Renters’ Rights Act — What It Means for Landlords Who Want to Sell Section 21 Is Gone. Your Options Have Changed.
🚫
Section 21 Abolished

From 1 May 2026, no-fault evictions under Section 21 no longer exist. The traditional landlord exit route — serve notice, wait for vacant possession, then sell on the open market — is gone.

📄
Ground 1A: What’s Available

Landlords who want vacant possession to sell can use Ground 1A, but it requires 4 months’ written notice, the tenant must have been in the property for at least 12 months, and the landlord must demonstrate genuine intent to sell.

Ground 1A: What It Really Means

Even using Ground 1A, possession is not guaranteed. Tenants can contest the notice. Court timelines have lengthened significantly. For many landlords, the realistic wait for vacant possession is now 6–12+ months — if successful at all.

The Jeffries Route

We buy with tenants in situ. No notice required. No court proceedings. No wait for vacant possession. The tenancy transfers directly to us on completion. You receive your proceeds without any delay caused by the RRA.

The information above reflects the Renters’ Rights Act as enacted. The abolition of Section 21 is the most significant change to landlord exit routes in a generation. If you are considering selling, we strongly recommend taking independent legal advice from a specialist landlord solicitor on your specific circumstances.

Why Landlords Sell to Jeffries Every Landlord’s Situation Is Different. Here Are the Most Common.

Rising interest rates, the abolition of Section 21, tax changes and compliance pressure have pushed more landlords to sell. We offer a fast, private exit whatever your reason.

Inherited a Property with TenantsYou’ve inherited a property you didn’t ask for, and it comes with sitting tenants. We buy it exactly as it is — no notice required, no vacancy needed, no delay.
Rising Costs Making It UnviableMortgage rate rises, Section 24 tax changes and increased compliance costs have made many buy-to-lets uneconomical. A clean sale may be the right move.
Difficult Tenancy SituationRent arrears or anti-social behaviour are grounds for possession proceedings, but they are slow and contested. We buy with the tenancy in place and deal with the situation ourselves after completion.
Exiting the Rental MarketAfter years as a landlord, you’re ready to release the capital and step away. With S21 gone, a direct sale is the most straightforward exit. We buy one property or an entire portfolio.
Relocating or RetiringMoving away from the area or retiring and wanting to simplify. A clean, fast portfolio sale achieves that — without serving notice or waiting months for vacant possession.
Compliance PressureEPC requirements, HMO licensing, electrical safety certificates — the compliance burden has grown significantly. A sale removes it all overnight.
Portfolio Sales One Transaction. However Many Properties.

Managing multiple individual sales is time-consuming, expensive and uncertain. We buy entire portfolios in a single transaction — one negotiation, one legal process, one completion.

All properties purchased togetherWe buy the whole portfolio at once — you don’t need to manage separate sales for each property.
Tenants don’t need to leaveEvery property can be sold with tenants in situ. No notice required, no eviction proceedings, no void periods.
One legal process, one set of feesA single conveyancing transaction covering all properties in the portfolio.
Flexible on mix of property typesResidential, HMO, commercial — we consider mixed portfolios and deal with whatever’s in them.

Section 21 Is Gone. The Exit Route Has Changed.

The traditional approach — serve S21, wait for possession, then sell — no longer exists. Ground 1A provides a route for landlords who want to sell, but it carries conditions, takes months, and is not guaranteed.

Selling to us requires none of that. We buy with tenants in place. One call to Ron is enough to understand exactly what your property is worth and how quickly we can complete.

From the Knowledge Centre Not All Cash Buyers Are the Same. Here’s the Evidence. Section 21 is gone and the exit route has changed. Before choosing a buyer, it’s worth knowing what national cash buying companies do that they don’t advertise — late price drops, lock-in agreements, and hidden fees.
