Busy landlords need more than a buyer — They need a team that delivers

A busy landlord in Kent had already accepted two offers through other estate agents. Both sales fell through when the buyers could not secure mortgages.

Months of waiting had brought her no closer to selling. Pulled in several directions, she did not have the time or energy to untangle the problems herself.

She needed more than another offer. She needed someone to take responsibility for getting the sale done.

That is why she turned to Landlord Sales Agency. We agreed a minimum of £105,000 for her, plus 90% of anything achieved above our estimated £120,000 value.

That guaranteed amount represented 87.5% of our estimated vacant possession value. The difference gave us room to fund the work, cover costs and solve the problems needed to deliver a faster, more reliable sale.

For this landlord, using some of her equity meant having an experienced team take the job off her hands – with an agreed amount protected for her.

Two failed sales gave us a head start on the problems

We began by finding out why the previous buyers had struggled. One lender had declined because the property was a basement flat. Another had requested information the freeholder could not supply.

Those were lessons we could use to prepare the next sale properly.

We secured a buyer and took their deposit in just over four weeks. When the lender then valued the flat below the agreed purchase price, we challenged the valuation with comparable sales and worked with the buyer and seller to find a way forward.

The lender valued the property at £115,000. The buyer agreed to pay £117,000 with vacant possession.

Our margin reduced. The seller’s agreed £105,000 did not.

Rather than leaving her to choose between taking another financial hit or starting again, we made the figures work within our own margin.

We protected the rental income while securing the next step

The buyer needed vacant possession, but moving the tenant before the mortgage position was clear could have left the seller with another failed sale – this time with an empty flat and no rent.

We obtained written confirmation from the lender that the mortgage could proceed before telling the tenant they would need to relocate.

As soon as we had that, we spoke directly to the tenant, offered practical and financial support funded from our margin, and stayed involved until her move was complete. We confirmed she had vacated and coordinated access for the buyer.

The seller did not have to manage the tenant’s move or fund that support separately. We took care of it as part of delivering the sale.

We kept the sale moving when the paperwork didn’t

Questions about ground rent, planned works, fire safety and building management all had the potential to hold things up.

We tracked down the answers, gathered the information, followed communication to make sure nothing was lost or misplaced and chased progress to ensure the sale would complete as fast as possible.

When a concern arose about the property’s condition, we established the cause and made sure it was rectified to everyone’s satisfaction.

These are the gaps where sales can stall or collapse while everyone waits for someone else to find the root of the problem before taking responsibility. We made it our business to close them.

After completion, the seller wrote:

“After trying with multiple estate agents, we finally tried Landlord Sales Agency! They sold the property first time and were helpful and professional throughout the sale. They were on top of it at all times and left me feeling in good hands with less stress! Would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting a straight forward sale of their property”

This is what your equity pays for

Busy landlords do not need another list of people to chase. They need a team with the contacts, experience and time to make things happen.

At Landlord Sales Agency, we reach buyers through our network of more than 30,000 investors and buyers, alongside local and nationwide agents. We arrange access, photographs and video tours, and work directly with tenants to make sales possible with them in situ or support a move where needed.

We secure buyers’ commitment with a non-refundable deposit, then manage the sale through to completion. We coordinate solicitors, lenders and surveyors, challenge delays and find practical solutions when problems threaten the deal.

Our service is funded from the agreed margin within the sale price, with no separate seller’s fee or commission. That margin pays for the work that helps turn an accepted offer into money in the bank.

You make the decision to sell. We take responsibility for making the sale work.
