Why sell with The Business Acquisitions Group?
Access the full buyer market
Managed lettings books are in high demand. We work with independent buyers, regional chains, national groups, and PE-backed consolidators who are actively purchasing lettings books and full agencies. More buyers means more competition — and a better price for you.
Confidential from start to finish
Landlords, staff, and competitors won’t know your business is for sale until you’re ready to tell them. We operate under strict NDAs throughout.
Specialist lettings expertise
AMFI multiples, rent roll analysis, landlord concentration, TUPE obligations, earn-out structures — we know the lettings sector. You’re not paying for a learning curve.
No upfront fees
Our fee is a percentage of the sale price, paid on completion. No sale, no fee.
What is my letting agency worth?
Letting agencies are typically valued on a multiple of Annual Management Fee Income (AMFI) or a multiple of adjusted EBITDA for larger businesses. Where your agency sits in the range depends on the size and quality of your managed book, landlord concentration, fee levels, contract terms, and how dependent the business is on you personally.
For a detailed breakdown, see our guides on AMFI multiples, what a lettings book is really worth, and how UK estate and letting agencies are valued in 2026 — or get a free valuation based on your actual numbers.
Sell the whole agency or just the lettings book?
You don’t have to sell everything. Some owners sell the managed book only and keep trading in sales; others sell the complete business. Each route has different price, tax, and TUPE implications — we’ll help you compare both before you commit to either.
How the sale process works
Most letting agency sales complete within six to nine months: valuation and preparation, discreet marketing to matched buyers, offers and negotiation, due diligence, then the legal process through to completion and handover. Read our guides on how long it takes to sell a lettings agency and preparing your letting agency for sale.
Frequently asked questions
How much is my letting agency worth?
Most UK letting agencies sell on an AMFI multiple, with the exact figure driven by the quality of your managed book, landlord concentration, fee levels and owner dependency. Use our free valuation tool for an estimate based on your own numbers.
Can I sell just my lettings book?
Yes. Managed book (portfolio) sales are common and often complete faster than whole-business sales. The trade-off is usually price and tax treatment, which we’ll walk you through before you choose.
How long does it take to sell a letting agency?
Typically six to nine months from decision to completion, including preparation, marketing, due diligence and legals. Well-prepared agencies with clean management agreements complete faster.
Will my landlords and staff find out?
Not until you choose to tell them. Buyers sign NDAs before receiving any identifying information, and marketing is anonymised.
What happens to my staff when I sell?
In most agency sales TUPE applies, meaning your employees transfer to the buyer on their existing terms. We factor this into deal structure and buyer selection from the start.
What tax will I pay when selling?
Most sellers qualify for Business Asset Disposal Relief, reducing Capital Gains Tax to 14% on qualifying gains up to the lifetime limit (2026/27). Deal structure affects what you keep — take advice early.
