Home/Portfolio Landlords
Portfolio Landlords
Five houses or fifty: every route, side by side.
Whether you are selling up, scaling down or handing over the day to day, here is how the main routes compare — what each one means for price, speed and effort — and where we fit.
The Routes
The routes, compared.
No single route is right for every portfolio. Most landlords end up using two or three of them across different properties.
| Route | What happens | Price and speed | Where we fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keep it, we manage it | The property is run as serviced accommodation; you keep the asset | You keep the value; income depends on bookings | Full management from 20% of booking revenue |
| Let it to us | A company let agreement with us as lessee | A fixed monthly sum, occupied or not | We are the lessee; the void risk is ours |
| Partial exit | Keep the strongest properties, move the rest | Depends on the mix | Management or a company let on what you keep |
| Quiet sale, tenants in place | Introductions to investors on our list | Below open market value, in exchange for speed and certainty | No fee to you; the buyer pays our fee |
| Open-market sale | An estate agent markets each property | Usually the best price, over a longer timescale | An agent handles this |
| Auction | A fixed date and a binding sale on the day | Speed and certainty, with a reserve-price risk and fees | An auction house handles this |
Where price matters most, a local estate agent is usually the right route. Where time, certainty or keeping the asset matters more, the first four rows are worth a conversation.
The Context
Why so many portfolios are being reviewed.
The Renters' Rights Act changes, including the end of section 21 on 1 May 2026, have changed the long-let model for many landlords. Some are selling, some are moving properties to other uses and some are handing over the day-to-day. Each property in a portfolio can take a different route.
- Tenanted property suits the quiet-sale route as it is
- Vacant property can go on a company let or under management
- A portfolio can be split between routes, property by property
- Take your own tax advice before any sale; the right order of disposals can matter

Your Questions
Portfolios, answered.
Can I split my portfolio between the routes?
Yes and most landlords do. You might keep your best two properties under management, let one to us and register the rest for a quiet sale.
Can you take properties that are tenanted?
Tenanted properties suit the quiet-sale route as they are. For management or a company let we need vacant possession, so those properties come in once they are empty.
How does a quiet sale price compare with the open market?
Investors on our list buy below open market value in exchange for speed and certainty. If the highest price matters most, an estate agent is the better route.
Do you charge me to sell?
No. The buyer pays our fee and you will know the amount before you agree to anything.
