How much will it cost me to sell my buy to let?
- Listings cost from £29.99
- If the property sells successfully, then there is a ‘Success-on-Sale’ flat fee of £200
If you want to make your listing more attractive, you can easily add a photo gallery for an extra £10 and an attachment for a further £10. In other words, NO listing will cost you more than £49.99. Compare that to selling through an estate agent!
Bulk Selling?
If you plan on selling 30-60 properties on Landlord Trader then you might want to consider buying a Corporate Voucher. Listings become very much cheaper but if any property sells successfully through the website you will still have to pay the ‘Success-on-Sale’ fee.
A Corporate Voucher buys you 30 listings and costs just £600 (that's £20 per listing). Alternatively you can purchase two vouchers (60 listings) for £900 that's only £15 per listing. You can use your listings at any time in 1 year but individual listings will expire after 4 months, as normal.
Corporate Voucher customers will be able to list multiple photos and an attachment at no extra cost. In other words, you can have a £49.99 listing for as little as £15.
To get your corporate voucher, please send a cheque with your name, contact number and email address to Landlord Trader Ltd, Riverbank House, 1 Putney Bridge Approach, London, SW6 3JD. We will then issue you with the voucher codes for you to put up your properties.

Research Tips
How do I determine the approximate value of a buy to let property?
An approximate property value can be easily researched through looking for comparable properties in the area. These comparables can be found either by looking in local newspapers, estate agents windows, talking with estate agents or checking out other property websites.
Alternatively, you can ask an estate agent to value the property prior to purchase. Be warned, most estate agents will charge to do this as they may quickly realise that they'll not be getting any follow-on work from it.
For a formal valuation, you should make sure that the estate agent is also a qualified Chartered Surveyor under the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Other handy tips include:
- Compare Property Prices – The Land Registry’s website Landreg.gov.uk provides comprehensive data on all properties sold, inculding type of property and sale price. This service is not free. For a free and very navigatable alternative, albeit slightly less comprehensive in terms of detail, try either Net House Prices, Mouse Price, or Our Property.
- Property websites – A useful first point of call for comparables is to look on RightMove.co.uk, PrimeLocation.com, and PropertyFinder.co.uk. These sites have such a huge amount of property listings, you can get a real feel for prices in any given area before you buy property. What House's new website offers a comprehensive research tool which is handy for both investors and also those searching for a home.
- Local Knowledge – There is no better way of finding out how rentable an area is than talking to local agents (estate or lettings), so get on the phone to them! For a comprehensive list of agents, please CLICK HERE. Investment magazines and simply talking with other Landlords is also very valuable. For this reason, Landlord Trader encourages the use of the Landlord Trader investor forum.
How do I determine the rent on my property?
Again, comparisons can be found by looking in local newspapers, talking to local lettings agents and looking on rental websites. Good websites for comparables in the lettings market include: RightMove.co.uk and PropertyFinder.co.uk, because they have so much property for sale.
Please note that this factsheet should not be seen as advice. Potential vendors should speak with a solicitor if unsure of their legal situation.
