For landlords in Cumbria the past 12 months haven’t exactly been plain sailing. With the evictions ban introduced by the government to help tenants during the Coronavirus pandemic, there are landlords who have been left in an uncertain position through no fault of their own. For some, the easiest way to resolve their situation may be to sell their property – and they shouldn’t be afraid to consider auction. Investors looking to realise their assets in the short term could be forgiven for thinking the only way to do this is to sell their property vacant, without tenants in-situ. However, with auction sales, we can sell your property with tenants in place, allowing for a seamless transfer between you and the new buyer. Across the UK, almost 700 tenanted properties have been sold by auction so far this year, with over 2,000 offered in 2020, which is unsurprising when you assess how attractive tenanted properties can be to buyers. so why not join them When buying a tenanted property, the new owner has the benefit of securing instant rental income. As a seller, you will also be able to take advantage of continued earnings up until the sale, making it mutually beneficial for both you and the buyer. What’s more, unlike buying a vacant property that could require a scheme of works before being ready for let, buyers will only have to consider any spend necessary for future issues that could arise, unless existing gripes have been made clear prior to purchase. We can make selling your tenanted property as simple as possible, but there are things you’ll have to consider before selling your property in an auction.
