Would your tenants be interested in buying your properties? I've sold three of my rentals this year to the tenants. Two have been helped by Laura Bugeja from Approved Mortgage Solutions - she has been able to arrange mortgages for them. One, where the tenants hadn't been able to save enough deposit, I agreed to "gift them their deposit" by reducing the price by 5%. Laura arranged all of this. It's a special mortgage deal, and it's a good feeling to be able to help first time buyers on to the property ladder.
