The government’s proposal to remove Section 21 is likely to make rental properties harder to sell, while the changes to minimum EPC ratings on rental properties could see landlords hit with bills running into thousands.
Why sell your investment property to us?
The buy-to-let market isn’t as lucrative as it once was. Things like new government legislation, increased taxes – especially Section 24 – and new council HMO licensing requirements have made many landlords question whether to continue or not.
In fact, some reports suggest that as many as 25% of landlords are planning to sell some or all of their property portfolios.
And with some of the proposed changes that are due to come into effect over the next few years, it’s likely to become even more difficult for landlords to see the returns they once did.
The government’s proposal to remove Section 21 is likely to make rental properties harder to sell, while the changes to minimum EPC ratings on rental properties could see landlords hit with bills running into thousands.
The requirement to have a minimum EPC rating of C from 2025 will mean average upgrade costs of around £7,000 for landlords whose properties currently fall short. And failure to comply could mean a fine of up to £30,000.

Selling to Sell With Richard Vs. selling via an estate agent
The traditional method of selling a property is a timely and expensive process, which can take many months and cost a lot of money.
In some cases it may be worth the hassle, but often the difference in profit between selling to an investor and selling via an estate agent can be minimal, and the difference in time and stress is significant.

FAQs
Does it matter what condition my investment property is in?
Not at all. We buy properties in any condition.Whether your property needs a lick of paint or a top-to-bottom refurb, we’re interested in buying.
What costs can I save by selling to you rather than a traditional sale through an estate agent?
The biggest saving you’ll make is on estate agent fees. On an average property you could be looking at around £6,500 based on fees of 2% plus VAT. By selling to us, the fee is ZERO.
You’d also have solicitors fees to pay, which are typically around £1,500 per property. By selling to us, the solicitor fees are ZERO.
Plus, there are numerous costs involved with getting the property ready to sell, such as obtaining an EPC and repair costs. Not to mention, ongoing costs like utility bills and mortgage payments. By selling to us, you’ll be able to drop all those costs immediately.
Will you buy a property with tenants in situ? What if they are problem tenants?
Absolutely. We’re happy to buy properties that are vacant or have tenants in situ. And if they’re problem tenants then that’s fine, we’d still love to chat about taking the property off your hands.

We can finalise a purchase in as little as 14 days. However, we’re happy to move at a pace to suit you, so if you’d like the process to take longer then that’s fine by us.
