Sell a tenanted property in Cardiff
Selling a tenanted property on the open market in Cardiff usually means emptying it first: serving notice under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, losing months of rent, then marketing to owner-occupiers who cannot buy with tenants in place. We buy tenanted Cardiff property as an investment, with the contract-holders staying exactly where they are.
- Tenants and occupation contracts stay in place — no section 173 notice
- Licensed and unlicensed HMOs both considered
- No void period and no lost rent
- Arrears, expired licences and outstanding works are not blockers
- Single lets or a whole Cardiff portfolio in one completion
Quick Sales UK operates nationally and buys directly for cash across England and South Wales. We do not have a physical office in Cardiff.
Cardiff is a landlord-exit market
Cathays and Roath contain one of the largest concentrations of student HMOs in Wales, and an Article 4 direction plus Rent Smart Wales licensing has made small-scale letting materially harder and more expensive over the last few years. Many Cardiff landlords with one or two houses are now leaving the sector rather than re-licensing and re-fitting.
The open market punishes that decision. An owner-occupier cannot complete on a house with contract-holders in it, so the conventional route is to serve notice, accept the void, and only then market — with no guarantee the eventual buyer completes.
Notice periods under Welsh law
Since the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 came into force, no-fault notice under section 173 requires a long minimum notice period and cannot be served in the first months of an occupation contract. That is a serious cost to a landlord who simply wants out.
Selling to us removes it entirely. We take the property with the occupation contracts and deposits assigned across, so no notice is served and no rent is lost. Your contract-holders keep their home and receive a straightforward landlord-change notification.
Portfolios and licensed HMOs
We buy single lets, licensed HMOs and whole portfolios across CF3 to CF24 in one transaction with one completion date, including properties with rent arrears, expired licences, outstanding EPC upgrades or works required by Cardiff Council's licensing team.
Sell a tenanted property in Cardiff — FAQs
Do I have to evict my tenants before selling?
No. We buy with contract-holders in situ and take on the existing occupation contracts and deposits.
Will you buy a licensed student HMO in Cathays?
Yes — mid-tenancy, fully let, and including properties where the HMO licence needs renewing or works are outstanding.
What if my tenants are in arrears?
We still buy. Arrears are reflected in the offer rather than preventing the purchase.
Do you buy portfolios?
Yes. Multiple Cardiff properties can be bought in a single transaction with one completion date.
