Selling a property with problem tenants
Difficult tenants are one of the most stressful things a landlord can face. We buy tenanted properties, including those with arrears, ongoing disputes, or active eviction proceedings.

Most buyers and virtually all mortgage lenders won't touch a property where a tenant is in arrears, causing damage, refusing access, or subject to eviction proceedings. This leaves many landlords stuck, unable to sell and continuing to lose money every month.
We're experienced with these situations and can make you a fair offer regardless of the tenant's behaviour or legal status.
Situations we can help with
- Tenants in significant rent arrears
- Anti-social behaviour or property damage
- Active Section 8 or Section 21 proceedings
- Tenants refusing access for viewings or inspections
- Multiple occupancy properties with complex tenancies
- Unlicensed HMOs
- Properties with squatters
Do the tenants need to leave before you buy?
Not necessarily. We can buy the property with the tenants still in situ. We'll factor the tenancy situation into our offer. If you'd prefer the tenants to vacate first, we can wait for eviction proceedings to conclude, but this isn't required.
Will the tenants know the property is being sold?
Depending on the tenancy type, you may have a legal obligation to notify tenants of a sale. Your solicitor will advise. We keep all dealings professional and discreet.
