Selling a Tenanted Property: Your Complete Guide

Selling a tenanted property? Discover our complete guide to selling with tenants in situ vs. vacant possession, legal requirements, and key landlord tips.

Selling a property is rarely a simple transaction, but selling one with a tenant already living in it introduces another layer of consideration. For landlords, the decision is often between selling with the tenant in situ or preparing the property for vacant possession. While vacant possession can broaden the appeal to buyers, neither approach is inherently better, as selling with a tenant in situ may appeal to an investment buyer seeking an established income.

Streatham Hill's New Landmark: Inside The Croft

Discover The Croft, Streatham Hill's new architect-designed homes. Explore this landmark development near Tooting Bec Common.

Some streets change overnight. Streatham Hill has been changing for a century, slowly enough that most of its residents describe it in the present tense: an area on its way rather than one that's arrived. The Croft, a new collection of five architect-designed homes set behind a gated drive at the northern edge of Streatham Hill, near Tooting Bec Common, belongs to that same unhurried pace. It isn't trying to announce itself. It's simply the latest, most considered chapter in a piece of land that's been steadily shaping this corner of south London since long before anyone thought to call it up-and-coming.

Homes on Historic Garden Squares: London's Hidden Prestige

Discover London's most prestigious homes on historic garden squares. Enjoy private access to lush, unique gardens.

Most of London's garden squares can be looked at but not walked into. The gardens are usually controlled either by the estate that built them or by the people who live around them, and the gate opens with a key issued by a garden committee. Passers-by look in through the railings; residents let themselves in. That simple arrangement goes a long way towards explaining why estate agents treat a square address as a category of its own.
