Every landlord in the UK should already be reviewing their portfolio; tax changes, rising compliance costs and the imminent enforcement of the Renters’ Rights legislation mean the rules of the game have changed. Thousands of landlords have already exited, and with less than four months until the new regime bites, the real question landlords need to ask themselves is how to sell without losing money to voids, delays and collapsed chains.

Selling one property at a time can take years. As many landlords have discovered, it often means frightened tenants, lost rental income and a stop-start exit that drains profit and patience.

That’s why more landlords are choosing portfolio and tenant-in-situ sales through National Residential and Landlord Sales Agency.

We asked a handful of landlords about the reasons they chose Landlord Sales Agency to sell their properties and how was their experience with us.

Watch their answers here or read extracts below.

---

“Eight Years to Sell 14 Properties Was Enough”

After 30 years in property, Shauna had tried selling gradually.

“It took me eight years to sell 14. It was a long, drawn-out process.”

Approaching retirement, she wanted certainty — not another decade of drip-feeding sales.

“I decided I want to get rid of 23 in one go.”

What mattered most was speed and clarity.

“I was actually shocked when the offer came back — the exact figure we went to market with.”

And just as importantly:

“I didn’t have to worry about it. It just went through really smoothly.”

---

Transparency Beats Traditional Estate Agency

Roy had sold property before — and knew what he wanted to avoid.

“With traditional agents there’s a lot of bureaucracy. You don’t know who’s really looking after your interests.”

What stood out was transparency.

“We had honest conversations about price, fees and what was realistic. Everything was clear from the start.”

Even when conveyancing slowed:

“You stayed proactive and kept things moving.”

In a market where chains collapse and buyers pull out, that involvement matters.

---

Rental Income Until Completion

For larger landlords, voids are often the biggest hidden cost.

Alasdair summed up the logic of tenant-in-situ sales simply:

“The buyer gets rental income from day one — and we get income right up until completion.”

No vacant periods. No delays waiting to evict or re-market.

“It’s a locked-in sale, quicker, and cheaper overall.”

---

Avoiding Void Risk in Slower Markets

Shirley knew selling individually would backfire.

“Properties sit on the market for 12–18 months. Tenants get nervous. You’re paying mortgages while you wait.”

Selling landlord-to-landlord solved that.

“You found a buyer really quickly. I took a small cut — but nothing compared to what I would’ve lost waiting.”

Her tenants stayed. Income continued.

“This was by far the best way to do it.”

---

When Speed and Certainty Are Essential

Farouk’s portfolio stopped making sense after mortgage interest relief changes.

“I went from making money to it costing me money.”

After two years of failed attempts elsewhere:

“You sold five or six properties within weeks.”

What mattered most wasn’t squeezing every pound.

“I knew what I was getting. I could clear my mortgages and walk away. That removed a huge amount of stress.”

---

The Question Landlords Should Be Asking Now

With the Renters’ Rights legislation fast approaching, time is the biggest risk.

Selling one by one means:

• Multiple void periods
• Higher chain-collapse risk
• Years of drawn-out exits
• Rising compliance costs while you wait

Portfolio and tenant-in-situ sales offer:

• Income until completion
• Fewer transactions, fewer risks
• Faster, more certain outcomes

As one landlord put it:

“You do what it says on the tin.”

For landlords reviewing their position now, the decision isn’t if you sell — but how you sell without losing control of time, income and momentum.

Landlord Sales Agency – Your Key To Fast, Smart, Sales

We specialise in fast, efficient sales that achieve strong prices without the months of uncertainty that normally accompany a traditional sale. We understand the market dynamics and know that speed and certainty matter just as much as maximising value.

Landlord Sales Agency works with active buyers, portfolio investors and cash purchasers who are ready to proceed. Many sellers receive serious offers within days. The process is straightforward, confidential and designed to protect the landlord’s financial position.

Selling before enforcement begins keeps control in the hands of the landlord, not the council.

To find out what we can do for you, tell us about the properties you want to sell using the button below.

Selling a single property through the high street can take months. Selling a whole portfolio that way can take years. Traditional sales can involve vacant possession, endless viewings, expensive refurbishments, and a long chain of delays that often result in lost rental income and mounting holding costs.

For landlords looking to exit the sector efficiently, there’s a smarter way: an off-market portfolio sale with Landlord Sales Agency — the UK’s only specialist service that takes on the entire portfolio, handles all compliance and presentation work, and connects sellers directly with pre-qualified investors ready to buy.

A Discreet, Targeted Way to Sell Tenanted Properties

An off-market sale is a private transaction that bypasses public advertising on Rightmove, Zoopla and similar portals. Instead of “For Sale” signs and intrusive viewings, the property is discreetly introduced to a trusted network of serious investors.

For landlords, this is ideal when selling tenanted properties. Tenants are not made aware of the sale until a deal is sealed, avoiding anxiety, preserving rental income, and protecting the landlord-tenant relationship. Viewings are only arranged after an offer in principle is made, minimising disruption and tenants’ concern.

Why Landlord Sales Agency Is Different

Not all companies offering off-market sales will sell with tenants in situ. Many simply broker introductions and expect sellers to handle compliance, tenancy issues and presentation themselves. Landlord Sales Agency is unique:

• We take on the entire portfolio, whether it’s two properties or twenty.
• We do all the work themselves to ensure every property is legally compliant and ready for sale.
• We provide buyers with everything they need to make fast investment decisions — rental income, outgoing costs, tenant history and references — all presented clearly as yields and potential growth figures.

Because of this, sales are often agreed as soon as investors receive property details that match their criteria, before a single public listing goes live.

Flexibility If Buyers Don’t Want Tenants

If an offmarket buyer wants vacant possession, rather than take a slow, costly court route, Landlord Sales Agency mediates with tenants to achieve vacant possession faster and more amicably.

A Premium Service That Pays for Itself

High street sales often look cheaper on paper but rarely account for:

• Void periods: Properties can sit empty for 8 months or more waiting for the “right” buyer, losing valuable rental income.
• Refurbishment and marketing costs: Cleaning, redecoration, photography and multiple viewings add up fast.
• Time and stress: Selling multiple properties individually through traditional routes can take years.

By contrast, Landlord Sales Agency typically achieves 85–90% of the high street value, with no other costs to pay. When you factor in the savings on voids, running costs, and time wasted, the premium for a bespoke service designed specifically for selling rental portfolios is a very small price to pay for a fast, smooth exit.

A Fast, Smooth Exit for Landlords

Whether you want to sell your entire portfolio in one transaction or streamline an exit over a short period, Landlord Sales Agency provides a one-stop solution.

Whether you’re looking for the best price for your property through our 28 day sales ‘on the market’ model where private buyers compete with investors to push up the sales price or you want the discretion and certainty of an offmarket sale; we manage everything end-to-end, from compliance checks to marketing, negotiation and handover, so you can walk away without years of drawn-out sales and headaches.

If you’re considering selling one or more rental properties, don’t waste years selling in dribs and drabs through the high street. Contact Landlord Sales Agency today to find out how a discreet off-market portfolio sale could give you a faster, more reliable, stress-free exit.

For many landlords today, simply keeping a property portfolio has become heavy work: rising tax bills, tougher regulation (EPC, safety certificates, tenants’ rights), interest‐rate shocks, and long sales delays under traditional estate agents.

That’s where Landlord Sales Agency steps in — with strategies proven in real case studies, helping landlords exit their portfolios quickly, safely and profitably.

Below are several examples of why landlords choose us, and the things we do that high street agencies don’t.

---

What We Do, And Why It Matters

Landlord Sales Agency offers a full “portfolio exit” service. Some of our core promises and practices include:

• Selling tenanted properties without needing evictions where possible, and handling tenant relations sensitively.
• Covering or funding necessary refurbishments, repairs, certificates (EPC, gas, electrical etc.), so properties are “sale-ready.”
• Using a large private network of buyers (30,000+ chain free buyers and investors, portfolio funds) to reduce time on market and generate competitive bids.
• Handling all the admin, legal, and practical hurdles: surveys, solicitor issues, certificates, licensing.
• Usually achieving around 85-90% of market value in exchange for much faster sales (often under 28 days).
• Sometimes offering cash advances, helping landlords meet urgent bills / refurbishment costs while awaiting the sale.

These features come from actual case studies — read on for how landlords benefitted in different situations.

Case Studies: Real Examples

1. Shirley McLean: Whole Portfolio Sold Smoothly & Rapidly

• Shirley had four tenanted properties in Kelty, Fife, which had been hard to sell individually. Selling them one by one seemed risky: slow market, disrupted tenants, mortgage costs on empty houses.
• Landlord Sales Agency sold all four “in record time” by combining their local agent network + their private buyer database. They also managed tenants so there was minimal disruption. Shirley walked away with a deal she was happy with, and tenants kept on.

What this shows » The importance of specialist experience: landlord-tenanted properties are different. With care and local knowledge, selling tenanted houses can still be fast and respectful.

---

2. Roy: 15-Property Portfolio in 3 Weeks

• Roy had 15 buy-to-let houses (including an HMO business) and wanted to exit while profit margins still existed. He had minimum acceptable sale prices per property.
• Landlord Sales Agency delivered: sold all through them, with transparency, meeting his price expectations, and in just 3 weeks total.

Takeaway » Even with larger portfolios, and even when landlords have specific price targets, a well-run specialist can satisfy both speed and value.

---

3. Midlands-Based Landlord: Refurbs & Extra Profit

• A landlord in the Midlands had a portfolio with some empty houses, others in poor condition or low rent, and needed to exit to avoid financial strain.
• Landlord Sales Agency funded the necessary refurbishments (including using their own building teams). Two properties in poor condition were upgraded and sold at much higher prices than forecast (e.g. buying for ~£125-£160K, refurb, then selling for ~£240-£300K), netting ~£200K extra profit after costs.

Benefit » Not just “sell what you have” — but invest a little (or front the investment) to increase value, and get a much higher return.

---

4. Shauna: Selling 23 Properties in One Go, in Just 5 Days

• Shauna had been in buy-to-let for 30 years. Traditional selling was slow and piecemeal. She didn’t want to break her portfolio into small parts.
• Landlord Sales Agency took on 23 properties, sold them all in one package over just 5 days. She kept 10 properties that she wanted to hold; the rest were sold. She had minimal involvement; the agency dealt with everything.

Lesson » For landlords ready to retire or shift strategy, selling in bulk via experts dramatically reduces time, stress, and uncertainty.

---

5. Block Portfolio Sale: £2.3 million in 9 Days

• A landlord with two blocks (24 flats across both) all tenanted, reached out to us. We managed to sell both blocks quickly: one in 9 days, another block with one viewing. Offers made quickly, tenants kept on.

What this demonstrates » Even complex sales, with large tenanted blocks, are feasible on very short timescales when you work with a specialist who has the network and test-driven process.

---

6. Multiple Landlords, £1.15M in 4 Weeks

• Five landlords with different portfolio sizes (blocks of flats, smaller sets, properties needing certificates or with tenant issues) used us to exit the PRS cleanly.
• We sold multi-unit blocks and smaller portfolios: e.g. a freehold block of flats in East Dulwich sold for ~£1.15M in 4 weeks, after resolving delays, tenant documentation, EPC/EICRs etc.

Key point » Size doesn’t always matter: whether big blocks or smaller holdings, we can scale our service and handle issues across geography, condition, tenancy status.

---

Common Themes & Advantages

From these case studies, some patterns emerge that are especially valuable for landlords:

• Speed is achievable: many portfolios sold in under 28 days, some in just a week or two. Delays (void periods, tenant disruption, legal or certificate hold-ups) are minimised.
• Value retained: by using their private buyer networks + refurb opportunities, landlords often get well above what they would via standard estate agent delays.
• Letting tenants stay where possible: this reduces disruption, avoids evictions, and often helps maintain rental income until sale completion.
• All the admin done for you: everything from surveys, certificates, legal issues, refurb work is handled (or project managed) by the agency.
• Financial flexibility: in some cases the agency fronts refurbishment or costs, entire portfolios can be converted to cash, tax liabilities or mortgage pressures addressed via advance (where possible).

---

What Landlords Facing Tough Times Should Consider

• If your properties are low-yield, need refurb, or redoing certificates, a specialist can absorb much of that pain and increase sale proceeds.
• If you don’t want headaches (tenants, evictions, voids, legal risk), there are exit paths that preserve tenancy where possible, with minimal disruption.
• Timing matters: with certain regulation, interest rates, and policy changes looming, the “window” to sell at good value may be closing. Acting sooner can help.
• Even if you expect 100% market value, the hidden costs (long seller periods, legal / agent fees, mortgage & upkeep during vacancy) often reduce your net significantly. Accepting 85-90% with speed & clarity may net you more overall after costs.

---

Exit The PRS The Smart Way

If any of this sounds like your situation — a portfolio that’s become a financial burden, sixteen different issues holding your sale back, or simply wanting out for peace of mind — it might be time to reach out to Landlord Sales Agency.

We’ve helped landlords across the UK — from Scotland to London, from single blocks to dozens of properties — get properties sold fast, for a fair trade price and total transparency.

In today’s climate of uncertain interest rates, increasing regulation, and shrinking profits, more landlords are choosing to exit the rental market. But selling a portfolio — especially with tenants in situ — is far from straightforward.

Chains collapse. Buyers pull out. Solicitors drag their feet. And selling one property at a time can take years — costing landlords dearly in voids, stress, and lost momentum.

But Landlord Sales Agency offers a smarter solution.

As a specialist online estate agency set up by landlords for landlords, Landlord Sales Agency has designed its sales model specifically to tackle the problems landlords face — offering a fast, secure, and streamlined way to sell one property or an entire portfolio, with or without tenants.

---

Sell Your Portfolio Fast — Without Selling in Dribs and Drabs

Whether you want to sell one, two or twenty properties, Landlord Sales Agency can market them:

• As a portfolio to a single buyer
• Individually to maximise value
• Or as a mix of both, depending on your priorities

This ensures a strategic sale that avoids long delays, protracted marketing, or waiting months to sell each unit separately.

---

Sell With Tenants in Situ — Avoiding Voids and Hassle

One of the key advantages of working with Landlord Sales Agency is our ability to sell properties with tenants in place. This avoids void periods, keeps rent flowing during the sale process, and makes the property more attractive to investor buyers.

We maintain a private database of over 30,000 pre-qualified buyers, including serious investors actively looking for rental properties with reliable tenants and verified tenancy histories.

---

Need Vacant Possession? We’ll Handle It — Humanely and Effectively

If your buyer requires vacant possession, Landlord Sales Agency can manage that too — but without forcing the issue through the courts.

Our experienced team are expert negotiators, skilled at handling tenant relationships with care and professionalism. We often help tenants relocate voluntarily, avoiding costly legal battles and delays through an already overstretched court system.

---

Secure Buyers With Non-Refundable Deposits — No More Timewasters

Traditional estate agents leave landlords vulnerable to buyers pulling out at the last minute, wasting months of progress and thousands in legal fees.

Landlord Sales Agency secures every buyer with a non-refundable deposit, so once an offer is accepted, the sale is locked in. No sudden renegotiations. No disappearing buyers. No collapse at the eleventh hour.

---

A 56-Day Auction Model That Works for Landlords and Buyers Alike

We use a 56-day modern auction process, giving mortgage buyers enough time to complete, while still providing speed and certainty for landlords. It’s the best of both worlds: a fast, fair, and competitive sale process — minus the risks of a traditional auction.

---

Efficient Legal and Surveying Support to Keep Things Moving

Landlord Sales Agency work closely with a panel of independent solicitors who are legally bound to protect client interests — but also commit to prioritising NR clients, helping push transactions through faster than the average sale.

We have established links to trusted surveyors, engineers and builders, ready to offer quick second opinions or solve issues that would normally stall a sale.

---

We offer landlords a fast, direct route to exit the market without having to sell multiple properties in dribs and drabs.

---

Looking to Sell a Property Portfolio Fast?

Landlords often face multiple challenges when they want to sell their portfolio:

• Navigating tenant evictions
• Avoiding long void periods
• Minimising legal and transactional costs
• Managing repairs and compliance paperwork

When you sell your portfolio to Landlord Sales Agency, we handle everything. There are no estate agency fees, no hidden costs, and no delays. We’ll even cover your legal fees and EPCs.

We agree a price you are happy to accept to sell your entire portfolio in one sale then we pay costs and take our pay from anything we raise over that offer.

---

Sell My Portfolio – With or Without Tenants

If your portfolio includes occupied properties, you might be worried about evictions. When we sell your portfolio to another professional landlord or investor, it’s often possible for tenants to remain in place under their current agreements. This avoids disruption and keeps the rental income flowing right up to completion.

Selling on the open market? You may be required to serve notice and create vacant possession, which leads to additional costs, stress and delays. If you want to sell a property portfolio fast, we’re the hassle-free alternative.

---

We Buy Entire Portfolios or Just Part

Whether you want to sell your whole portfolio or just a section of it, we’ll work with your goals. We sell:

• Individual buy-to-let properties
• Groups of properties
• Entire portfolios

Many of our buyers are not reliant on mortgages, many are happy to buy with good tenants in place because of the tenant information we collect in addition to property details and they don’t always need viewings to make an offer – which means you can get a quick, cash sale with minimum disruption for your tenants.

---

Sell My Portfolio FAQ

Can you sell every type of property?
Unfortunately, due to current market conditions, we are unable to sell flats or leasehold properties.

What areas of the UK do you cover?
We mainly sell properties in England and Wales and occasionally sell properties in Scotland.

How much does it cost to sell my portfolio?
If you use a traditional agent, you may pay thousands in commission, legal fees, EPCs and VAT. At Landlord Sales Agency, there are no agent fees – and we cover your legal and EPC costs too.

Do the properties need to be in good condition?
No. If you’re thinking, “I want to sell my portfolio but some properties need work”, we still want to hear from you. Our investors buy properties in any condition – including those needing full renovation.

What happens after I accept an offer from a portfolios buyer?
Glad you asked because that’s where the real work begins and why so many other estate agencies fail. Long story short, you leave everything to us. We liaise with the buyer, tenants, solicitors, conveyors and anyone else we need to, to get the deal over the line in the shortest time possible. We keep you updated all the way and all you have to do is let us know what you’d like us to do.

Can I sell my portfolio without viewings?
Possibly. We do have buyers willing to buy without viewings but to get the best possible price for your properties, we normally encourage viewings from chain free private buyers to ensure investors have to bid a fair price.  

If your tenants don’t want viewings – or you want a discrete sale without your tenants knowing until the sale is agreed – just talk to us and let us discuss the best way for you to get the best price for your properties without viewings.

Landlord Sales Agency specialises in helping landlords sell their properties quickly without having to evict tenants. We have 3 different sales models to choose from, including our ‘Full Market Value with Fees’ choice but our most popular option is our ‘Fixed Price’ sale. Landlords agree a sale price they are happy to accept and we take our fee from the difference between the agreed offer and the final sales price. Our fixed price offer is normally in the region of 85% of a high street valuation.

A question we are often asked is “why would I sell property for 15% less than it’s worth?”

Our answer would probably focus on the quality and convenience of our service which we believe is the best in the fast property sales business. We take our fee and pay sellers’ conveyancing costs* from the difference so the real cost is considerable lower especially when sellers consider the savings they make by avoiding prolonged VOID periods, through smaller CGT bills and according to Zoopla, in the UK property market, the average discount on value for homes (including simple sales) in 2025 is generally in the range of 3% to 5%, with some regions experiencing more significant reductions.

However, to give you an impartial answer, we asked AI. This is their answer:

Landlords might accept 85% of market value to sell a property quickly for several practical and strategic reasons, often linked to cash flow, risk, or personal circumstances. Here are the main ones:

---

1. Tenant Issues

• Problem tenants (e.g. non-paying, damaging property, anti-social behaviour) can make a quick sale more appealing, especially to cash buyers with time to deal with such complications.
• Tenant consideration landlords who want to look after long term tenants who have looked after the landlord’s property and paid years of rent might choose to sell through specialist agencies who will ensure the tenants can remain in situ or help them relocate after the sale.

2. Exit Strategy / Portfolio Rebalancing

• The landlord might be downsizing or rebalancing their portfolio, offloading underperforming or high-maintenance properties.
• Accepting 85% to release equity quickly can make sense if reinvestment opportunities are more lucrative or if they are having difficulty accessing the equity in a predictable and acceptable timeframe.

3. Avoiding Capital Gains Tax Timing Issues

• Selling before a tax year ends or before planned changes to tax rules can create urgency, making a discount worthwhile.

4. Regulatory and Legal Pressure

• Increasing legislation, rent controls, licensing requirements, and Section 24 tax changes in the UK have made landlording less profitable and more complex.
• Some landlords prefer a fast exit over dealing with ongoing compliance and reduced returns.

5. Property Condition

• A rental may be in poor condition after years of use, and the landlord may not want to invest in refurbishments.
• Selling to an investor or cash buyer “as-is” avoids the cost and effort of making it mortgageable or buyer-friendly.

6. Cash Flow or Debt Pressure

• They may be over-leveraged, facing rising interest rates, or struggling to meet mortgage repayments.
• A fast sale helps reduce exposure or avoid repossession.

7. Void Period Risk

• Facing a long void period (especially with high mortgage costs and no rental income), a landlord might prefer a fast discounted sale.

---

In short, landlords often have a more business-minded approach and are more open to ‘tactical pricing’ as well as the value of their time and energy. If selling at 85% helps reduce risk, cut losses, reduces their involvment and secures a sale or opens up better financial options, it can be a rational decision — especially when they have already profitted from huge capital gains and do not intend to replace assets. Many sellers see the trade-off as worth it for speed, certainty, convenience, and peace of mind.

In this episode, David and Ian catch up with what’s happened so far in 2025… including the Renters’ Rights Bill, the general state of play for landlords at the moment, and what’s still to come down the line.

Why All Landlords Should Know What the Renters’ Rights Bill Means for Them

If you’re a landlord, you’ve probably heard about the Renters’ Rights Bill. But do you know exactly how it will affect you and your rental properties? This important legislation is set to bring significant changes to the private rental sector, so staying informed is crucial.

It’s no longer just about keeping your tenants happy – the new bill will bring in more rules and regulations. It also gives councils will be given more powers to fine landlords for legislative errors. Keeping up with new legislation can be expensive – especially when EPC requirements come into force later this year – but with councils’ new power to fine landlords, failure to comply will be significantly more expensive.

Key Changes in the Renters’ Rights Bill

Here are some of the biggest changes the bill proposes:

• Abolition of Section 21 Evictions – Landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants without a valid reason. This means greater security for tenants but also a need for landlords to be more aware of legitimate grounds for eviction.
• Stronger Grounds for Possession – While Section 21 is going, the government plans to strengthen Section 8, making it easier for landlords to reclaim their property in legitimate cases, such as rent arrears or selling the home.
• A New Ombudsman for Landlords – All private landlords will be required to register with a new ombudsman service, aimed at resolving disputes more efficiently.
• A Property Portal for Compliance – A new online portal will help landlords ensure they are following all legal requirements, making the rental process clearer for both landlords and tenants.
• Improved Standards for Rental Properties – The Decent Homes Standard is set to apply to private rentals, meaning landlords must meet higher property standards.

Why Landlords Need to Stay Informed

These changes could impact everything from how you manage your property to the rights and responsibilities you have as a landlord. Failing to comply with new laws could lead to fines or legal trouble, so understanding your obligations is essential.
One of the best ways to stay updated is by listening to experts who break down these reforms in simple, practical terms.
The Landlord Talk Podcast is a great resource for landlords looking to stay ahead of the curve. The podcast covers key topics affecting landlords, offering expert insights and practical advice.

Keeping informed about the Renters’ Reform Bill will help you adapt to the changes smoothly and continue managing your properties successfully. Don’t get caught out—stay ahead of the game and be prepared!

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.

Half a million pounds earned from the comfort of your sofa in just under 26 days. For a landlord who contacted us from Wandsworth that’s exactly how he celebrated his week.

If you’re a landlord and you haven’t yet heard of us here at Landlord Sales Agency, you’ll definitely want to. Established in 2006, we pride ourselves with our “any problem we can fix” formula, led by myself, founder and industry expert, David Coughlin. It’s that experience, combined with the fact that I’m a private landlord myself, which has allowed us to become the best at helping landlords sell.

How we did it in 26 days for a Landlord who contacted us to sell

Earlier in the month a landlord approached us with a property portfolio of 5 tenanted properties that spanned from Staffordshire all the way up to Newcastle Upon Tyne. He’d read about us here and wanted to see if we really could deliver what we say, especially because selling tenanted properties is often a challenge. Like many landlords who have been approaching us recently, he wanted to sell up his property portfolio fast, but also for the best possible price.

We promised him exactly that. The highest price for his buy-to-lets, no matter what hurdles needed to be overcome.

1. First, we marketed the properties to both landlords and to first-time buyers in order to get as many buyers as possible in competition with each other to drive up the price through our 28-day auction. Rather than just targeting other landlords who want to buy, we know how to negotiate with tenants to leave for first-time buyers to move in, which also means this added competition leads to investors paying a little more than otherwise.

• To keep the tenants on board to do the viewings, and so we could market the properties to their maximum, we paid them to help us with getting photos and video tours and to allow us access for viewings. It cost us less than £200 to get the all the materials we needed, and the money ensured the cooperation of the tenants. No other agents will pay this and landlords are unlikely to propose this, which is why we get access to sell properties quickly and for the best prices, like we did in this case.

• Of the 5 tenanted properties, three were sold to other landlords, and we assisted the tenants of the other two properties to move out by helping them financially at no extra cost to the landlord. We paid for it out of our agency fee. The first property sold in 2 days. 10 days after that 2 more sold.

• By day 24 the fourth property had sold in Durham, and by day 26 the last and final property was sold in Lancashire. The fifth property was sold to a buyer who was so happy with the photos and the video tour we’d got from the tenant, he made an offer without even viewing the property.

All the properties sold via our online modern auction with the additional help of our team going the extra mile to keep tenants onside throughout and to get the very best price for the landlord and win-win solution for the tenants.

The only task the landlord had done throughout the sale was make the decision to contact us to sell. We handled everything else.

“All the staff have been amazing. The head of sales and David have been brilliant, I’m really pleased with the sales and the prices. I’d recommend them to everyone. They’re fantastic.”

– Landlord, Wandsworth

It really was that simple. £500,000 made in 26 days with zero hassle, worry or stress. The landlord was able to sit back and enjoy just over 3 weeks of relaxation knowing he had the best team in the UK solving every single challenge for him.

No matter what issues arise, we really do overcome every single obstacle to get your properties sold for the best prices. We’ve done it time and time again.

Why right now the best time to sell your property portfolios

There’s never been a better time to sell your property portfolios than right now. House prices have been predicted to fall following the end of the stamp duty holiday on 31 March, so now is the perfect window to release the cash in your portfolios and sell up. We’re the team for the job, a team you can trust, who’ll get it done quickly, for the highest price.

Is Covid really a problem for Landlords trying to sell?

Despite what you may have heard or experienced, the answer is no, it doesn’t have to be. During Covid we’ve decided to go all-out to help landlords who are hit by section 24 taxes, by the pandemic, and by the evictions ban – as we have investors who want to get into the buy-to-let market, so we’re acting as a consultancy/sales machine in the middle.

We do a far better job at getting the best prices for tenanted properties and getting deals over the line than traditional estate agents do. We hand-hold tenants whose landlords are selling up and we also have national reach unlike most local agents helping landlords sell their portfolios in different locations.  Not only that we have landlords who will buy properties where tenants totally refuse to cooperate and allow access for viewings or surveys. We have even sold properties recently for amazing prices where the tenants are not paying the rent.

You only have to read our reviews on Google and Trustpilot to see that we’re a company who absolutely delivers what we say.

So if you’re a Landlord who wants to sell their property portfolio, get in touch, and see for yourself what we can do for you.
