What’s Changing 
for Landlords?

The rental market has shifted—and landlords are feeling the pressure. From the proposed Renters Reform Bill to higher mortgage rates and reduced tax relief, the rental market in the UK is more challenging than ever.

Key changes include:

  • The upcoming abolition of Section 21 ‘no-fault’ evictions
  • Plans for open-ended tenancies, reducing landlord flexibility
  • Stricter grounds required to end a tenancy under revised Section 8 rules
  • Rising maintenance costs and potential new EPC regulations

With uncertainty ahead, many landlords are choosing to exit now,
before the changes come into force.

If you’re one of them, we can help you sell quickly and with peace of mind.

Any House Wanted - Your Options

What’s Changing 
for Landlords?

You can sell your rental property with tenants in situ or as 
vacant possession. 

A tenanted sale may suit some landlords, while a vacant property appeals to a wider market—including residential buyers.

We buy properties in both situations, giving you a fast and flexible route to a guaranteed sale.

Let’s talk

Selling with Tenants in Situ

Selling with tenants still living in the property means you’ll continue earning rent, but your buyer pool may be smaller, usually limited to other landlords.

Pros

  • Rental income continues until completion
  • No need to serve notice

Challenges

  • Buyer must be willing to take on the tenancy
  • Viewings must be coordinated respectfully
  • Tenants may leave mid-process, which can affect your sale

Let’s talk

Legal advice is often needed when issuing Section 21 or Section 8 notices. With upcoming
legal changes, this could become more complicated.

Is it good to sell rental property?
Sell rental property with vacant possession

Selling with

Vacant Possession

If you give your tenants notice and sell the property empty, it can appeal to a broader range of buyers. 
But it also means you’ll need to cover any void period costs (mortgage, council tax, bills) until it sells.


As a cash buyer, we remove those concerns. We can complete in days, not months, and buy properties in any condition.

What About Capital

Gains Tax (CGT)?

Selling an investment property can trigger Capital Gains Tax. The rate you pay depends on your income—either 18% or 24%—and applies to the profit made from the sale.

You may be able to reduce this through reliefs like Private Residence Relief or by offsetting certain expenses. We always recommend speaking with a tax adviser before selling.

Real people. Real results.

They made the whole process easy
"I was getting frustrated trying to sell my flat in Ealing - 3 different buyers that didn’t proceed for various reasons. I contacted Any House Wanted, who made me an instant offer. They informed me at the outset that the offer will be less than the market value - but I had no fees to pay and there wasn’t much price difference in the end, once you deduct estate agents and solicitors fees etc. They made the whole process easy. I would use them again and definitely recommend. Thanks very much guys!"
- Simmy
West Ealing, London
They did exactly as they promised
"I would definitely use Any House wanted if I was selling my house again. They did exactly as they promised, took all the hassle from us. I was pleasantly surprised with the price they paid in the end, considerably more than 2 other companies we approached, and they seemed much more sincere than anyone else."
- Sammie
We are forever grateful
"We contacted Any House Wanted after seeing the advertisement on TV on the Monday. The bailiffs were due to repossess our family home on the Thursday. The team were very prompt, caring and understanding. We are forever grateful to Any House Wanted and I would personally recommend them 100%."
- Mr Rawlings
The whole process went through smoothly
"It had been a worry for a long time, trying to make ends meet, whilst I had a smallish mortgage, it seemed to soak up all my money. I simply sold my maisonette to Any House Wanted which released the cash. The girls at the office were very kind and the whole process went through smoothly."
- Mr Robins
Headingley, Yorkshire
We were very pleased with the service
"After falling in arrears with our mortgage, we contacted Any House Wanted to purchase our house. They completed the transaction to suit our timescale, enabling us to purchase our mobile home. We were very pleased with the service we received from Any House Wanted and found them to be efficient when we dealt with them. We can highly recommend them."
- Mr O’Conner
Coventry, West Midlands
We are now well settled in our new home
"My wife and I had lived in our house for just over 30 years. It had been a happy family home, but it was too large for just the two of us. We were both in our seventies and not in the best of health. We were offered Sheltered Accommodation and Any House Wanted brought our house as we were worried that houses around us did not seem to be selling, and we would have been left trying to cope with two houses which we could not afford. All the details of the transaction went smoothly and we are now well settled in our new home."
- Mr & Mrs Cunningham
Hayes, London
