1. Lease Purchase Agreement

Lease Purchase Forms Package For Real Estate

A Lease Purchase Agreement allows the seller to rent the property to the buyer until closing. A lease purchase agreement is generally used when the potential buyer is serious about purchasing the property but is not immediately ready and/or able to close.

How Long Does The Buyer Have To Close?

The maximum term of the agreement is negotiable (one of the fill-in-the-blanks spaces on the contract), but a common length is 12 to 24 months. The contract does allow the buyer to close sooner.

Is The Purchase Price Today’s Value or The Future Value?

Most buyers and sellers prefer to set the purchase price up front. However, the seller is relying on the buyer to close with cash or a loan before the deadline they both agreed to in the contract. Therefore, if the seller agrees to extend the contract, the lease purchase agreement calls for an increase in the purchase price.

What Are The Advantages For The Buyer?

Buyers love it because it gives them time to save up for a larger down payment, clean up past credit problems or time to sell another home. Buyers can also receive a “forced savings plan”, since a portion of the monthly rental payment is usually credited toward the purchase price. The amount of the monthly rent credit is one of the negotiable terms of the agreement.
