HOOSE OFF YOUR HANDS

Is evicting to sell worth the risk?

Your agent will tell you what the house could fetch. This calculator shows what you’d actually keep once the notice period, the empty months, the refurb and the fees come off, and how long you’d wait for it. Put in your own numbers. It takes about two minutes.

Watch Adam walk you through it. He goes through each step of the calculator, explains where landlords usually get caught out, and gives his advice on what to think about before you serve notice.

Rough figures are fine. Every box already has a typical Aberdeenshire figure in it, so just change what you know is different.

Getting the tenant out

In Scotland a tenant of over six months gets 84 days’ Notice to Leave. If they don’t go, you apply to the tribunal and wait.

Want to skip the hassle?

We buy tenanted properties across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, and your tenant stays put.

Let’s be straight with you. Our offer will be below what an agent says it could fetch empty and done up. We’re buying it as it is, tenant in, and taking on the work, the wait and the risk you’ve just priced up. What you’re really deciding is whether a firm figure, with your rent coming in until the sale completes, beats a bigger one that might take a year or more and might not arrive in full.

We hope this guide has given you a clear picture of what it’s really like to sell a tenanted property on the open market. If you’d rather skip the hassle, we’d love to have a free, no-obligation chat. Just tap the button below, tell us a bit about your property, and we’ll get you booked in for a call.

Ben owned 20 tenanted properties and wanted out. The usual route meant years of notices, refurbs and sales, one house at a time. Instead he sold all 20 to us. No estate agent, and not one tenant had to move out.

This calculator gives rough estimates from the figures you enter, to help you compare your options. It isn’t financial, tax or legal advice. It leaves out tax, which you’d pay whichever way you sell. Speak to your solicitor or accountant before serving any notice.
