Would it be possible to do a diy home reversionary scheme?
A scenario- parents who are both fit and well want to move to a better house. They could afford to buy it outright, but this would leave very little capital for holidays etc.
Options would generally be
- Buy it and struggle along
- Buy it with the help of a mortgage- either trying to repay it over a relatively short timescale, or more likely interest only for life.
- Enter into some kind of home income programme with a company who do such a thing.
What about a 4th option where family paid (possibly with the help of a loan) a proportion of the house on the understanding that it was their house but that their parents had rent-free use of it for the rest of their lives?
I have googled and found that Rainer asked about this in 2000
