Maximise Returns: Why Now is the Right Time to Sell Your Buy-to-Let Property in London
The London property market is evolving rapidly. Landlords face increased regulatory pressure, rising interest rates, and complex compliance obligations. For many, the most profitable and strategic move is to sell their buy-to-let portfolio—and to do it with expert guidance that ensures optimal returns.
At London Estate Agency, we specialise in helping landlords like you sell tenanted or vacant investment properties quickly and profitably. Whether you’re looking to exit entirely or restructure your portfolio, we provide a full-service, hands-off solution explicitly tailored for London property owners.
Why Landlords Are Choosing to Exit the Buy-to-Let Market in London
Rising Interest Rates and Decreasing Margins
With recent interest rate hikes, mortgage repayments have soared—shrinking net yields and pushing many landlords into negative cash flow. These pressures are especially severe in London, where property prices are higher and yields slimmer.
Regulatory Burden
Compliance is no longer optional—it’s an expensive, ever-changing necessity. From EPC regulations to Section 24 mortgage interest relief changes, landlords must now navigate a minefield of red tape. Many prefer to cash in before the next wave of legislation hits.
Capital Gains Opportunities
London property values have grown significantly over the last decade. By exiting now, landlords can lock in capital gains, especially before any proposed changes to Capital Gains Tax allowances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my buy-to-let to tenants still living on the property?
Yes. We actively market to investors looking to buy with tenants in place, allowing you to maintain rent income until completion and avoid legal complications from evictions.
Will I pay Capital Gains Tax when I sell?
If you’ve owned the property for some time, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may apply. However, brilliant timing, reliefs, and structuring advice can help minimise your liability. We can connect you with qualified tax advisors for guidance.
Do I need an EPC to sell?
Yes. You’ll need a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to sell your property. We can arrange this for you quickly and affordably through our in-house EPC service.
How long does it take to sell a buy-to-let property in London?
Through our investment buyer network, we often secure offers within 7–14 days, with completions in under 4 weeks—faster than traditional estate agents.
Do I need to carry out any repairs before selling?
Not necessarily. Many of our investors buy properties as-is, including tenanted or rundown units. We’ll advise you honestly on what (if anything) is needed to get the best price.
