Wouldnt it be nice if you could move into your dream home without having to lay down a large sum of cash? Well when you rent to buy this is exactly what you are able to do. All you need is a little starting money and then agree to pay weekly rent for a certain period and at the end of that period buy the property.
The beauty of renting to buy is that from day one you own 100% of the property. Make sure of this when considering entering into a rent to buy deal as not all companies offer 100% ownership.

While you are in the property paying rent you are able to make any changes to the property to your liking. For instance you could choose to install a patio or a hot tub into the garden. If this boosts up the equity in the property, this equity is yours if you go ahead and purchase once the rental period is up. However if you were to change your mind, say you find you dont get on with the neighbours and dislike the area, then you are free to walk out of the door and not have anything else to pay.
