The recent upsurge in the UK property market means that as much as 10% of the market is driven by property investors looking to purchase second homes as investment properties.

The result is a bouyant market when it comes to selling houses, as demand for property current outstrips demand.

The result is that there are now many companies looking to buy houses and complete a quick property sale, and there are plenty of cash buyers for homes on the property market.

Commonly, people are looking to buy a property and rent it to tenants. However, with a series of interest rate rises making it difficult for some home owners to keep up on their mortgage repayments, a number have decided to sell and rent back property in order to release cash value of their home to property investors, who then rent it back to the original owner.
