FP TV EP 134: SELLING YOUR RENTAL HOME: Plan the perfect exit without losing your tenant or income.

Although rents are going through the roof, yields are getting higher, and there’s massive demand from tenants, many landlords are selling their rental homes. For some, it’s part of their long-term plan, but for others, it’s a reaction against changing rules and taxes. Even so, not every landlord who’s selling up is getting out. Some are using the climate of stalling house prices, rocketing rents and levelling-up proposals to reset their buy-to-let business for the future.

Spring has been the most popular season to buy and sell a home for as long as we can remember, and with good reason.

 

Plans are often hatched around the beginning of the year, and as the weather warms up and nature bursts into bloom, those plans swing into action.

 

Perhaps you want to move your family in time for the new school year to minimise disruption to your children. Or maybe you just love the idea of being in your next home by summer.

 

Whether it’s more space, a bigger garden, somewhere with room for an office or even downsizing, spring inspires many a move, with sellers and buyers coming out of hibernation.

 

Of course, as more homes come up for sale, the competition to secure a buyer gets stiffer. So, with spring just around the corner, now is the time to prepare your home to stand out in the new season.

 

With that in mind, our blog this week is packed with tips for successful spring viewings to give your home the edge and find a buyer fast.
