Good luck with the process.

you may just want to research the "sale & lease back" option here because if it was sold for significantly under value the OT has the power to overturn the sale.

Probably worth you having 5 minutes on the phone with an expert.

Hi

how much was owing on the mortgages when you sold it, did you have any money released and are you paying the normal rent or is it a little higher than other houses in your area,
