As a housing purchase is a decision that must be worth considering, some developers are getting involved in rent-to-buy schemes to sell more easily their housings. But how works such an agreement?

It’s easy to understand: the rent-to-buy schemes simply give you the opportunity to “try” the housing by renting it during a given period of time, with the possibility to buy it if you are convinced! In other words, you can buy the house in which you’re living in on any date from the moment you began to rent it. Generally, this period is inclusive of six months to three years from the date you began to rent the housing. You also have the option to buy it after a period of time that is fixed since the beginning of the rental. But at the end of this period of time, it’s for you to decide, you’re free to say yes or no; indeed, you have not the obligation to buy the housing at the end of the agreed period.
