We had been renting and have gone through 2 properties in 18 months and we needed some stability for our daughter.

Without having enough of a deposit to buy conventionally, we decided to find out what a Lease Option was all about. The agent, Vivien was great and explained the whole process which was simple and an honest way of getting onto the property ladder.

After viewing the property we put in an offer immediately, it was signed by the owners 30 minutes later and we celebrated together over a cup of tea; without the fear of being gazumped. The house is ours, we can renovate, add an extension and convert the garage - making it home.
