We are running a new Landlord & Tenant project until April 30th 2026
We're so grateful for the steady stream of interest in our new homes which we have temporarily put on hold - thank you! Right now, our focus is on developing a new Landlord/Tenant product to show our backers the strong demand out there for secondhand homes. Please keep your interest coming in for new homes - we'll circle back to it soon

For Landlords

The five stages to selling
your home

Pilot participation is capped at the first 25 approved applicants - early action is essential.
‍
Landlords, the proposed rental sector legislation coming in March 2026 has been well-flagged. You are looking at an increasingly regulated environment which limits your flexibility and exit options for new tenants...
‍
• New rent controls
• A permanent 2% cap on rent increases for most homes
• Rolling six-year minimum tenancies
• Tighter grounds for tenancy termination - landlords face an increasingly regulated environment that sharply limits flexibility and exit options for new lettings. ‍
Dwellr is now piloting a new practical and innovative way to safeguard your income. We aim to reduce your property management burden and help you maintain control of disposal if these rules are enacted. Landlords obtain greater certainty about their exit with improved income along the way.

The Dwellr pilot is testing the market to see if a flexible, low-hassle, and mutually beneficial exit option can support both landlords and tenants in a rapidly changing market. Tenants taking out a Lease-To-Own contract have the time and a framework to save a deposit and credit record necessary to get a mortgage at the end of 3 years.
‍
The Dwellr pilot, limited to the first 25 successful landlord applicants, has the following benefits:
‍
• Guaranteed Fee Income: For example – if a purchase option is given for a €400,000 property, the landlord receives an upfront or escrowed fee of €8,000 (2% of the property value), paid by tenants seeking a secure path to ownership. Most tenants are likely to pay monthly, accruing €10,000 over a standard three-year option period.
‍
• Upside Participation: In return for taking the property off the market and running with this scheme where the sale completes, both landlord and Dwellr share in any capital appreciation above the starting price, boosting total returns.

• Reduced Asset Management Costs: As the tenants are working to become the ultimate owners they take over repairs and renewals during the scheme meaning less work and lower outlay for landlords.

01

Submit your property

The first step is that either the landlord or the tenant makes an application to Dwellr on a mutually agreed basis. The application is free, with no obligation, and allows us to assess whether your property is suitable for the Dwellr model.

02

Property assessment & eligibility

Dwellr reviews the submission and confirms whether your property meets our criteria. If eligible, we outline the proposed structure, including rental terms and the agreed future sale price.

Once terms are agreed by Dwellr and the landlord, the Dwellr process begins. The future sale price is set upfront, providing clarity and certainty while the tenant progresses towards ownership.

04

Receive ongoing rental income

The landlord continues to receive rental income throughout the lease. This reduces costs, with Dwellr manages the process and ongoing relationship.
