We all know that this year’s brought with it some tough challenges for landlords. We’ve also been bombarded with news that, quite frankly, is bringing us all down.

It’s refreshing to hear, therefore, that for landlords who have made the decision to sell, there’s a way out with opportunities to be had, and it’s paying off.
One such landlord based in Derby approached us at Landlord Sales Agency wanting a fast sale, and was worried about tenant approval, especially with us edging ever closer towards the Renters’ Rights Act start date. Rather than exit the market completely, he was looking to sell his difficult properties and knew that traditional estate agents would take far too long and have zero certainty despite their higher market value prices, and auctions would leave him selling for far less than he wanted.
He needed experts who knew exactly how to sell difficult properties with tenants, could deliver certainty of sale and were able to manage the entire sale without him taking too much of a hit on price.
We were able to deliver exactly that. Specialising in landlord portfolio exits, we got to work ensuring full tenant cooperation, which preserved the value of the properties. Despite the tenants being anxious about sale and potential eviction, we were able to position the sales as landlord-to-landlord with clear communication.
Whilst the buyer market dictated vacant possession, our ability to get the tenants to co-operate meant we were able to market the property to substantially more buyers.
The result proved the importance of getting the right people for the job: we sold all 4 of the 6 properties the landlord owned and ensured the tenants assisted with the sale.
What’s more, we sold to a cash buyer, no searches, no survey, avoided a 9-month court delay and achieved £30,000 more than the investor market.
The key takeaway? How you sell matters as much as if you sell, and we’ve got the right experts to do it. The landlord was able to get back on track and was very happy with the price. Whilst landlords need to be realistic in that for a fast sale they’re not going to get 100% market value, what they are able to achieve is more than the investor market, and a substantial amount more than panic selling at auction. It’s a win-win.
And he’s not alone. Every week, around 80 landlords are coming to us to sell, and we’re delivering. Not only are we able to achieve results that landlords are happy with, we’re super fast and we take the entire sales process off the landlords’ hands, allowing them to relax and let us do all of the hard work. On average all our properties sell in less than 28 days.
We get the job done, and we do it faster and better than anyone else. It’s why we’re the trusted choice for companies such as Property 118, LandlordZONE and Hamilton Fraser.
So if you have properties you want to sell and want to get straight to it, get in touch.
We’re here, and we’re ready to get started.


Selling with tenants in place, or after they’ve left? A realistic route to a certain sale
As we entered boldly into 2026, many landlords started the year with a clear message about the state of the sector. The government’s newly published civil penalty tables, which showed fines of up to £35,000 for breaches under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 was just the tip of the iceberg in a nationwide “crackdown” on landlords.
It’s finally arrived, The Renters’ Rights Act, one of the biggest overhauls of the private rental sector, will come into action on 1st May 2026. The Act, which amongst other things including tighter regulations, the banning of Section 21 “no-fault” evictions, and the ability for tenants to request pets, whether or not landlords are comfortable with them in their properties, will also grant Councils more powers than ever before.
Many of us found ourselves having a quick chuckle at Chancellor Rachel Reeves this week after she was well and truly stung for not having a landlord licence. But as much as we might have enjoyed seeing government ministers under the spotlight, don’t forget that same lens will now well and truly be on us.
It’s been a tense few weeks as landlords were hit with mounting financial and regulatory pressures. As the countdown continues to the Renters’ Rights Bill, another blow seemed to hit when the Green Party passed a motion at its conference calling for “
If you were looking for a sign on whether or not to downsize or double down on your property portfolio, recent news has provided mixed messages on how landlords might be affected by the Renters’ Rights Bill.
In what seems like a change to the tide, the property market showed signs of swinging in favour of landlords this month. Following what looked like a tricky time for landlords to sell, it seems that buy-to-let properties are back in demand, and they’re selling fast.
Despite moments of silver lining, I think we all agree it’s a tough market for landlords. With changes to regulations, rent caps, abolishment of Section 21 no-fault evictions, the Renters’ Rights Bill and more, it’s no surprise that so many landlords are still thinking of selling.


As the saying goes: one step forward, two steps back. Just as we thought we were getting out of the danger zone, this week’s shot to the jugular kicked off with the resurfacing of videos referencing Prime Minister Keir Starmer claiming that landlords “do not qualify as working people.” It was the scandal of last October, and as Labour’s rumoured tax plans were announced, the past reared its ugly head with the simple truth that: landlords are in trouble.
Let’s be honest, there’s many reasons you might be thinking of selling right now, and many ways to potentially sell, but nothing’s going to beat the success we’re seeing at Landlord Sales Agency. In the last week alone, we’ve had almost 70 landlords reach out to us and sell, and with the Renters’ Rights Bill just around the corner, that number is increasing daily.
It’s hard not to laugh at the current governmental interference when it comes to landlords and our properties. First, they hit us with the Renters’ Rights Bill, an aggressive swipe that could see thousands of landlords destroyed, down and out, then this: Keir Starmer’s
