The 2025 Guide to Flexible Landlord Returns
As a landlord, you’ve probably asked yourself: “Should I sell my property or keep renting it out?” The truth is, the market doesn’t always make this decision easy.
In 2025, rising interest rates, changing tax rules, and market uncertainty mean that selling might feel like cashing out at the wrong time. But holding on to rent can come with risk too — voids, rising maintenance costs, and stricter tenant regulations.
Enter the Rent-to-Buy Model
At MEXI, we offer you a third way: rent out your property now to a tenant who wants to buy it later — with terms you agree up front.
Example:
You own a 2-bed flat in Birmingham. You list it at £1,100 per month. With MEXI, you fix a future purchase price (e.g. £210,000) and sign a 3–5 year rent-to-buy agreement. Over that time, your tenant pays rent and builds credit toward that price. You earn stable rental income now, and in a few years, complete the sale without relisting.
Benefits for You:
- ✅ Immediate monthly income
- ✅ No need to worry about resale timing
- ✅ Avoid selling under pressure
- ✅ Retain flexibility: you set the terms
This is ideal for landlords who are:
- Thinking about exiting in 2–5 years
- Tired of managing short-term tenancies
- Wanting to keep control over price and timing
With MEXI, you don’t need to pick between income and exit — you get both.
