WhatsApp Ron⚠ Important: Renters’ Rights Act Changes — From 1 May 2026
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 comes into force on 1 May 2026, fundamentally changing how landlords can recover possession of their properties. Navigating these changes can be complex and stressful. The changes most relevant to landlords wanting to sell are:
No More “No-Fault” Evictions
Section 21 notices are abolished from 1 May 2026. Landlords can no longer ask a tenant to leave without giving a specific legal reason.
All Tenancies Become Rolling (Periodic)
From 1 May 2026, all ASTs automatically become Assured Periodic Tenancies. Fixed end dates no longer apply. “AST” as a term is abolished.
To Sell, You Need Ground 1A
If you need vacant possession to sell, you must serve a Section 8 notice under Ground 1A — requiring 4 months’ notice. The tenancy must also have been running for at least 12 months before you can use this ground.
Court Action If They Don’t Leave
If the tenant doesn’t leave after the notice period, you must apply to court using the new prescribed forms. Court timelines add further months to the process.
The alternative: Sell to us with your tenants in place. No notice required, no court, no months of waiting. We handle the transfer of all landlord obligations as part of the sale.
Under the new Renters’ Rights Act, gaining vacant possession before selling could take 6 months or more — often longer. Selling with tenants in situ avoids the entire process.
No Notice PeriodUnder the new rules, getting vacant possession requires 4 months’ Section 8 notice under Ground 1A, then court proceedings if the tenant doesn’t leave. We buy around the tenancy — no notice needed.
No Void Period CostsWaiting for a property to become vacant means months of no rental income, plus continued mortgage, insurance and maintenance costs. Sell now and avoid all of that.
Rental Income MaintainedYou continue to receive rental income right up to the completion date. No gap in income, no void period, no empty property costs.
Tenants Stay PutYour tenants’ lives are not disrupted. Their tenancy can continue uninterrupted under our ownership.
Any Tenancy TypeAssured Periodic Tenancy (formerly AST), periodic, HMO, fixed term still running. We buy with any tenancy arrangement in place and handle the legal transfer of all landlord obligations.
Faster SaleNo waiting for vacant possession before you can sell. We make a cash offer and complete — typically in 28 days, sometimes less.

Not All Cash Buyers Are the Same. Here’s the Evidence.
When you need a clean sale of a tenanted property, the last thing you need is a buyer who chips the offer or uses the tenancy as an excuse to renegotiate. Late-stage price drops, hidden fees, lock-in agreements — here’s what national buyers don’t put on their own websites.
