Swansea,

It is not a case of what is better or worse, it is more to do with what is right for you. Selling a property with tenants in Swansea means the buyer inherits the current rental income each month, making it attractive to some buyers looking for investment properties. However, if the property is in poor condition or has been neglected by the tenants, it may be easier to sell without tenants, as it would allow the new owner to renovate the property before renting or selling it.

Additionally, if tenants are cooperative and allow prospective buyers to view the property, it may be easier to sell with tenants. Ultimately, the decision depends on individual circumstances and priorities.

Sometimes landlords have problem tenants or the property may have been damaged and getting into renovation can be a problem, thanks to certain rights tenants have a quiet life. Sometimes the easiest thing for a landlord to do is to sell with tenants in situ to cash house buyers, who can take on the property and tenants in as little as 7 days.

Some investors prefer buying houses or properties with tenants as this saves them from having to advertise for new tenants once the property has been purchased, which can help speed up the sale. Plus, with tenants in situ, as soon as the house is transferred over the new owner immediately benefits from the rental income without loss of earnings.

With any home sale, there are usually associated costs such as estate agent fees, commissions, legal fees and surveys. To sell a home in the UK can be quite costly, even more so with tenants as property owners need to give adequate notice of sale and this can cause a lot of stress all round.

These reasons are why sales to cash house buyers like We Buy Any Home are increasing, as we have no hidden fees and guarantee a sale in as little as 7 days.

Yes, you can. We buy tenanted properties all across Swansea and Wales, and often we continue to rent them out to the same tenants. Only in some cases do we look to sell the property. We can even take on problem tenants and property that has been damaged without them needing to be renovated first.  

Most lease contracts include a clause specifying the duration of advance notice landlords must provide tenants regarding the property’s sale and termination of the agreement. The duration can vary from the standard 60 days, depending on the contractual terms. Make sure you check your lease before you try to sell.

Remember we can buy homes with tenants in situ so if you need a quick and guaranteed sale we can help.

Yes, you can sell your house with tenants in it in the UK – we often buy properties from landlords who do not want to evict tenants before selling it themselves. However, you need to ensure that you follow the correct procedures, as the tenants have legal rights that must be considered. 

As a landlord, you are legally required to tell your tenants in writing that you want to sell the property and you should provide them with at least 24 hours notice before arranging any viewings. This, and many other obligations can make selling a tenanted property in Swansea difficult. Add on top of all the fees and it can be quite stressful and expensive. Leave all this to We Buy Any Home when you sell and enjoy a stress-free sale.

If a landlord decides to sell a property while it is still being rented out, they can do so by serving the tenants a Section 21 notice. This process allows the landlord to evict the tenants without needing to provide a specific reason, which is known as a no-fault eviction. The notice period must be at least two months before the eviction can take place, and this rule applies to assured shorthold tenancy agreements (AST) – the most common type of rental contract.

The reasons for the landlord selling could vary, such as wanting to move back into the property or simply selling it for financial gain.
