Landlords with £200K properties selling faster than anyone else

As this week’s news reported that UK rents were falling again in a “rental market cool,” the number of landlords looking to sell continued to increase.

The latest HomeLet Rental Index revealed that the average UK rent had slowed down by 1.1% in January 2026. Whilst the figures might not seem much, London in particular saw the biggest drop, down 2.4% on the previous month. That’s the weakest annual growth of any UK region. Coupled with the Renters’ Rights Act quickly approaching, plus new tax penalties and stringent regulations, landlords have been in dire need of some good news.

It’s a welcome relief, therefore, to see that a particular group of landlords are benefitting from the current climate.

For landlords wanting to sell properties valued at £200k, particularly those in the North West or Midlands, motivated sellers have been driving prices up, allowing them to exit the market unscathed. While other distressed landlords wait with offers as low as 70% market value, or unrealistic valuations delaying sales, the £200K landlords have been securing chain free buyers for 85 – 90% market value. A substantial percentage higher sale price than their counterparts.

They’ve also been approaching the right people to sell. At Landlord Sales Agency we specialise in selling tenanted, recently vacated and soon-to-be vacant properties in a way that’s realistic, well-managed and designed to complete. Whilst we can sell in any area, we also understand that the landlords currently achieving the highest sale prices have three things in common: location, motivation and a realistic listing price.

In part, that’s driven by the fact that for properties around £200K, there’s simply more buyer options for your rental houses, you’ll likely either sell to a new landlord buyer, or a first-time buyer wanting it as a residential home. That’s first-time buyers and investors both chasing the properties.

Added to that is the fact that unlike traditional estate agents or fast sale companies, we ensure that every landlord that approaches us to sell has the biggest bite of the cherry. With an extensive database of over 30,000 active buyers, access to property buying funds and relationships with the top local performing agents, we’ve got no shortage of buyers. In fact, with so many buyers on our books, we’re finding an increase of buyers chasing us because they’re hungry to move in, as well as new landlords who don’t mind taking on the high risks, high stakes industry most of us are more than happy to leave behind.

The result is that landlords in this price bracket are steaming ahead of any other landlords wanting to sell. And Landlord Sales Agency are delivering. On average all our properties are selling in less than 28 days.

With a team of portfolio exit specialists exceptionally equipped to manage tenants, access and compliance, we’re also completely transparent. We don’t promise the highest price at any cost. We don’t sign you up for unrealistic values that leave your properties sitting on the market for months, even years. We focus on the best achievable price that actually completes. And it works.

In the last week alone, we managed over 60 landlords approaching us with properties to sell, and we’re ready to take on more.

So if you’re a landlord with a property or properties around the £200K mark, get in touch.

There’s an opportunity to be had, and we’re ready to help you take it.
