• What Are The Benefits Of Selling The Property Whilst It’s Tenanted?
  There are a number of key reasons why you should consider selling your buy to let property with the tenants in situ, the key one being that you have the opportunity to generate rental income right up to completion. You also avoid additional monthly expenses including utility bills and council tax, all of which are payable on a vacant property. Assuming that the average sale takes 4.2 months (Source: The Advisory ‘Time To Sell’ Study), it’s easy to see how these costs can easily start to add up.

• How Do You Work With My Tenants?
  We’ve found that the key to a successful sale is to work with your tenant in an open, honest and transparent manner. Throughout the process, we will be respectful of the requirements and rights of your tenant to ensure a smooth and seamless transition through to completion. From the outset, we will explain that we work solely with landlords, with a view to selling them a property with a tenant in situ. A good quality tenant is a positive for both the landlord and the tenant, and open and honest communication with all parties from the beginning of the process is crucial to achieving a successful sale.
• Can You Manage My Property If I Purchase It Through You?
  Absolutely, and we currently have over 130 lettings properties under our management throughout the Greater Manchester region. You can found out more details on our lettings and property management offering here:
• I Already Have A Good Lettings Agent Managing The Property. Will You Be Looking To Change This?
  No, as above the key here is honest and transparent communication from the outset. The key objective for our landlords is to purchase a property which is managed and already generating a rental income. As such, we’re happy to include the information from your existing agents to present a more managed investment option. We actually work closely with many specialist letting agents throughout the country, and where there is an established relationship in place, then we look to work in conjunction with the incumbent lettings agent to ensure a smooth and seamless transition over to the new ownership.
