Sell or Rent?

Sell or Rent?

Whether you should sell your house or rent it out depends on your individual circumstances and goals. Here are some factors to consider:

Your financial situation.

Do you need the money from the sale to buy your next home? If so, selling may be the only option. However, if this is not necessary then renting could be a great way of benefiting from the investment value of your home and generate income.

Your time commitment.

Are you willing to manage the day-to-day responsibilities of being a landlord, such as finding tenants, collecting rent, and handling repairs? If not, selling may be a better option. But of course we can take all of this on for you and manage the whole process.

The local rental market.

Is there a high demand for rental properties in your area? If so, you may be able to rent out your house for a good profit. However, if the rental market is weak, you may have difficulty finding tenants or may have to lower your rent. We can give you an up to the minute valuation to assess this.

Your long-term goals.

Do you plan to move back into the house in the future? If so, renting it out may not be the best option, as you may have to pay capital gains taxes and stamp duty on the sale. However, if you are not planning to move back, renting out the house can be a good way to build equity and generate passive income.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to sell or rent your house is a personal one. There is no right or wrong answer, and the best option for you will depend on your individual circumstances and goals.

Here are some additional things to consider:

The cost of selling. 
Our sales fees are very competitive but this still needs to be factored in.

The cost of renting. 
There are also costs associated with renting out a house, such as property management fees and repairs.

Your tax situation
as a landlord you will probably need to pay tax on any rental income and you should take professional advice on this.

If you are still undecided, then why not speak to us and talk through the options before you decide.
