Landlord selling property can’t produce gas certificate

Are there tenants living at the property now?


Does it appear to be good value for money as in does it appear cheap for the area and type of property? If the answer to this is yes then that it because the landlord really wants to sell to another landlord which is why the tenants are still living there.



A property that has been rented and is now vacant is worth more on the open market than one with tenants living in it so if the price listed now is with the tenants then that price is for another landlord. Once the property is vacant it could be more expensive. The landlord may only accept an offer for you if you want it vacant based on the price for a vacant property in that area so you are not going to get it at the landlord's price.


It can take as long as 9 months for a landlord to get possession of a property so don't make an offer until it is vacant.


If you don't want to wait that long/risk the price being higher when it is vacant find another property.
