Why Has the Financial Services Authority (FSA) Regulated the Sale and Rent Back Sector?
Sell and rent back has been in existence for many years. In the past, there have been a number of cases where companies or individuals have entered into a sale and rent back agreements, promising the owner the opportunity to remain in their property for as long as they wish.

In addition to this, there have also been cases where mortgage companies have repossessed the homes of these individuals as the landlords have been unable or unwilling to make mortgage payments on the homes in question.
