Do I sell up and leave the PRS?

Hi, I’m a one rental property owner, a lovely 3 bedroom semi, rendered to EPC C with an allotment and large gardens based in Yeadon, Leeds.
I own it outright and have done for 7 years, it returns £900 per month.
I’ve a feeling it’s reached it’s full price potential and will need a new kitchen/bathroom in the next 5 years so should I jump and sell before the new regulations kick in?
My current tenants aren’t the easiest and I feel they will probably abuse the new system.
I’m 58, own my house, have a decent pension etc, so what am I best doing with the hopefully £200k + I get from the house sale? Stick half in my pension and invest the rest in ISAs?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Tim

Sell. Get your £200k if possible and leave the property investment. There are ISAs, stocks and shares, pensions (SIPPS).
If your tenants may cause issues, it may be better to give S21 form 6A before 30th April if they are on periodic tenancy or end date is approaching before the end of July.
No mortgage – good.
Selling can be daunting. If it does not sell, a choice of renting again rather tahn wait a year as that is what LL’s will need to do if notice given after 30th April and 4 months notice on the termination date.
