Illustrative, not a valuation or an offer. Assumes the agent route needs about six months for notice, a void and a sale, with no rent in that time, a small premium for vacant possession, 2% + VAT agency, £1,650 legal and £650 EPC, and that the sale does not fall through. Mortgage interest, tax and any arrears are not included. Your real offer depends on the property and the tenancy.
Why Landlords Sell

Landlord selling a rental property? You are not the first, and you do not have to empty it.

Letting a home is a long game, and plenty of owners reach a point where it stops being worth the effort. The usual advice is to wait for the tenancy to end, then tidy up and list. A landlord exit cash buyer offers another way to sell your house fast, with no agent fees and no empty months. If you would rather not wait, you can sell a rental property with a tenant in place — the idea behind selling with a tenant in place. No judgement on how you got here.

1

Notice takes time

Tenancy rules shift, so check the current position before serving anything. Getting it wrong can set you back, and a sale to an investor or a family buyer waits on the outcome.

2

An empty home earns nothing

Once the tenant leaves, the rent stops while the mortgage, insurance and bills carry on. Selling vacant can change who will buy, but the gap in income is yours to carry.

3

Buyers with mortgages hesitate

A lender may be wary of a tired flat, an HMO or a property with a short lease. Our guide to a house that will not get a mortgage shows why a cash buyer can step in. We buy flats for cash when they are tired too.

4

The paperwork still matters

Landlords have legal duties, for example protecting deposits and keeping gas and electrical safety paperwork in order. A solicitor can confirm what applies to your sale; we simply buy and pay for the legal work on both sides.

How It Works

Three steps from “I am done” to completion

No viewings, no listing and no conversation with your tenant about leaving. Our complete guide to selling your house fast covers the wider picture.

1

Tell us about the rental

Address, type, rent, who lives there and anything awkward, such as arrears or an HMO. The short form takes a minute, or message a real person on WhatsApp until 10pm daily.

2 min
2

Get one firm cash figure

We look at each case and come back with a single cash offer, usually within the hour. It is not a valuation, and there is no obligation to accept.

About an hour
3

Complete on your date

The legal fees on both sides are on us, the tenant stays and the rent continues until completion. Typically 14 days from acceptance, from 7 days where the case allows.

Landlord Situations We Buy

We buy any house or flat a landlord wants to let go

Six situations we see every week. We buy any house, flat or HMO as it stands, so a landlord exit does not need a clean slate first. Here are the ones we hear most. See the ways to sell if you want to compare routes.

1

Tired of the rules

Compliance, certificates and changing regulations can feel like a second job. Sell the rental and hand all of it over to cash house buyers for landlords.

2

Tenant not paying

Arrears or a dispute does not have to end the sale. We can buy without you serving notice or waiting for the dispute to settle.

3

HMO or licence trouble

An HMO can need a licence in some areas, and a missing or expiring one worries mortgage buyers. We can take it on as it stands; ask us about your own case.

4

A flat with service-charge worries

Rising service charges, a big works bill or cladding questions can put buyers off. We buy flats for cash and can often progress where a lender would not, so you can sell a tenanted flat without fuss; see our flat selling page and the short lease flat guide.

5

An inherited rental

A let property left to you, with a tenant and a grant still to come, is more than many families want. Our probate house page explains the steps.

6

Just one property to let go

You may have a single buy-to-let that no longer fits your plans. It is a small sale to us, handled the same way, and a quiet one for the tenant. We buy flats for cash, so a single let flat is as welcome as a house. If it also stands empty between tenants, that works too.

Your Options

Keep it, sell empty, or sell as it stands?

None of the three is wrong. You can keep letting, or sell without an estate agent and with no agent fees to cash house buyers. Which fits depends on your time, your tenant and how much effort you want to spend.

Landlord FAQ

Questions landlords ask before they sell house fast

No. We can buy with the tenant staying, so you can sell a rental without serving notice. Tenancy law moves on, so if you are thinking of serving notice anyway, ask a solicitor where you stand first.
You can still sell a house with a non-paying tenant. Unpaid rent or a falling-out does not close the door. Tell us what has happened on the form and we will say honestly what we can do.
Often, yes. We buy any house, including an HMO, as it stands, so you can sell an HMO fast even if it is tired. An HMO can need a licence in some areas, so mention yours, including one that is due to expire. We look at each case before we make an offer.
Your tenant's deposit, gas safety and electrical certificates are things your solicitor will ask about. Your solicitor handles the legal transfer, and we pay both sides' solicitors.
No. Capital gains tax can apply to a sale, but we do not give tax advice and nothing is deducted for it. Speak to an accountant before you decide, so you know what you would keep.
Completion is typically 14 days from acceptance, and from 7 days where the case allows. We give one firm cash figure, usually within the hour. Choose a later date if you would rather give your tenant more time.
Yes. We buy with the tenant in place, the rent continues until completion and no notice is needed from you. Our page on selling with a tenant in place goes into more detail.
No. Selling without an estate agent means no agent fees, and the fees to you are £0. As cash house buyers, we pay both sides' solicitors. The figure on the offer is what you receive, less any mortgage being repaid.
Other Situations

Not only a landlord thing?

Many rentals come with a second problem, such as an inheritance, a lease or a packed-out room. If you want to sell house fast, buyers like us handle those without a listing. See every situation we buy, or read why people choose a quick sale. A cluttered property is no obstacle either.
