My partner and I are seriously considering approaching our landlord about possible continuing to rent our flat with the possibility of buying it. We live in a nice flat on the seafront in Brighton and we have a very flexible landlord.

We have read a few sites, and seen some positive and negative feeds on ''rent to buy'' schemes.

Can anyone shed some more light on this arrangement ONLY if you have constructive opinions and/or advice.

Would really prefer to hear from anyone who is currently or have been involved in a Rent to Buy arrangement.

Thank you.
