The property market is well documented, gaining constant daily coverage from the media due to its recent downturn and the interest that it creates in us all. Thanks to this there has been a steady increase in a new technique that people are using to enable them to release the equity in their homes. This is known as Sell and rent back.

The term sell and rent back means that you agree to sell your home to a company and then rent it back off from them. This gives you an excellent chance to free up your equity without having to find a new place to live. Because of these obvious benefits many companies are seeing an increase in people looking to sell their property for cash to aid their financial problems. This is particularly helpful if you are looking to keep your financial worries �under your hat� as some people don�t wish to pass on the stress and strains of debt onto another family member or friend.

During Britain�s property boom, the general public purchased their homes in order to gain obvious ownership and to gain equity. Now due to the downturn in the market these same people are having to sell and rent back their property as they can�t afford to pay off their mortgage repayments.

The only other option in order to get hold of the equity on your home is through selling it. This appears to be seen as a last resort from most people and in the long run I�m sure that we will be seeing many more people remain living in their homes but just renting it off a specialist company.
