Whatever caused your negative equity, we have a solution
Market conditions in Watford may have pushed your property below what you paid. Rather than selling at a loss, we take over payments and wait for values to recover across the WD postcode area.
Bought at the top of the market or with a high LTV mortgage? We take over the payments regardless of the gap between your mortgage and property value. No shortfall from you.
Negative equity means lenders won't let you remortgage to a better rate. We take over your payments at whatever rate you're on — rising interest costs become our problem, not yours.
Life changes — new job, family reasons, divorce — but negative equity traps you in Watford. Our lease option agreement frees you to move on without the financial penalty of selling at a loss.
