Many landlords never planned to become landlords. Others built portfolios during very different market conditions. Today, rising regulation, increased costs, and shrinking margins are leading both accidental landlords and experienced portfolio owners to reassess whether holding rental property still makes sense.

At Jeffries Property Buyers, we help landlords exit cleanly, discreetly, and without stress — whether that’s a single rental property or a full buy-to-let portfolio.

The Reality Facing Landlords Today

The rental landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Many landlords now face:

  • Increasing compliance and safety regulations
  • EPC and energy efficiency requirements
  • Rising mortgage interest rates
  • Higher taxation and reduced relief
  • Ongoing maintenance and management costs
  • Difficult tenant situations or void periods
  • Reduced profitability versus risk

For some, the numbers no longer stack up. For others, the time, stress, and responsibility outweigh the returns.

Accidental Landlords – You’re Not Alone

Accidental landlords often find themselves owning rental property due to:

  • Inheriting a property
  • Moving for work or personal reasons
  • Difficulty selling at the time of purchase
  • Relationship breakdowns
  • Temporary “let it for now” decisions that became long-term

What starts as a short-term solution can quickly turn into a long-term obligation with legal and financial exposure.

If managing a rental property was never part of your plan, selling may offer clarity and relief.

Selling Investment Properties Without the Stress

We purchase rental properties directly, meaning:

  • No estate agents
  • No open-market viewings
  • No chains or mortgage delays
  • No need to refurbish or modernise

We can buy properties that are:

  • Tenanted (with tenants in situ)
  • Vacant
  • In poor condition
  • Part of a wider landlord portfolio

Landlord Portfolio Sales – A Clean Exit Strategy

For landlords with multiple properties, selling individually can be time-consuming and inefficient. We offer a portfolio-aware approach, allowing you to:

  • Sell multiple properties together or in stages
  • Reduce exposure quickly
  • Simplify tax and financial planning
  • Avoid months (or years) of staggered disposals

We regularly work with:

  • Private landlords
  • Limited company landlords
  • Executors and family trusts
  • Advisors and solicitors

Our process is designed to minimise disruption and maximise certainty.

Tenants in Situ? No Problem.

Selling on the open market with tenants in place can be difficult. We regularly purchase properties with tenants in situ, avoiding:

  • Eviction processes
  • Notice periods
  • Legal disputes
  • Loss of rental income during sale

This is often the most practical solution for landlords who want to exit responsibly without unsettling tenants.

Our Straightforward Process

  1. Initial conversation – Discuss your property or portfolio
  2. Assessment – Clear, realistic evaluation
  3. Offer – Transparent and not subject to finance
  4. Flexible timescale – To suit you and any tenants
  5. Completion via solicitors – Smooth and compliant

We adapt the process around your situation — not the other way round.
