If you’re a landlord in Paisley thinking about selling your rental property, you’re not alone. With changing legislation, tax updates, and shifts in the rental market, many landlords are reviewing their portfolios.
But selling doesn’t have to mean evicting your tenant and losing income during the process. At Martin & Co Paisley, we specialise in selling tenanted properties to active buy-to-let investors.
Here’s how you can sell your property with the tenant in place – and why it could be the smart, seamless exit strategy you’ve been looking for.
Why landlords are selling up
The private rental sector has seen plenty of change in recent years. Some of the most common reasons landlords are exiting include:
- Increased mortgage rates, factoring fees and insurance costs affecting profits
- Legislative changes with a new housing bill currently going through the Scottish Parliament that includes Rent Controls.
- Desire to free up equity or reduce portfolio size
- Retirement or a change in personal circumstances
Whatever your reason, exiting doesn’t need to be stressful – especially when you have a property with a reliable tenant in place.
Why sell with a tenant in place?
There are multiple advantages to selling your buy-to-let as is – including:
- No rental void: You continue earning income until completion
- Appeals to investors: Many landlords prefer a tenanted property – it saves them time and marketing costs
- Minimised disruption: No need to serve notice or displace tenants
- Quicker sale: We connect with investors who are already looking for properties like yours
- Far lesser ‘Sales’ costs, less marketing, no viewings, no photos and no commission just a flat fee.
We often work with serious, cash-ready investors who understand the benefits of long-term tenancies and want to add to their portfolio without delay.
How it works
When you list with Martin & Co Paisley, we:
- Value your property based on rental income, tenant history, and market demand
- Market it directly to our network of pre-qualified investors
- Handle all viewings, negotiations, and paperwork discreetly and efficiently
Your tenants can stay in place with minimal interruption. And we’ll work closely with both parties to ensure a smooth transaction.
What makes a good tenanted sale?
To attract investor interest, it helps if your property has:
- A good rental yield
- A well-maintained condition
- A compliant tenancy (e.g. deposit protected, safety certificates in place)
- A reliable tenant with a clear payment history
If you’re not sure your property ticks all the boxes, don’t worry – we’ll guide you through any actions needed before listing.
