Plan a rental-property sale around your priorities
Timing, tenancy status, access, condition, buyer profile and the seller’s need for speed or discretion can all influence the most suitable route.
WOP works through iAD for the formal agency relationship, sales administration and portal access, while providing the local marketing and viewing support that helps bring the property to market.
Routes that may be considered
Private treaty
Broad market exposure and a conventional sales process, with pricing, presentation and buyer qualification considered together.
Off-market
A targeted approach where discretion is a priority, while recognising that a smaller audience may affect competitive tension.
Auction
A defined timetable and an earlier point of legal commitment, supported by legal-pack readiness and an appropriate guide and reserve strategy.
Before marketing begins
- Confirm the tenancy position, notice requirements and access arrangements with the appropriate legal adviser.
- Gather title, lease, management, compliance and property information requested by the conveyancer and agent.
- Decide whether the property is likely to appeal most to owner-occupiers, landlords or both.
- Agree a realistic pricing and marketing strategy based on current evidence.
Choosing the route
Sales proceed through WOP/iAD Terms of Business. The recommended route is considered only after the property, tenancy and seller’s objectives have been reviewed.
