There's been three or four similar questions asked recently, and it doesn't appear to have brought forth many success stories.
Use the search option and see if you can find them.0 -

since this summer, only a very small number of companies are registered with FSA to offer a sale and rent back service to folks who want a fast sale and who want to stay in their own homes.
check out the FSA site for SARB companies to make sure whoever offers you a rent-back (if that is what you want) are legally registered0 -
You can check the FSA register here: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/register/firmSearchForm.do
You can check the list of interim-authorised SARB firms here: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/register/interimAuthorised.do
Fylde Lettings are not on either list (or at least I couldn't find them), so it is illegal for them to offer SARB, yet their website does still offer this.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Fast sale is one thing, though some have proved not to be as "fast" as their first impressions will lead you to believe.
Sale and rent back is a different ball game. You want to satisfy yourself that you will be comfortable with your new landlord. In particular how long a tenancy is guaranteed and at what rent.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Just to confirm i am looking just to sell not to rent back or anything.
Just considering it as have a massive service charge thats ever increasing and we want out before waste even more money on it
Its a grade 2 listed building and we own one of the flats inside - becoming a nightmare to try to sell as so quirky and we're throing money away on rising costs
thanks for the advice forthe FSA didnt think of that0
