Essentially a liferent is the option to rent a property…for life. Rather than renting a property for a fixed term i.e. six months, with a liferent you have the right to occupy the property, for life. Ultimate ownership of the property belongs to another party, but the liferenter retains all other rights.
There are no fees when you deal with Liferents.co.uk. We handle all the costs involved, including solicitor fees if you choose to use one of our panel of legal experts.
A liferent is ideal if you are looking to free up cash tied up in property, without the upheaval of moving out of your home. Having cash reserves in your later years allows you the flexibility to distribute wealth accumulated over a lifetime exactly as you please, or investigate new investment opportunities.
