In this episode, we’re talking about when it might be the right time to sell your HMO – and why holding on to it could actually be holding you back.

At some point, the decision of whether or not to sell your assets is something you'll need to give serious thought to. So today, we’ll explore the different scenarios where selling could be a smart and timely move.

But to be clear – this isn’t about convincing you to sell. Far from it. It’s about helping you prepare, so that when the time does come, you’re in the strongest possible position to get the very best return from your HMO.

• 02:31 - The Importance of Selling in Property Investment
