If this sounds familiar

You've got more than one route

You can sell with the tenancy running, to an investor who wants the income, or with vacant possession once the tenancy ends. Both are legitimate, and they suit different situations.

Selling with tenants in place can be quicker and avoids a void period, though the buyer pool is smaller and usually an investor. Selling vacant tends to attract owner-occupiers and often a higher price, but the tenancy has to end first.

What matters is knowing the rules that apply to your tenancy before you decide, and getting the timing right.

Usually it's one of these

Why landlords sell up

These are the conversations we have most often.

1

Costs and mortgage rates

The numbers stop working, and the monthly shortfall adds up quickly.

2

Regulation and paperwork

Certificates, licensing and changing rules take real time to keep on top of.

3

A change of plan

Retirement, a move, or simply wanting the capital back out.

4

A difficult tenancy

Arrears or repeated issues make the whole thing feel heavier than it should.

Worth doing either way

Before you market it

Four things to check before you decide on a route.

  • Read the tenancy agreement

    Length, notice terms and any break clauses.

  • Take advice on possession

    The rules are specific, and getting them wrong costs months.

  • Gather the paperwork

    Certificates, deposit details, service charges and any guarantees.

  • Choose your preferred route

    With tenants in place, or with vacant possession.

How we'd approach it

How we'd sell it

We'll talk through both routes, what each is likely to achieve and how long each takes, then market the property to the buyers who fit the route you've chosen.

For tenanted sales we work with the tenancy in place and keep the tenant informed and fairly treated. For vacant sales we handle the marketing once the property is empty.

  • Both routes explained, with the trade-offs in plain English.
  • Marketing aimed at investors or owner-occupiers as appropriate.
  • Tenants treated decently throughout.
  • One contact for the sale, from first chat to completion.
