How to find and retain a good tenant is a question every landlord should have and find the answers for.

A product designed with you in mind

Dreaming of owning your own home, but not quite ready? With Adjoin you can rent now, with an option to buy during your tenancy. Better still, if you want to, you can take some of the appreciation!  

The Adjoin Tenancy

A new way to achieve your property goals.


We are a rent-to-buy platform, born of frustrated tenants. We had been racking our brains wondering how to get onto the property ladder. We were saving, but prices kept going up. We love where we live, but we’d love to own the home we live in. 

We decided to find a solution, and came up with Adjoin! With an Adjoin tenancy, you get the benefits of living under the protection of a quality landlord, with the option to buy the property you live in.

If you opt in, you can even get a share of any appreciation, stopping prices from running away from you.

Flexibility

  • Move in before you buy
  • Trigger the option when you’re ready!
  • Not buying? No problem.

Increased Security

  • Ready to buy? Just trigger the option
  • No gazumping or closed bids. You are first in line

Return on Rent

  • Saving to buy is a moving target.
  • Property price goes up? So does your discount.

What are the Tenant Schemes?

You always get the option to buy.

You can also choose to pay a little more to ensure you’re not being left behind if the market goes up!

What do the numbers say?

Example Assumptions:

Minimum Sales Price:            £500,000 Current Valuation:            £500,000
Rental Amount (PCM):            £2,000Tenancy Length:            2 Years 

As someone looking to buy, that isn’t quite ready, Share In The Upside is a great option for you. You get to live in the property you want to own now, and if the price goes up, so does your discount!

Assuming property prices rise by ~5% a year, the property will be worth £550,000 at the end of your tenancy. Normally, that would mean you need to raise an additional £50,000 compared your goal at the start of the tenancy.

With Adjoin, if you’ve opted for Share In The Upside 20, you receive a staggering 40% of that appreciation as a discount when you buy!

Normal Purchase Price: £550,000

Adjoin Purchase Price: £530,000

Better still, there are no entry fees for an Adjoin tenancy. You simply pay the rental deposit and the first month’s rent, as with any tenancy.

When purchasing a property, you will pay conveyancing fees and disbursement, as with any other property purchase.
