Landlords, with the proposed Renters’ Rights Bill and minimum EPC C targets just around the corner, now is the time to safeguard your investments and protect your business from hostile actions or circumstances.

For some landlords with older properties, those who will be retiring in the next 5 years and those who are fed up of being treated like “the bad guy”, this has meant leaving the private rental sector altogether, despite increased demand for rental properties and rents at an all-time high.

There are, however, alternative strategies to consider—such as portfolio restructuring – with some landlords choosing to only dispose of underperforming properties, or those unlikely to meet the upcoming EPC Grade C requirements which can be brought to standard more easily by new investors without tenants in situ.

Proceeds from these sales can be used to pay off mortgages on stronger-performing assets; acquire properties that already meet the EPC standard; or invest in vacant properties that can be upgraded more easily without tenants in situ.

It is  anticipated that the market may soon see an influx of vacant former rental properties, given the volume of Section 21 notices currently being processed so to get the price for your property, any landlord thinking of selling should aim to get their sale secured before a saturated market drives property prices downward.

The good news for anyone thinking of restructring is that if supply does outstrip demand in the near future, landlords who can sell and complete before then may find themselves in a highly advantageous position to re-enter the market—capitalising on lower property prices and a wider selection of investment-ready opportunities.

With the market in their favour and money to invest in upgrades or changes, landlords have a great chance to boost their rental income with high quality  accomodation and tenants paying premium rent at current market rates.

To take your property to the next rung of the property ladder, landlords will need to sell and complete quickly which is where Landlord Sales Agency comes in – we sell buy-to-let properties, no matter what condition, no matter where, no matter what situation, with or without tenants, for the best price possible.

Our Formula 1 style team of landlord portfolio exit specialists are the best in the UK at selling. With access to a database of over 30,000 private buyers, property purchasing funds, and connections with the top performing local agents, our selling method creates a bidding war, driving prices up to get you the best possible price for your properties. It’s the perfect machine. Every month we’re selling batches of properties, and we’re selling them faster than anyone else: our average sale time is just 28 days.

Because buyers must complete within 56 days of properties being ready for completion and we secure buyers as soon as a sale is agreed; landlords can leave everything to us and enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their properties, tenants, rents and spending* is in safe hands.

*Many landlords don’t realise that if they sell through traditional routes, they could end up holding empty properties for several months while waiting for the sale to complete. That means a loss of  income combined with increased spending while landlords pay for insurance, utility bills, council tax and empty property protocols.  We help you avoid these lengthy and costly void periods.

We don’t ‘just’ specialise in selling houses with tenants fast – we also specialise in getting the best price possible for properties that are difficult to sell and are typically bought by investors at rock bottom prices – such as leasehold flats or properties in need of significant repair. Although these types of sales often face delays due to service charges, lease issues, or cladding concerns. We work to resolve those complications, so you don’t lose money to a rushed auction sale or months of having to pay for an empty property.

Whether you’re looking to exit the market entirely or upgrade your portfolio, now’s the time to take action. If you want to stay in control and avoid the hassle and cost of drawn-out completions, get in touch with Landlord Sales Agency today to see how we can help.
