We understand that selling a probate property in the UK can be a delicate matter, so we endeavor to keep stress to a minimum by not charging estate agency fees - saving you thousands of pounds. In addition, we will pay your solicitor’s fees and cover the cost of any EPC required.

The transference of property between seller and buyer is a legal matter and will always need a solicitor to draw up and exchange contracts; carry out the relevant searches and ensure monies are handled correctly. To save you expense and stress, Open Property Group will pay your solicitor fees.
It helps if you can find the property title deeds (ask Land Registry, the mortgage lender or the solicitor who last sold the property); any sharehold, leasehold or freehold paperwork, and details of any management company involved, although Open Property Group can help at every step.
This depends on a number of factors. These include who lived in the property, who is planning the sale (a personal representatives or executor) and whether that person already owns a property. Upon a sale, the estate may be liable for Capital Gains Tax, or there may be a case for main residence exemption. Working out what tax is due when a probate property is sold can be a complex matter but Open Property Group can talk through your situation and offer advice.
Despite having a will, it is crucial that probate is obtained after someone’s death. Without probate, you almost certainly have no legal authorisation to sell a property. The only exception may be if your name is already listed on the title deeds. If there is no will, a grant of letters of administration have to been obtained - the equivalent of probate - before a property can be sold. A property can be advertised for sale before probate is secured but it can't complete until probate is obtained.
There are no restrictions on selling an inherited property once probate has been obtained. In fact, many beneficiaries will want to sell an inherited property - especially if they already own a home, don't feel the inherited property matches their needs or they don't want to become a landlord. You can sell the property ‘as seen’ or carry out improvement works first. Once thing to think about is how quickly you need to dispose of the inherited asset - if you want to sell the house fast, Open Property Group can help.
We buy property directly and you won't pay any agent's fees.
