#1. The people that run these "sell your house and rent back" companies are generally lying thieves and are best avoided
#2. This time next year house prices in general will be lower than they are now
#3. Cheap houses are a good thing not a bad thing0 -
I think there is a benefits board here as well.
EDIT: Yes there is

hi I know someone who did this many years ago and the rent paid was counted as their income even though it was purely for rent ...I would check with the benefits office before you embark on this as it could have serious implications for you. Also have you considered what will happen when she gets a boyfriend etc and wants to move out? If you were dependant on her to help pay the rent you might have to move also.MSE PARENT CLUB MEMBER.ds1 nov 1997ds2 nov 2007:jFirst DDFirst DD born in june:beer:.0
