By Dedman Gray Auctions – Essex’s Most Successful Property Auctioneer
Selling a residential buy-to-let (BTL) portfolio can be challenging. The private treaty route—via an estate agent—often means drawn-out timelines, chain dependency, and the risk of buyers cherry-picking the most attractive properties, leaving harder-to-sell assets unsold.
By contrast, selling through traditional auction offers a certain, fast, and strategic way to dispose of an entire portfolio—ensuring all assets are sold under one competitive bidding environment, with legally binding contracts on the day.
Key Benefits for the Selling Landlord
1. Certainty of Sale on a Fixed Timeline
- Properties can be entered into our next auction within weeks.
- Contracts are exchanged immediately when the gavel falls.
- Completion typically follows within 28 days, guaranteeing a clear exit date.
2. Continued Rental Income Until Completion
Unlike private treaty sales, auction conditions mean you keep collecting rent until the legal completion date—no early surrender or costly void periods.
3. Sell All Assets Together
Auction encourages competitive bidding on entire portfolios or individual lots within them, helping ensure that both high-demand and lower-demand properties find buyers.
Benefits for the Portfolio Buyer
- Income from Day One – Rent revenue starts immediately on completion.
- No Void Period Risk – Tenancies remain in place until transfer.
- Transparent, Competitive Purchasing – Bids are made in an open forum, ensuring fair market value.
