Selling your Sheffield property when there are tenants in situ might seem like an impossible task, but it isn’t. Sure, when you sell a property with sitting tenants there are extra hoops to jump through, extra rules and regulations to follow and something of a niche market to sell to — but it’s eminently doable, regardless of the state of the market.
The average house price in Sheffield was £221,000 in June 2024, up 6.9% from June 2023. This was higher than the rise in Yorkshire and The Humber (4.7%) over the same period. Private rents rose to an average of £851 in July 2024, an annual increase of 9.8% from £775 in July 2023. This was higher than the rise in Yorkshire and The Humber (7.0%) over the year.
But regardless of whether rental rates are on the up or taking a downward spiral, SellHouseFast.co.uk will guarantee to buy your buy-to-let property, even with tenants in place. Furthermore, we’ll do so extremely fast, which is especially convenient if you need to pay off a debt, a mortgage, or in fact just want a really quick sale for any reason whatsoever.
Your tenants don’t need to worry about their position either — we are happy to take them on from the moment the sale is completed. Which, coincidentally, is also when the money will arrive in your account — immediately after completion.

How SellHouseFast.co.uk works
You know, and we know, that Sheffield is a great place to live. Census data shows that between the last two censuses (held in 2011 and 2021), the population of Sheffield increased by just 0.7%, from just under 552,700 in 2011 to around 556,500 in 2021.
But even so, there are a lot of steps involved in selling property the usual way. You have to deal with potential buyers looking around, sometimes at short notice. Then you have to haggle over price, wait for mortgage providers to give your buyer the go-ahead, and argue with estate agents who won’t give you a straight answer. There’s a reason people say moving house is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever do — not to mention incredibly time-consuming.

Selling property with tenants in Sheffield
If you need to sell your tenanted Sheffield house for cash, fast, we can help — no matter the location, the condition, or the circumstances.
I need to sell a property to reduce my buy-to-let portfolio
Selling a buy-to-let property can be quite a process. First, you need to find a buyer — and when you do, you need to have a solicitor on hand to complete the conveyancing.
There are estate agents that specialise in buy-to-let properties, but they won’t be able to help you at the drop of a hat, you’ll need to get in the queue. You can use a standard estate agent if the property is vacant, but again, there will be a wait.
By contrast, we can have the whole process completed — and the money in your account — within a week. No waiting around, no stress, no fuss. Just a straightforward, easy transaction.
"This service was exactly what I needed. Everything was so fast and straightforward."

I need to sell my property to avoid paying for maintenance and repairs
For some landlords, selling a tenanted property isn’t so much a choice as a necessity, because they simply can’t keep up with the costs of maintaining and repairing it. Especially in the face of ever-more stringent regulations and requirements, such as Enhanced Tenant Protections, GSRs, EICRs and EPC ratings, to name but a few.
We can help you with that. When you come to SellHouseFast.co.uk, you get an instant cash offer, and can have money in your account within a week — so you no longer have the burden of a tenanted property and can spend your money as you please.
"To be honest, we’d run out of money, and the property was no longer fit for purpose — we owed it to our tenants to take action. Thanks to this service, they remain happily in the property and it’s been much improved."
Frank Dimble
I need to sell to avoid repossession
We realise avoiding repossession might give you a short window of opportunity within which to sell your Sheffield house, but that’s where we’re happy to step in. If you need help with clearing your mortgage arrears, are trying to avoid additional charges, or just want to clear your debt in a hurry, we can help. Free up your money for a new home and help keep your credit rating intact.
"This was the breath of fresh air I needed at just the right time, thank you so much."

Why sell a tenanted property in Sheffield?
For some sellers, the slowness and uncertainty of the traditional process are enough of a reason on their own to opt to sell property for cash. But in some situations (like selling a tenanted property), the option to sell your property for cash is nothing short of a lifeline.
At SellHouseFast.co.uk, we understand that each situation is unique and comes with its own set of challenges. Here are some common scenarios where our quick, hassle-free service can make a real difference when you’re selling a tenanted property:

Repossession

To get rid of the hassle
Owning and maintaining a tenanted property is not always a walk in the park. There can be difficult tenants, unexpected bills and issues that need your attention in a hurry, no matter what you’re doing and where you are in the world. Sometimes, it makes sense to save yourself time, effort and stress.
To reduce a buy-to-let portfolio
Selling a BTL property can be quite a process. First, you need to find a buyer – and when you do, you need to have a solicitor on hand to complete the conveyancing. There are estate agents that specialise in buy-to-let properties, but they won’t be able to help you at the drop of a hat, you’ll need to get in the queue. You can use a standard estate agent if the property is vacant, but again, there will be a wait. By contrast, we can have the whole process completed — and the money in your account — within a week. No waiting around, no stress, no fuss. Just a straightforward, easy transaction.
Spiralling costs
Facing extensive repair costs can be overwhelming for landlords, especially when combined with the interest rate hikes of recent years and tightening energy efficiency laws. Sadly the very issues that cause you to want to get out fast are the same ones that can significantly delay the sale of your property and decrease its value. SellHouseFast.co.uk offers a quick, reliable solution because we buy any home in any condition. No more big bills, just peace and quiet.
Divorce
Going through a divorce is difficult enough without shouldering any extra stress – but for many landlords, liquidating your assets is part of the divorce process. We release you from this burden by providing a fast, straightforward sale. This means you and your ex-partner can move forward more quickly, avoiding drawn-out (often emotional) processes.
Chain breaks
There are little things in life more frustrating than a property chain falling apart – and having tenants in place can make this hiccup even more complicated and painful. We can step in to buy your property quickly, so you can avoid this significant snag.
Poor property conditions
If your property needs a lot of big repairs, selling it through the traditional methods can be especially challenging. We buy any property in any condition, so you can skip the slow sell and instead enjoy the benefits of a fast cash sale.
