    This would be called a sale and rent back. Although this isn’t something we cover, as far as we know, you have to be regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and the rules are exceptionally strict. It’s a criminal offence to do a sale and rent back without being regulated and following the rules.

    Please see here for example.
