I’ve been working with landlords for years, and if there’s one thing I’ve noticed recently, it’s this: demand for blocks of six or more properties has skyrocketed. We’ve seen a spike in enquiries of buyers wanting to buy several properties at once to kick-start their portfolios.
These aren’t old landlords, they’re new landlords with fresh investment and property buying companies looking to add to their corporate portfolios. What does this mean? What it means is that if you’re a landlord who’s been in the business for a while, and wants to shift your properties, this could be the ideal time to tap into that demand.
We’re not just talking a few buyer enquiries, my network of 30,000+ buyers are actively seeking them right now. What’s more, they’re keen to make the purchases before the year end.
So if you’re looking to sell, and you want to connect directly to serious buyers looking to purchase properties like yours, you’ll want to read on.
Why Six Properties? The SDLT Advantage for Investors
If you’re a landlord, you’re likely all too familiar with Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). It’s a significant upfront cost for buyers, especially in buy-to-let. But here’s something many landlords don’t realise: for SDLT purposes, buying six or more properties in a single transaction qualifies as a non-residential purchase. This is a big deal because non-residential SDLT rates are far lower than residential ones.
Here’s how it breaks down:
This is a huge motivator for investors who want to avoid the high residential SDLT rates, which can go up to 15% with the recent 5% surcharge on buy-to-let properties. For landlords selling a portfolio or a block of six or more properties, this creates a win-win situation: investors get a favourable tax treatment, and you can sell your properties quickly and efficiently. That’s where we come in.
What My Buyers Are Looking For
At Landlord Sales Agency, I have over 30,000 active buyers on my list, many of which are specifically looking for portfolios or blocks of properties. These are serious investors with the funds ready to go, and they’re looking to take advantage of the SDLT savings that come with buying six or more properties at once. They’re not just browsing—they’re genuinely interested in snapping up blocks of properties to grow their portfolios. And because they understand the SDLT benefits, they’re often willing to move quickly on the right deals. In fact, on average, all our sales have been completing in just 28 days.
When you work with me at Landlord Sales Agency, you’re tapping directly into that buyer pool. I match landlords with qualified buyers who are ready to act, so you can avoid the hassle of listing properties individually and dealing with the ups and downs of the market.
The Benefits of Selling Six or More Properties in One Go
Selling a block of properties or a portfolio can be an absolute game-changer for landlords:
What’s more, selling six properties at a time through us means you don’t have to worry about dealing with multiple individual buyers or dealing with the delays that come with traditional property sales. With my help, you get direct access to a pool of serious investors who are already motivated to buy.
Why Now is the Time to Sell
There’s no denying that now is the time to consider this strategy. The demand for blocks of six or more properties is at an all-time high, and my buyers are ready to take action. With rising regulations and increased costs, it’s never been more important to make sure you’re getting the best possible deal for your properties—and selling as a block could be the answer.
