We’ve said it before, and no doubt you’re experiencing it now: it’s a tough market for landlords. With increasing compliance costs, unreliable tenants, and a rapidly changing property landscape, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s time to throw in the towel and cash out before prices drop further. In fact, you’re not alone, it’s a decision that many landlords are making.

A landlord from Windsor was in that exact position. Over the last four years, Landlord Sales Agency had helped her sell 40 properties, handling everything from obtaining compliance certificates to managing major refurbishments and even resolving serious coal mining survey issues. But recently, she decided that enough was enough. It was time to package up her six remaining properties. She didn’t want to take the risk and wait for house prices to plumet.

What’s more, with the remaining properties having numerous problems, she opted for the best possible option: a quick, efficient, and guaranteed sale. And that’s exactly what we delivered.

Rather than dealing with

the hassle of individual sales, she trusted us to secure a cash buyer for all six properties in one go.

With four properties on the Wirral and two in North Wales, this was no easy feat, especially with two tenants in significant arrears, having missed multiple payments in the last 12 months. To make matters even more complex, one tenant was an elderly resident on a long-term rent-back agreement from 2006, meaning any buyer needed to be willing to keep them in place. We handled it all, ensuring the buyer was committed to retaining the tenant and providing them with long-term security.

As for the compliance issues? No problem. Some of the landlord’s properties had damp issues and lacked EICRs, which could have seriously delayed or derailed a traditional sale. Thanks to our national agreements with Rentokil, Peter Cox and our extensive network of electricians, we resolved all outstanding issues swiftly, ensuring the deal progressed smoothly.

As if that wasn’t enough, historical coal mine shafts resided near two of the properties. Whilst a neighbouring homeowner had to slash their asking price by £60K due to similar concerns, we had a better solution. Our structural engineers and coal mining surveyors conducted thorough investigations, providing reports that gave the all-clear. As a result, we secured mortgage buyers who were willing to pay £360K more than a cash-only sale would have achieved.

Every single problem that the portfolio had, we were able to solve to ensure the fastest possible sale for the landlord, whilst getting the highest price possible.

At Landlord Sales Agency, this is what we do best. We take complex portfolios, navigate every legal and logistical hurdle, and deliver results that exceed expectations.

Whether you have tenant issues, compliance concerns, or properties that seem impossible to shift, we have the expertise, resources, and buyers to get them sold quickly and for the best possible price.

If you’re a landlord looking to offload your properties with zero stress and maximum return, now is the time to act.
