreement between us.
