Sell Property Portfolio

Frequently Asked Questions

We have included some our most popular FAQs below, but don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team for further assistance.

How quickly can Property Portfolio Investors complete a sale?

We know that speed matters when selling a portfolio. Because we purchase directly using our own funds, we can complete in as little as seven days when required. More complex transactions involving multiple titles or properties held in a company may take slightly longer, but our experienced team ensures the process remains efficient from start to finish. Whether you need a fast completion or are working to a planned timescale, we adapt our service to suit your requirements.

Do you buy both residential and commercial portfolios?

Yes. We purchase residential buy to let properties, houses in multiple occupation, mixed use portfolios, and commercial investments including offices, retail units, and industrial premises. Our team understands how to accurately value and complete on portfolios of all sizes, whether they are fully tenanted, partly vacant, in need of refurbishment, or generating complex rental income streams.

Can you buy properties owned in a limited company or SPV?

Yes. If your portfolio is held in a limited company or Special Purpose Vehicle, we can purchase either the individual properties or the company shares. This flexibility can offer tax and Stamp Duty advantages. We work closely with your accountant and solicitor to ensure the structure of the sale works in your best interest.

Will I get a fair offer for my portfolio?

Our offers are based on real market data, rental yield performance, and the unique qualities of your portfolio. We provide genuine figures from the outset and do not reduce our offers after surveys. Because we buy directly with cash, there are no agents, no middle parties, and no hidden fees. The price we agree is the price you will receive.

Do you charge any commission or legal fees?

No. Selling to us is completely free. We cover all legal fees and there is no commission to pay. The figure we agree is the exact amount you will receive upon completion.

Do you buy portfolios that already have tenants?

Yes. We frequently purchase portfolios with tenants in place. This means you do not need to end tenancies or disrupt existing agreements. Keeping tenants in place often makes the process smoother and ensures rental income continues until completion.

Can you buy properties in any condition?

Yes. From recently renovated properties to those requiring major works, we purchase portfolios in any condition. Even if properties need compliance updates such as improved Energy Performance Certificate ratings or are mid refurbishment, we can still make a cash offer.

What happens once I accept your offer?

Once you accept our offer, we take care of everything. Our team works directly with your solicitor, organises the legal paperwork, and ensures funds are transferred securely on the agreed completion date. We keep you updated at every stage and because we buy with our own funds, there is no risk of delays caused by mortgage approvals or property chains.

Why are so many landlords selling their portfolios now?

Since 2017, changes to tax rules and rental regulations have made property investment more challenging for some landlords. These changes include reduced mortgage interest tax relief, a three per cent Stamp Duty surcharge on additional properties, changes to wear and tear allowances, and the introduction of the Tenant Fees Act. For landlords with high borrowing levels, rising interest rates have also reduced profitability. Other common reasons for selling include retirement, a change in career direction, or relocating overseas. Selling to a professional cash buyer can provide a faster and more certain exit compared to traditional methods.

Do you buy part portfolios as well as entire portfolios?

Yes. You can choose to sell your entire portfolio or just selected properties. This can be a strategic way to release capital while retaining some income generating assets.

How do you value a property portfolio?

We take a full view of your portfolio, looking at rental income, tenancy agreements, location, property condition, and current market data. We also assess potential yield improvements and any opportunities for development or asset management. This approach allows us to provide an offer that reflects the investment value, not just the sum of individual property prices.

Do you buy portfolios anywhere in the UK?

Yes. We purchase property portfolios throughout the United Kingdom, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, as well as smaller towns and rural areas. Our funding and network allow us to complete transactions quickly regardless of location.

Can I sell if some properties have disputes or rent arrears?

In most cases, yes. We review these situations individually and can work with you to resolve outstanding issues as part of the sale. Our experience in complex transactions means these matters rarely stop us from moving forward.

How do buyers calculate the value of a property portfolio?

Buyers often use a combination of methods. For residential portfolios, they may assess the individual market value of each property and then apply an adjustment based on yield performance and the bulk nature of the sale. For commercial portfolios, an income capitalisation approach is common, where the net rental income is divided by a market yield rate to determine value.

Key Considerations Before Selling Your Property Portfolio

1. Selling as a Portfolio vs. Selling Multiple Properties Individually

One of the first steps is deciding whether to sell your properties together as a full portfolio or individually.

Selling as a portfolio offers speed and convenience, with interest from serious cash-ready investors who prefer buying in bulk.

Selling multiple properties individually might take a bit more time but could help you maximise the value of each property by attracting a wider mix of buyers.

We can help you explore both options and guide you towards the most profitable outcome.

2. Tax Considerations

Understanding the tax side of things is important, especially when it comes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT).

The good news? You may be entitled to reliefs or exemptions that reduce your liability — and if you’re unsure, we can connect you with trusted tax specialists who can walk you through everything with ease.

Our aim is to make sure you keep more of your profit.

3. Income Generating and Yield

Your current rental income can be a strong selling point.

A well performing portfolio with stable, consistent income is very appealing to investors. We recommend reviewing your rental rates to make sure they’re in line with the market and if needed, we can help with that too.

The stronger your rental return, the more attractive your portfolio becomes.

4. Property Condition and Legal Compliance

Properties that are clean, compliant, a good EPC rating and well-kept naturally command more interest and better offers.

If a few touch-ups or paperwork updates are needed, we’ll let you know, but don’t worry, we buy in all conditions.

Our goal is to make the process simple, even if your properties aren’t in perfect shape.

5. Tenant Stability

Long-term tenants with a history of reliable payments make your portfolio more desirable to buyers looking for steady returns.

If your portfolio includes stable tenants, you’re already ahead and if not, we’re still happy to make you a fair cash offer.

Whatever your situation, there’s a solution that works for you.

6. Ownership Structure: SPV, Company or Personal

Whether you own your properties personally or through a limited company, we can tailor the sale to suit your setup.

You can choose to sell individual properties or, if held in a company, sell the shares, both options have pros and cons, and we’re happy to talk them through with you in plain terms.

We make sure the sale structure works in your best interest.

7. Legal and Financial Costs

Selling a portfolio doesn’t have to come with hefty costs or complex processes.

We cover all legal fees, saving you thousands and there are no agent commissions or hidden charges.

What you’re offered is what you receive, with full transparency from day one.
