Your Lease Option Solicitor should be able to put together 3 essential documentations to successfully carry out your Lease Option Agreement in the UK, this includes a Management Agreement alongside a Power of Attorney for Property, and the Purchase Option.

Simon summarizes how 2023 will become an incredible time to consider a Lease Option as one of your main Property Investing Strategies. With more sellers now needing solutions, Lease Options could be the perfect creative solution for them.
