Example 1 – I have control over a property on which I have the right to buy it at any time within the next 8 years. The property is 3 bedrooms end terraced, and tenanted with a regular income from the property. A letting agent manages the property and under the agreement, between the seller and myself, I pay the seller a fee each month on the property. The fee covers the seller’s mortgage and gives them a little something in their pocket. The remaining income from the rent is my profit. The cost of doing this deal was £1 to make the contract legal and the time put into negotiating with the seller. The deal is a win/win for both the seller and myself.
