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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

No — and following the abolition of Section 21 in May 2026, vacant possession is now harder to obtain than it has ever been. Section 21 no-fault evictions no longer exist. Ground 1A allows a landlord to seek possession for the purpose of selling, but it requires 4 months’ written notice, the tenant must have been in the property for at least 12 months, and possession is not guaranteed if contested. We buy with tenants in place. The tenancy transfers to us on completion on the same terms. No notice required, no proceedings, no wait.
We buy with sitting tenants regardless of the tenancy situation. We deal with any arrears or issues ourselves after completion. This is often the main reason landlords come to us.
Yes. HMOs have specific licensing and compliance requirements which we review as part of the purchase. Call us to discuss the specifics of your property.
Either. Some landlords want to sell everything in one go; others want to sell specific properties while retaining others. Tell us what you want to sell and we’ll assess it.
We take into account the current rental income, the tenancy terms, the condition of the property and comparable sales in the area. A well-managed tenanted property with strong yield can support a good offer.
