A new partnership claims to help investors sell their property faster and for more while still earning income, without tenant risk.

When rental properties become vacant, landlords may find they are unable to quickly end the void period. With this new deal between the National Residential Landlords Association and Flyp, investors can minimise stress and ensure they avoid a financial loss following the Budget’s recent changes to how the private rental sector is taxed.

A statement from the NRLA says: “Landlords face an impossible choice: empty months with no rent or selling with tenants and slashing the price. Flyp takes that pressure away, keeping income flowing and value intact until the right sale is made. 

“Furthermore, instead of gambling on one agent, Flyp puts four of the best agents to work on your property, for the price of one. Flyp then manages the property for you, at the same cost as sole agent, with no extra cost.”

Under the partnership, NRLA members benefit from:

• Free home sale health assessment;

• 40% discount on the upfront fee (fully refundable if 4 top local agents aren’t secured within 14 days);

• Present your rental property at its best with complimentary pre-viewing cleans for every new listing;

• Receive a free on-site survey for applicable homes, and tailored recommendations outlining the specific works that would most increase your property’s sale or rental value.

A Flyp spokesperson says: “With the ongoing impact of the Renters Rights Act running in parallel with earlier tax changes, many long-standing landlords are now reassessing the shape of their portfolios. 

“For those considering selling, the decision between selling with tenants in place or seeking vacant possession is rarely straightforward – it often means weighing income, control, and final sale value.

“Our partnership with the NRLA is designed to support landlords at exactly that point. Together, we’re helping members understand the implications of each route, prepare properties appropriately, and sell in a way that protects – and where possible enhances – the underlying value of the asset.”

And NRLA chief executive Ben Beadle adds: “Flyp’s technology-driven approach helps landlords unlock the full value of their investments, while maintaining flexibility. This collaboration supports our mission to give landlords the tools they need to succeed in an ever-changing market.”
