The 22-Month "Lost Rent" Trap: What Happens if Your VP Sale Fails?
Looking To Sell? Under Section 21, in principle, it was simple. Two months 'no fault' notice was given and you were free to sell or decide to re-let.
Under the new rules, if you issue a Section 8 notice to gain vacant possession for a sale, a "Restricted Re-Letting Period" kicks in after tenants leave.
Even if your buyer pulls out or the chain collapses, you are legally barred from re-letting or even marketing the property for 12 months from the date the notice expires.
The Financial 'Trap' Reality:
-
4 Months mandatory notice required (tenant may stop paying rent)
-
6+ Months of court delays if the tenant refuses to leave
-
12 Months of "No Re-Letting" if the sale falls through
Worst Case Scenario: You could be facing up to 22 months of zero rental income just for trying to sell the traditional way.
Re-Letting Bans stop 'false sale notices' if the intention is to evict & re-let

Single property or portfolio sale: we'll get you sold
Listen to how we helped Alasdair, Shauna, Farouk and Roy
"Rental income up to completion"
Small or large portfolio landlord, 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 quicker, and cheaper overall"
Transparent and Pro-Active
Roy had sold property before — and knew what he wanted to avoid.
Everything was clear from the start. “We had honest conversations about price, fees and what was realistic".
And when conveyancing slowed: “You stayed proactive and kept things moving".
In a market where chains collapse and buyers pull out, that involvement matters.

"I can’t praise you enough."
After deciding to downsize and sell , it took Shauna 8 years to sell 14 properties through other agents while waiting for tenants to leave so she could list with vacant possession.
She contacted us and decided to sell 23 tenanted properties from her portfolio, in one lot.
She was shocked when all 23 properties sold for the agreed price just 16 days after listing
When Speed and Certainty Matter
Farouk's business went from making money to costing him money.
After two years of failed attempts to sell his portfolio elsewhere, what mattered most was speed and certainty.
“You sold five or six properties within weeks."
I could clear my mortgages and walk away.
"That removed a huge amount of stress.”
