FAQ's

Q. Can a house be sold before probate is granted?

The property can be marketed and a buyer sourced, a price agreed but ultimately the contacts cannot be exchanged and therefore technically sold prior to the probate having been granted.

Q. How long does it take to get probate granted?

This will vary according to the complexity of the estate. A very brief guide will be 6 weeks for a simple estate whereas it could be more like 12-14 weeks where the estate exceeds the inheritance tax threshold.

Q. We want to ensure we are achieving the best price for the property, how can we be sure this will happen?

It is a difficult question to answer about any property sale but we feel the modern method of auction is the perfect way to sell a probate property. We market the property extensively, it will be priced to gain as much interest as possible and therefore during the agreed marketing period it will gain the maximum number of viewings in a concentrated period that will in turn gain the highest sale price in the market conditions at that time.

Q. We don’t want to show anyone around the house, are you able to do all the viewings?

This is completely understandable and generally we look to undertake all viewings for all our properties regardless. We never allow buyers to have a key and show themselves around and have many security procedures in place to ensure the keys are held securely.
