Sell Buy-to-Let Properties Faster: How National Residential / Landlord Sales Agency Can Help
Are you a landlord looking to sell your buy-to-let properties fast? At National Residential, we specialise in helping landlords sell their property portfolios quickly and for the best possible price, no matter what challenges are involved.
Take, for example, a landlord from Wandsworth who recently contacted us. He needed to sell his entire property porfolio fast… every property was tenanted and he needed to sell during a Covid lockdown.
We sold all 5 properties in less than a month, releasing over £500,000 in cash with absolutely no hassle, worry, or stress. Our team handled every step of the process, resolving any issues along the way.

Landlords across the country are facing a dilemma: with rising costs, new legislation, and market uncertainty creating a perfect storm, many landlords are left wondering — should I hold onto my properties or sell before it’s too late?
The property market isn’t just changing — it’s transforming, and the choices you make today could define your financial future.
If you are unsure of what to do you are not alone – just look at the number of landlords questioning issues or raising points in reply to Property118 articles.
Many landlords have already taken the decision to cash out and walk away from the sector with their profits safe and intact but with demand for properties sky-high, and with talk of an interest rate cut in February, selling your property portfolio may not be the right decision for everyone at this moment in time.
There is no decision that will be correct for all landlords – it depends on many things including cash flow, tenants, profit, inclination and property condition. The one thing that is certain: every landlord in the UK should be looking at their portfolio and weighing up their options before the Renter’s Rights bill becomes law because it will create changes that will affect every landlord in England.
News this week of the Renters’ Rights Bill returning to Parliament and getting ever closer to becoming law by the summer of this year has sent alarm bells ringing.
Abolition of Section 21, banning advance rent payments and more powers given to councils to fine landlords, ha
ve created a perfect storm in the private rented sector.
For landlords like myself, the Renters’ Rights Bill is the final nail in the coffin. Many of us are now looking at our portfolios and asking, “Is it time to step away?”
It may seem like no one is on the side of landlords, but we understand you’ve looked after your portfolio and your tenants, and now you might be considering selling due to the mounting challenges.
You may think selling tenanted properties will be tough and take years to complete, this is where Landlord Sales Agency comes in.

Investors are increasingly interested in buying property companies as a whole, rather than individual properties, and the reason is simple – the tax outcomes are immensely different.
Let me break down why buyers are so keen on this approach and how working with my team at Landlord Sales Agency can connect you with the right buyers ready to buy you out and give you that fast exit and retirement you’ve been yearning for.
One of the biggest expenses property buyers face is Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). When building a property portfolio, the SDLT costs can be overwhelming, especially with the recent surcharge increase to 5% on additional properties. However, when buyers acquire a property company as a whole, they’re only subject to 0.5% Stamp Duty on the company purchase, not the high SDLT rates on each individual property. This difference is driving a wave of interest from serious investors who are looking to acquire property companies as a going concern.

2024 was a tough year for landlords, with Labour winning the general election and introducing new legislation that will make it even more difficult for landlords to operate in the sector.
The introduction of the Renters’ Rights Bill, EPC upgrades back on the cards, and the Budget all contributed to the strain, and left many landlords throwing in the towel.
As we move into 2025, the challenges will continue, with the Renters’ Rights Bill returning to Parliament next week and potentially becoming law by summer this year.
It’s no wonder in 2025, many landlords are simply looking for a way out and considering selling up.

I’ve been working with landlords for years, and if there’s one thing I’ve noticed recently, it’s this: demand for blocks of six or more properties has skyrocketed. We’ve seen a spike in enquiries of buyers wanting to buy several properties at once to kick-start their portfolios.
These aren’t old landlords, they’re new landlords with fresh investment and property buying companies looking to add to their corporate portfolios. What does this mean? What it means is that if you’re a landlord who’s been in the business for a while, and wants to shift your properties, this could be the ideal time to tap into that demand.
We’re not just talking a few buyer enquiries, my network of 30,000+ buyers are actively seeking them right now.
So if you’re looking to sell, and you want to connect directly to serious buyers looking to purchase properties like yours, you’ll want to read on.
Thousands of landlords are feeling the pinch as rising costs, talk of rent caps, and upcoming EPC regulations add pressure to an already challenging rental market.
Landlords don’t want to be stuck waiting years to sell their property. For landlords like Shauna, who had to wait eight years to sell 14 properties, turning to Landlord Sales Agency helped her finally move her portfolio.
When Shauna contacted us she was able to sell the remaining 23 properties of her portfolio in under 16 days.
Shauna says she was shocked at just how fast we were able to find a buyer and all for the best price possible.
We help hundreds of landlords every day, like Shauna, get a quick sale and cash in the bank before the New Year.

We’re two months away from December. New legislations, tax, and changes for tenants are around the corner, and understandably the race to sell before the end of the year is well and truly on.
Last week a whopping 71 landlords contacted us looking to sell. Their biggest worry? They didn’t want to just get rid of their buy-to-let portfolios, they wanted to get rid of them as fast as they possibly could. The feedback was unanimous: “we want to sell quickly, and we don’t mind taking a small cut to get rid of the properties straight away.”
Why? Because, put simply, it looks like we’re about to reach a turning point where the property portfolios that many older landlords have built over the years are more work and cost then they are gain. For many landlords, that crisis boiling point is now.

It’s been tense week this week as landlords waited patiently for Rachel Reeves’ Autumn Budget. As the countdown began to the Chancellor’s announcement, the biggest fear for landlords was a possible hike in Capital Gains Tax.
Yet to the utter relief of the entire landlord sector, the day passed with the news that CGT was going to remain the same for buy-to-let properties. Property investors didn’t walk away completely unscathed, however. As Mortgage Solutions reported, the Chancellor announced that the stamp duty surcharge on the purchase of second properties would be increased from 3% to 5%.
Despite the overall good news, many landlords have remained in brace position and have reached out to exit the market and sell their buy-to-lets.

This week the Telegraph hit the nail on the head when they reported that Landlord profits had collapsed in the past decade following an onslaught of taxes and red tape.
That coupled with the unbelievable amount of hoops landlords have to jump through has pushed the entire sector to breaking point.
You can attempt to whip out as many rose-tinted glasses as you like, but the fact of the matter is, we’re deep into a war on landlords, and it’s pushed many of us to the decision that it’s time to get out. For Shauna, a landlord from Warrington of over 30 years, she shared that like many others, she’d make the decision to downsize.

This week the Telegraph hit the nail on the head when they reported that Landlord profits had collapsed in the past decade following an onslaught of taxes and red tape. That coupled with the unbelievable amount of hoops landlords have to jump through has pushed the entire sector to breaking point.
You can attempt to whip out as many rose-tinted glasses as you like, but the fact of the matter is, we’re deep into a war on landlords, and it’s pushed many of us to the decision that it’s time to get out.
No longer is this an “on the fence” decision, and certainly we don’t say this lightly, nor could we be accused of “scaremongering.” The truth is well and truly upon us, and the figures are grim.

Landlords who’ve been in the business a while are downsizing. If you haven’t thought about doing it before, or if you’re on the fence, you might want to think about it now, before we get too close to December.
For Shirley McLean, a landlord who has been a longstanding member of Property118, it was time to act. She initially became a landlord alongside her husband, who had been a builder but retired. “We decided it would be nice just to have a little bolthole in Scotland. And in order to finance that, we thought if we bought some to-lets that would basically pay for our holiday home and we could be a part of the community.”
Watch Shirley talk to David Coughlin about why, when and how she sold her portfolio with Landlord Sales Agency.

The never-ending onslaught of landlords, including the abolition of Section 21, tough EPC rules, and changes to stamp duty, have left landlords fed up and thinking of throwing in the towel.

A mass sell-off is currently underway in the landlord sector, and it only looks set to increase. EPC requirements, The Renters Rights Bill, mounting financial pressures, the list of reasons goes on.
No doubt you’ve seen the recent headlines, and if you’re a landlord yourself you’ll be forgiven for thinking that the worst is yet to come. In fact, the property market continues to deliver tough news for landlords, with recent proposals suggesting that evictions are just one of the issues that may become increasingly difficult.
Labour’s plans are ramping up, in what can only be described as the “final blow to landlords,” with measures that could prevent landlords from evicting tenants who fail to pay rent if doing so would leave them financially disadvantaged or homeless. While the full details are still being ironed out, many landlords are already feeling the pressure.

The advantage cash buyers have always held over house buyers needing a mortgage through an estate agent is in the speed they can complete.
Now the average time it is taking mortgage buyers to get a deal has almost doubled due to lenders being very, very cautious since interest rates have gone up and are expected to go up again, the advantage cash buyers have is even more persuasive.
To compound the problem for mortgage buyers, there are also huge delays in getting surveyors out to access properties. Of course cash buyers still need to do their due dilligence and also require surveys but they do not need to wait for lenders to review the surveys and any added delay makes cash buyer offers all the more attractive.
