Property types

Different property types create different exit questions.

A single buy-to-let, an occupied HMO and a multi-property portfolio should not be assessed through the same checklist. The structure, records, occupancy and buyer pool can differ materially.

Contextual property image for Different property types create different exit questions.
A mix of ordinary houses and flats helps show the different property types that may be considered.

What matters more than the label

OccupancyWho is in the property and on what basis?
IncomeWhat rent is actually being received and is anything in arrears?
RecordsWhat tenancy, deposit, safety and management information is available?
ConditionWhat work is known, deferred or likely to affect value and finance?

Start with the actual asset

We would rather understand the real building, tenancy and paperwork than force an unusual property into a standard category. That is especially important for HMOs, blocks and mixed portfolios.

Common questions

Can you review a property that needs work?

Potentially, yes. Condition is part of the review rather than a reason to hide the property until it is refurbished.

Can an HMO be considered while occupied?

Potentially, subject to the tenancy or licence position, records, compliance and buyer requirements.

What if my portfolio contains different property types?

A mixed portfolio can be reviewed as one schedule, then separated into sensible groups if different routes are more practical.

Start the conversation

Talk through the property, not just the theory.

A rough property list and a clear description of what is making ownership difficult are enough for an initial confidential discussion.
