Renters’ Rights Bill 2025 – Options for Landlords

Are You an HMO Landlord Feeling the Pressure of Changing Regulations?

With the 2025 Renters’ Rights Act (Effective from 1 May 2026), tenants will soon be able to leave their tenancy at any point, leading to unpredictable voids, higher turnover, and more work for landlords.

If you’re feeling the pressure, you’re not alone. Many HMO landlords are now looking for ways to exit the market, simplify their portfolios, or secure their income in an increasingly uncertain environment. That’s where SDM Property comes in.

Your Options:


Option 1: Sell Your HMO Property Fast

Whether your property is fully let, part-let, or vacant, SDM Property can make you a fair cash offer and complete in as little as 7–28 days.

Perfect if you want to:

  • Exit before new regulations take effect
  • Release tied-up capital quickly
  • Avoid ongoing compliance and tenant management

Option 2: Pass Management to Us – Keep the Income, Lose the Stress
