Switch between Landlord and Sole trader

When to switch

Switch from Landlord to Sole trader if you start freelancing or contracting alongside letting property. Switch from Sole trader to Landlord if you stop trading and only let property.

How

Go to Settings → Billing and choose Switch to Sole trader or Switch to Landlord. The confirmation page shows exactly what you gain and what you lose before you confirm anything.

Timing

• During your free trial: switching is instant and free; your trial carries on as before.
• Upgrading (Landlord → Sole trader): takes effect today. You pay the difference for the rest of the current billing period, then the new price from your next renewal.
• Downgrading (Sole trader → Landlord): takes effect at the end of the period you've already paid for. Until then everything stays as it is. Changed your mind? Choose Keep my current plan before it takes effect to cancel the scheduled change.

What happens to your data

Nothing is ever deleted. On the Landlord plan, the Projects & time and CIS subcontractor pages are hidden; the data is still there, and everything reappears the moment you upgrade again. Your property pages stay available on both plans.
