homeowners who were thinking of selling and
renting back their homes. This advice on how to
avoid sell and rent back scams and exposing
some of the tricks that unscrupulous buyers were
using against homeowners who sold and rented
back their properties hopefully helped many

schemes (SARB) or purchase properties with the intent to rent them back to
the owner.
This was in response to many complaints received by the Office of Fair
Trading (OFT) and other agencies like Shelter and the Citizens Advice Bureau
(CAB). Although most operators were completely legitimate and looked

There are many reasons why you may decide that selling your home and
renting it back is an option, but it is important to be aware of all the facts
before committing to a sale.
If you decide for any reason that sell and rent back is an option please
make sure that you contact and deal only with companies who are FSA
regulated.

licensed to put sellers in touch with an FSA regulated property company† .
