If you want out of your rental property, you no longer need vacant possession to sell. We work with landlords across the North West to find the right exit — whether that's a cash purchase, a lease option, or another structured route. No eviction required.
The Renters' Rights Act came into force 1 May 2026. Section 21 no-fault evictions are abolished. Landlords seeking to sell with vacant possession must now serve at least 4 months' notice — and if the tenant doesn't leave, face court proceedings with unpredictable timelines. Many landlords are finding this process takes 6–12 months or longer.
The old route — serve a Section 21, wait two months, sell empty — no longer exists. What used to take 8 weeks now involves legal grounds, longer notice periods, and potentially an overloaded court system. Here's what the two paths look like.
Now requires serving notice under a valid legal ground, waiting the full period, and applying to court if the tenant remains. You also cannot re-let for 12 months after using the "intent to sell" ground.
No eviction. No court. No void period. We structure the right exit for your situation — cash purchase, lease option, or investor introduction — with your tenant in place. You receive rent right up until the deal completes.
Every landlord situation is different. Some suit a straight cash purchase. Others work better as a lease option or investor introduction. Gary will tell you honestly which route fits yours — and handle it from there. No call centres, no middlemen.
Call or email Gary directly. Explain your situation — tenancy details, what you're looking to achieve, your timeline. No script. No obligation. Just an honest conversation with someone who has 25 years of NW property experience.

One call is all it takes to know your options
There's no awkward situation we haven't seen. If you have a tenanted property in the North West and want a clean exit, call Gary — he'll tell you honestly what's possible.
You don't need them to. We structure exits with the tenant in situ — no eviction, no court, no delay.
Legislation, compliance, maintenance, voids. If you've had enough, we can structure a clean exit without the hassle of a traditional sale.
Structural issues, short lease, non-standard construction. We consider properties that mainstream buyers and lenders won't touch.
Looking to offload one or more BTL properties quickly? We handle single properties or small portfolios — same straightforward process.
Rate rises, tax changes, portfolio refinancing requirements — if the numbers no longer work, a fast structured exit can resolve it cleanly.
Inherited a rental property and don't want to manage it? We can work directly with the estate or beneficiaries to find a clean route out.
Every option is on the table. Here's what each one actually involves for a landlord with a sitting tenant in 2026.
