Nah, that’s really not an accurate or balanced stance on it.
If you were selling your house, which you’d run into the ground, filled with debt that you couldn’t afford to pay and needed a new roof that you weren’t able to provide. Your neighbours utterly hate you and petition regularly for you to feck off.
Yet, due to your own delusional greed, you were asking more than double its market worth subsequently ensuring that you only had 1 proper bidder.
That bidder offers you far more than its market value because he has a sentimental connection with the street you live on.
Another guy offers to lend you money to rent just one of your four bedrooms. He can’t buy the house because he can’t afford it and will also be using debt from his other house to pay for one of your four bedrooms.
You choose the second guy, and tell the neighbours who utterly despise you that he is the new owner and will just be buying the house ‘gradually’…
Two things would be glaringly obvious -
1. You are still the owner of the house, not the guy paying for 1 of your bedrooms (25%).
2. You very likely never wanted to sell and just wanted someone to lend you some money to enable you staying in the house you’ve run into the ground.
