As a property buyer, we understand that some property owners may have tenants occupying their properties at the time of sale (Known as sitting tennants). We want to reassure prospective vendors that we are also enthusiastic about buying properties with sitting tenants.

A sitting tenant: What is it?

An individual who is currently renting a property from the owner has the right to stay in the home even after it is sold. This individual is known as a sitting tenant. In other words, even if the ownership of the property changes, the tenant has the right to continue living there and paying rent.

Why would someone want to sell a house that has sitting tenants?

There are a number of reasons why a property owner might want to sell their property with sitting tenants. Here are a few examples:

1. Guaranteed rental income: If a landlord is receiving a steady stream of rental income from their sitting tenant, they may want to sell the property while still receiving rental income, rather than waiting until the tenant moves out and the property is vacant.

2. Tenant protection laws: Depending on where the property is located, there may be laws that protect sitting tenants and give them the right to remain in the property even after a sale. In some cases, it may be easier to sell the property with the sitting tenant than to go through the legal process of trying to remove them.

3. Avoiding vacancies: If a landlord is having trouble finding new tenants, they may choose to sell the property with the sitting tenant to avoid having a vacant property.

4. Simplifying the sales process: Selling a property with sitting tenants can simplify the sales process because the new owner does not have to find new tenants or deal with any vacancy periods.
