Selling "in situ" is now the most efficient exit strategy since the Renters' Rights Act 2026 abolished Section 21.  Landlord Sales Agency specialise in transferring tenancies directly to investors, bypassing the new Section 8 Ground 1A 4-month notice periods and potential court delays. Note: We are not a 'fast house sale company' or 'fast cash house buyers". These companies are notorious for offering a minimum of 25% below market value and insisting on eviction before buying. Landlord Sales Agency are a specialist tenanted sales agency founded and run by Landlords and headed up by CEO David Coughlin. A full time professional landlord for over 30 years David is a highly respected adviser and contributor within the industry regularly featuring on the Landlord Show, Property 118, Landlord Zone and in national newspaper articles on landlord issues.

No. In fact, evicting to sell now carries higher risk; if a sale falls through after an eviction, you may be prohibited from re-letting for 12 months.  Plus, court hearings for evicting to sell are now mandatory and all paperwork compliance to the Renters Rights Act will be forensically examined and one error or mistake will render the notice invalid and could lead to fines. Selling with tenants in place ensures continuous rental income until completion.

We recommend letting us handle the communication for you. As Landlords ourselves we are highly experienced at managing tenant relationships during a sale to ensure they feel secure, which prevents them from worrying unduly about whether or not their tenancy and home is at risk.

Unlike traditional agents selling homes to residential buyers, we don't necessarily need viewings to sell. Many of our professional investors buy 'sight unseen' based on our data and compliance audits. Additionally, we are highly experienced in liaising with tenants to protect their right to 'quiet enjoyment' while persuading them to allow access.

Unlike standard homes, tenanted assets are valued based on investor demand, current yield, tenant history, and 2026 compliance. We provide a Free "2026 Compliance Audit" with every valuation to ensure your paperwork (Gas Safety, EPC, and Written Statements) meets the new Renters Rights Act to help prevent fines and also to ensure that the buyers solicitor does not find reasons to block the sale.

Many landlords come to us with an estate agents valuation based on a vacant possession sale to a homebuyer. These valuations are commonly inflated with the aim of securing the sale to meet the estate agents property listing targets. While a vacant price might look good on paper, it often results in a way lower 'walk away' price. First; accepted offers in the current buyer led market are often in the region of 3%-5% below asking price. On a £200K property that means accepted offers of c£190,000-£195,000. Plus, selling vacant means losing 6–12 months of rent during offer accepted to completion (1 in 3 estate agents sales collapse), paying council tax and utilities on an empty home, and potentially spending £2k–£3k on refurbishments prior to marketing the property for sale. Add in the above costs - and a lost income of c£1000p/m rent - the actual costs of a £200K valuation could amount to £22,000-£31,000 meaning a 'walkaway price' of £178,000 or even as low as £169,000. We strongly recommend that you do this 'walkaway price' calculation using the relevant costs involved to accurately compare an 'evict and sell' sale to a tenanted sale valuation. Selling with tenants means you keep your rent until completion, and sell 'as is' without a refurb, often netting you a similar or better 'walk away' price without the cost, delay, or hassle of an 'evict and sell' sale.

With an 'evict and sell vacant' you need to add the 4 months mandatory notice period, and a 1-2 months wait for a court hearing to approve an eviction, to the 6-12 months expected time between accepting an offer and completion with an estate agent. Total vacant sale completion time: 11 to 18 months. Sell tenanted and there is no 4 months notice period or a 1-2 months wait for a court hearing. And, because 80% of our sales are to cash buyers who often buy 'sight unseen', and don't need a mortgage or survey, the average time from offer acceptance to completion is just 56 days. Total tenanted sale completion time: On average 9 to 16 months quicker than an 'evict and sell' sale.

Unlike an estate agency sale - once you accept an offer, we secure a £2,000 non-refundable deposit from the buyer. This financial commitment means 93% of our agreed sales reach completion, compared to the national average where 1 in 3 vacant sales with traditional estate agents collapse. That near certainty of sale removes the usual stressful time that a property seller normally endures right up to the day of completion.

Just start the form on this page. Unlike many valuation sites - and especially those of 'sell house fast' companies - we don't ask for confidential property information online like postcodes, rental income and yields; this data is often sold on to third parties. Plus, online valuations are often deliberately set to 'high' to motivate you to provide contact details, only for the valuation to be dropped once you are called. As landlords ourselves we believe your data should be protected and not disclosed online. That's why we initially only ask for basic information such as the type of property, general location and a vacant valuation range. This allows us to pre-assess buyer demand and the Selective Licensing rules in the area for a valuation and your Free Compliance Audit. Our aim is to give you a precise valuation that allows you to make an informed decision on whether or not you want to sell. That can only be done after a short, no obligation, call where you only provide further property details once you have 'interviewed' us and are confident in our ability to give you the sales service you are looking for.
