Landlords face many problems, most relate to property and/or tenants however ongoing economic and legislative changes have added a lot more things for landlords to worry about. Shrinking returns, increased costs, more rules, more penalties and the prospect of fewer options to end tenancies have resulted in more and more landlords selling some or all of their rental properties.
Over the next 12 months 41% of landlords said they plan to sell at least some rental properties, compared to just six per cent saying they would buy
Why are landlords selling up?
-
Tax hikes: The UK government’s planned tax hikes are putting pressure on the buy-to-let market.
-
Rising costs: Rising costs, taxes, and legislation are making it more attractive for landlords to sell.
-
Mortgage rates: Mortgage rates have spiked and are expected to remain high for longer.
-
Incentive repeal: The repeal of several incentives has put pressure on the buy-to-let market.
How National Residential Can Help Landlords Sell Property With Minimum Disruption To Rental Income…
Our business is providing our clients with a FAST, SECURED WAY TO SELL PROPERTY AND COMPLETE THE SALE. Typically, the whole process from start to finish takes between 7 – 87 DAYS… i.e. less than 13 weeks.
What’s more, we also specialise in tenant negotiations and selling tenanted property with vacant possession delivered in time for completion to minimise the period a property is not producing rental income to offset running/purchase costs.
…And Sell Property For The Highest Price
Unfortunately, some landlords are forced to sell due to water, fire or criminal damage caused by tenants, weather or disrepair together with a lack of cash to run empty properties and make essential repairs.
Not only do landlords in these circumstances need to sell quickly to avoid losing money buying/running empty property, they also face the prospect of having to sell for less than they paid for the property if the damage renders the property unmortgagable.
As well as specialising in selling property fast, we specialise in selling for the best price.
We have finances available so that we can fix problems ahead of completions using a cash advance on any profit made by the sale so that bidding is open to mortgage lenders as well as cash buyers and the sale price is pushed higher by competing bids.
Our cash advance option can also be used to stop repossession and property being sold at traditional auctions that typically attract cash only buyers and properties often sell for only 70% of their market value.
We have immediate cash advances to :
- Pay for property repairs to prevent properties being unmortgagable
- Stop debt collection processes that could result in your property being sold for 70% of its market value
- Extend leaseholds to avoid limiting your market to people who can pay cash AND afford to extend the leasehold 2 years after purchase
We have a number of options available to sellers from our 7 day sale where we COMPLETE (pay you the cash value) in as little as 7 days to our 28 day sales with cash advance in 28 days or on completion (typically 56 days).
For more information, contact us ASAP on 0800 612 8499 (24/7) to discuss your needs and let us tell you how we can help you sell your property fast for the best price and the least disruption to your rental income.
