Forced Sale vs Landlord Exit

Why downsizers are choosing to protect their equity instead of accepting a loss

Selling to Downsize

  • Accept a lower price to sell quickly
  • Estate agent fees reduce your downsizing budget
  • Chain collapses delay your move for months
  • Capital gains tax if it's a rental property
  • Stress of selling and buying simultaneously
  • Risk of being stuck between two mortgages

Landlord Exit

  • Full equity protected — no selling at a loss
  • Zero fees — more money for your new home
  • No chain — we deal directly with you
  • Tax-efficient structure available
  • Move at your own pace without pressure
  • We take over mortgage payments on your current property

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Edinburgh landlords dealing with downsizing

How does Landlord Exit help with downsizing in Edinburgh?+

We take over your current property through a lease option agreement. This means we handle your mortgage payments, property management, and all costs across the EH postcode area (EH1, EH2, EH3, EH4, EH6, EH9, EH11, EH15). You're free to move to a smaller property without the stress of selling first. We cover areas including Leith, Morningside, Marchmont.

Do I have to sell my house before I can downsize?+

No. That's the whole point. With our lease option agreement, we take over your current property so you can move without waiting for a sale. No chains, no estate agents, no delays. You move when you're ready.

Will I lose equity by not selling on the open market?+

No. Unlike cash buyers who offer 60-80% of market value, our lease option agreements protect your full equity. We agree a fair purchase price for the future and take over all costs in the meantime. Your equity is preserved.

We respond within 24 hours to homeowners in Edinburgh and across Scotland. Our lease option agreement can be in place within 7-13 days, freeing you to move to your new home.
