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.
