Probate can take time, and the property often needs to be dealt with before the estate can be settled. Understanding the sequence helps executors plan.
The estate applies for probate, the property is valued for the estate, and the sale completes once the grant is issued and the executors have authority to sell.
An offer can normally be agreed in principle beforehand, with completion timed around the grant.
Executors have a duty to obtain a reasonable price for the estate. Comparing a direct offer with an estate agent valuation is sensible, and legal advice is essential.
How it works
No listings, no viewings and no obligation at any point.
Share the address, condition and your situation using the online form or a quick phone call.
We research the local market and the property's condition, and arrange an inspection where needed.
We explain how we reached our figure and put the offer to you clearly, with no pressure attached.
Take your time, compare it with an agent valuation, ask questions — or walk away. There is no obligation.
Solicitors handle the legal work and we complete on a date agreed with you.
Why us
A direct purchase from a company that buys properties itself — with the detail explained up front.
No listing, no marketing photography, no open-market viewings and no agent commission on completion.
We consider properties in almost any condition. There is no need to repair, decorate or clear anything first.
Receiving an offer costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Nothing is binding until contracts are exchanged.
We buy properties ourselves rather than passing your details on, so you deal with the buyer throughout.
Completion is agreed between you, us and the solicitors — quickly if you need it, or later if that suits you better.
FAQs
A sale usually cannot complete until the grant of probate is issued, but the sale can be agreed and prepared in the meantime. Your solicitor will confirm the position for the estate.
