Lease Options · Deferred purchase solutions

An alternative route when an immediate sale may not fit.

A lease option can allow a property to be operated now with the possibility of an agreed purchase later. RIG offers this as one possible route for owners whose circumstances or property may call for a considered alternative to a conventional sale.

What a lease option is

In simple terms, it is an agreement to take on the property now with an option — but not an automatic obligation — to purchase it later under agreed terms.

Where it can help

It may be worth discussing where an immediate sale does not fit the owner's position, including some empty, difficult-to-sell or financially pressured properties.

How we would approach it

We would first understand the property and the owner's position. Any future proposal would need clear terms and independent legal advice for everyone involved.

What happens next

Start by telling us about the property and your circumstances. We can then discuss whether this route may be appropriate, without assuming it will suit every situation.

Who this is for

Is this the right fit?

  • Owners with a property that is difficult to sell conventionally
  • Owners of empty or underperforming property
  • Anyone wanting to understand the option before committing to anything

Another route to consider

Reluctantly thinking about moving away from your property?

Changes in compliance requirements can mean higher costs, more responsibilities and more work for property owners. If you’re considering selling or stepping away from a property you’d rather keep, there may be other options worth exploring.

A lease option may be one possible route. Whether it is suitable depends on the property and your circumstances, so the first step is a careful, straightforward conversation.

Why RIG

A careful conversation before any arrangement.

Owner-operators

We would run the property ourselves, not pass it on.

Open conversations

No pressure and no arrangement you do not fully understand.

Clear boundaries

Any future arrangement would require independent legal advice on both sides.

Discussions happen face to face across Dorset & BCP.
