The Market in 2026
Why Landlords Are Reviewing Their Portfolios
Regulation, tax and finance costs have changed significantly for private landlords. Every portfolio is different, but these are the reasons landlords most often give for considering a sale.
⚖️
Renters' Rights Act 2025
In England, Section 21 “no-fault” evictions were abolished from 1 May 2026, tenancies are now periodic, and further measures are being phased in during 2026 and 2027.
💸
Tax Changes & Mortgage Costs
Restrictions on mortgage interest relief for individual landlords, higher borrowing costs and current CGT rates have changed the numbers on many leveraged portfolios.
🔧
Compliance & Regulation Burden
Safety certificates, licensing schemes and planned energy-efficiency standards (EPC band C by 2030, subject to legislation) add cost and administration, particularly on older housing stock.
👴
Retirement & Estate Planning
Many landlords want to simplify their affairs as they approach retirement. Estate and inheritance planning is specialist territory – your solicitor and accountant should advise.
🏦
Lender Restrictions
Refinancing at the end of a fixed rate can be harder when lender affordability tests are applied to current rents and rates. Speak to your lender and an independent broker early.
📊
Changing Investment Strategy
Some landlords simply want less day-to-day management or to release capital for other plans. Investment decisions should be taken with a regulated financial adviser.
🏚️
Awaab’s Law
Strict deadlines for fixing damp, mould and other hazards already apply to social housing, with phase two from 30 November 2026. The government is consulting on extending Awaab’s Law to private landlords; no start date has been set yet.
📝
The New Landlord Register
The Private Rented Sector Database opens on 15 December 2026, region by region. West Midlands landlords go first and must register by 14 March 2027; every landlord in England must be registered by November 2027.
⏳
The 12-Month Re-Letting Ban
If you regain possession to sell (Ground 1A) and the sale falls through, you cannot re-let for 12 months from the end of the notice. That can mean a long void and, in some areas, up to double council tax once a home has been empty for a year.
Our Process
How a Sale Through PSC Works
A discreet, structured process from the first conversation to completion, with your agreement at every stage.
1
Initial Conversation
A no-obligation discussion about your portfolio, your reasons for selling and what you would like to achieve.
2
Portfolio Appraisal
We review your properties and give you an indicative market view. This is a desktop appraisal, not a RICS valuation.
3
Terms & Introductions
You receive our written terms of business and complete identity checks. We then introduce your portfolio to suitable investor buyers under NDA.
4
Offers to Completion
We discuss each offer with you. Once agreed, solicitors are instructed and we coordinate buyers, sellers and solicitors through to completion.

How We Can Help
Selling All Kinds of Residential Portfolio
Single lets, HMOs, blocks, mixed and limited company portfolios, in good order or needing work. We discuss each portfolio individually and introduce it to buyers with a suitable appetite.
🏘
Entire Portfolios
Sell every property in a single transaction, potentially with one buyer and one completion date. Whether this suits you depends on your portfolio and objectives.
Entire portfolio sale📂
Part-Portfolio Sales
Want to keep some properties? We can introduce selected properties to buyers – you decide which to sell and which to retain.
Partial portfolio options👨👩👧
Tenanted Properties
Many investor buyers purchase with tenants in place, so existing tenancies continue. Tenants must be told about their new landlord when the sale completes.
Sell with tenants in situ⚡
Selling Without Avoidable Delay
A cash-funded buyer removes the buyer’s mortgage from the process. Searches, titles and your own lender still take time, so we plan realistically.
Selling without delay🔧
Problem Properties
Structural issues, arrears or leasehold complications can narrow the market. We introduce such properties to experienced investor buyers; price reflects the risk.
Selling a problem property🔏
Off-Market Sales
Your properties are not advertised on public property portals. Details go only to buyers in our network who have signed a non-disclosure agreement.

🏢
Limited Company Portfolios
Portfolios held in a limited company or SPV can be sold property by property or, in some cases, by selling the company itself. The tax and legal routes differ, so we work alongside your accountant and solicitor to find the right structure for the sale.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the questions landlords most often ask before selling a portfolio.
No. PSC is led by people with long experience of property, but PSC is a portfolio sales consultancy, not a buyer. We introduce your portfolio discreetly to investor buyers in our network, help you consider the offers you receive, and coordinate the sale through to completion.
It is your choice. Some landlords sell everything in one transaction; others sell selected properties and keep the rest. We will talk through which approach suits your circumstances before anything is marketed.
Portfolio sales commonly take several months. The timescale depends on the number of properties, the tenancies in place, any lenders involved, searches and the buyer’s funding. We will give you a realistic view once we understand your portfolio.
Yes, in the end. Tenants must be told about their new landlord when the sale completes, and their tenancies carry on. Until then, details are shared only with those who need them, such as solicitors, lenders and serious buyers who have signed a non-disclosure agreement.
How PSC is paid is set out in writing in our terms of business before you agree to anything, including whether any fee is paid by the buyer. You will also pay your own solicitor’s conveyancing costs and any lender redemption costs.
Price depends on the properties, the tenancies, their condition and the buyer’s funding. We will explain how any offer compares with open-market evidence so you can decide with a clear view of the alternatives.
