More landlords are choosing to exit the rental market than at almost any point in the last decade — tax changes, tighter regulation, EPC requirements and higher mortgage rates have made the numbers work less well for a lot of portfolios. If you're one of them, the question isn't really "should I sell?" any more — it's "what's the smartest way to do it?" Your main decision is timing versus tenancy. Selling with vacant possession on the open market usually achieves the highest price, because you're selling to the full range of buyers, including owner-occupiers on a mortgage. But it means ending the tenancy first, which takes time and has to be done properly and fairly. Selling with the tenant in place is faster and avoids a void period, but it narrows your buyer pool to other landlords and investors, which typically means a lower price. If you've got more than one property to sell, it's also worth thinking about sequencing — selling them one at a time versus as a portfolio, and whether an investor buyer might take several off your hands in one go to save you the hassle of multiple sales. There's no single right answer here — it depends on your mortgage position, your tenant, and how much time you've got. We'll look at your actual numbers and tell you honestly which exit gets you the best outcome, not just the fastest sale. Get in touch and we'll talk through your options.
