Hi
I was wondering if it would be possible to sell my property before or after my 4th year of paying into my trust deed. I had to do an extra year due to no equity on my home as I just moved in. My trust deed paying back is over 5 years
I am having problems with junkie neighbours below me and I want to sell my property and move in with my dad to get peace and quiet. I have contacted antisocial behaviour and the police for over two years and it feels like I am going round in circles. I need to get out and hopefully I can after my 4th year of paying off my trust deed if I can sell my home.
Any information on this will be helpful.
Thanks
Welcome to the trust deed forum amccall83. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing these problems with your neighbours.
Do you expect that there will be a profit made from selling the property? If yes, could you estimate how much this might be please?
How much is your monthly payment into your trust deed?
I don't think your trustee will stand in the way of a profitable sale of your property at any stage, but the financial consequences for you may be different depending upon when any sale happens.
Hi and thank you! I have only lived in the property for 4 years with a mortgage and probably make £18000 if I can sell it for the same price or little more. My monthly repayments into my trust deed are around £260.
I assume if I get the go ahead the money I made over the years paying into my mortgage and selling the property would go into my trust deed if its sold within my last year of paying into it?
Hi amccall83,
Thanks for providing this extra information.
The legal minimum term of a trust deed is 4 years, though as in your case an additional term can be agreed between the parties (often in lieu of equity in a property).
It could be the case that, once you have completed the minimum four year term, you could sell the property and pay over only a fixed amount (equivalent to the remaining contributions) and keep the rest of any profit for yourself.
You'll defintely need to contact your trustee directly however in order to get clarity regarding your particular trust deed agreement and what the consequences of a sale after year 4 would be.
Hi
