A time-sensitive sale
A discreet, structured way to sell when arrears, separation or a sudden change leaves you short of time.
See your optionsKeep the income. Hand over the complexity.
Letting has become harder to do well. Since May 2026, fixed terms and no-fault possession have gone, and further obligations on registration, tax reporting and energy efficiency are on the way. Each change takes a little more of the return, and a lot more of your time.
Lionsmead takes on that work through a long-term guaranteed rent arrangement. You receive a fixed sum each month, and the running of the tenancy becomes our responsibility.
It suits landlords who would rather have a predictable figure they can plan around than a variable one they have to manage.
- Rent
- A fixed monthly sum, agreed before you commit.
- Tenant risk
- Reduced exposure to arrears and tenancy issues.
- Management
- Day-to-day oversight handled for you.
- Compliance
- Professional oversight of safety checks and lettings obligations.
- Term
- Long-term, with the length agreed at the outset.
Each property is assessed individually. Terms reflect its location, condition and type.
What is changing for landlords
The private rented sector is going through its biggest reform in a generation. Most of these changes add administration, cost or risk to running a tenancy yourself.
Under a guaranteed rent arrangement, we take responsibility for the tenancy, its day-to-day management and its compliance, so much of this becomes our work rather than yours. Your tax position remains your own, so speak to your accountant about the tax changes.

If time is running short, you still have choices
Job loss, illness, separation, a jump in interest rates or arrears that have built up can all put a deadline on your home. It is a difficult position, and a common one.
Acting early usually leaves more options open. Lionsmead offers a private, structured sale on a timetable agreed with you, as a controlled alternative to a forced sale or repossession. Nothing is decided on a first call, and you stay in control of every decision.
This may be right for you if you
- need to sell within a set time
- have tried the usual routes, such as an estate agent
- want to avoid a forced sale or repossession
- would like the matter kept private
Speak to your lender as early as you can, as they may have options. Free, impartial debt advice is available from MoneyHelper. We encourage everyone to take independent legal advice before agreeing to a sale.

What people usually ask first
If your question is not here, call us on 020 7754 3775. We are happy to talk it through.
Is there any cost or obligation?
No. The first conversation and our assessment are free, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.
Will anyone else know I have been in touch?
No. Your enquiry is handled in confidence and your details are never sold or shared for marketing. We only involve other parties, such as solicitors, if you decide to proceed and agree to it.
What if you cannot help?
We will tell you plainly, and where we can we will suggest who might be better placed to help.
Which properties do you consider?
We consider flats, houses, HMOs and portfolios. Every property is assessed individually on its location, condition and type.
How quickly can a sale complete?
It depends on the property and your circumstances. We agree a timetable with you at the start and work to it.
Do you offer sale and rent back?
No. Lionsmead does not offer sale and rent back arrangements.
