Selling a tenanted property: prepare the information early

A tenant affects viewing arrangements, buyer information and handover planning. Review the lease and relevant rights and obligations before promising vacant possession or a specific income. Respect the occupant's privacy and organise visits under permitted arrangements.

Practical steps

1. Collect the lease, amendments and available collection records
2. Explain occupancy without disclosing unnecessary personal information
3. Agree a viewing and handover plan reviewed by an adviser

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
