Homeowners Beware of Risky Lease Deals
Category: Business

Description: Adrian Goldberg investigates a new type of property deal that experts warn is highly risky. People struggling to sell their home are being approached by investors who want to take a 'lease option' on their property - the would-be sellers agree a price that the investor can buy the house at, at a future date, and the investor agrees to cover the mortgage payments in the meantime, so the owners can move out and move on. It could be a win-win situation, but experts warn that this is an unregulated area and sellers could end up losing out - and even losing their home.
