How to sell my part buy – part rent home?

Selling your share in your home is a straightforward process. When you sell your share the lease is assigned to the new purchaser. The name on the lease will not change and heylo, remains the landlord of the property, in this way the new resident will be liable to pay rent and other associated costs under the existing lease. Meanwhile, the buyer’s solicitor will arrange for the leaseholders’ name to be updated by the Land Registry. 

A typical part buy – part rent lease offers heylo Housing (as the landlord) the opportunity to nominate a new buyer in the first eight weeks following the sale, this is known as the nominations period. During this period, you should not instruct an estate agent to market your home. Heylo will instruct an estate agent to market your home on your behalf.

Before selling you share, it’s important that you read the relevant section of your lease prior to instructing a legal representative, as this sets out the process that must be followed and any restrictions that apply to selling your home.
