Tenanted property can be tricky to sell Selling tenanted property quickly with tenants in situ has pluses and minuses depending on who you speak to. Certainly it presents practical difficulties. Estate agents may not see the real potential in your properties. Some can even be quite negative about taking tenanted properties on their books. Buyers sourced through agents are hoping to buy a property with vacant possession, and often in "walk-in" condition. As tenants may put buyers off, estate agents may down-value your property accordingly. Also your property may not be in the tip top condition buyers looking for a "home" expect.  Then, of course, there are your tenants. We know that a number of you want to do the "right thing" by your tenants. Identifying another investor buyer then becomes the more logical alternative.

Some landlords are suspicious about owners and tenants possibly colluding in some way. Or, simply prefer to find their own tenants.
