Sell your inherited house for cash.

Yes. You can market and accept offers on an inherited property before probate is granted. Exchange of contracts is possible before probate, but completion must wait until the grant of probate is issued. As cash buyers, we are happy to start the process early and complete as soon as probate is granted. In some cases, a limited grant of probate allows specific property sales before full probate.

There is no legal deadline to sell an inherited property. However, many families choose to sell quickly to avoid ongoing costs such as council tax on empty homes, insurance, maintenance, and mortgage payments. We can complete a probate property sale in as little as 7 days after probate is granted, or agree to wait until you are ready.

You do not pay capital gains tax on inheriting property - only when you sell it. CGT applies to any gain between the probate value (market value at date of death) and the sale price. Current rates are 18% for basic rate taxpayers and 24% for higher rate on residential property. Selling within 2 years may qualify for Private Residence Relief if the deceased lived there. We always recommend seeking professional tax advice.

Ideally, yes - all beneficiaries should agree to the sale terms. However, if one beneficiary refuses, others can apply to force a sale through the courts under the Trusts of Land Act 1996. Buyout arrangements between siblings are also possible. As cash buyers, we simplify multi-beneficiary sales by providing a clear, fair offer that all parties can evaluate.

No. We buy inherited properties in any condition. You do not need to clear the deceased's belongings, make repairs, clean, decorate, or obtain an EPC. We purchase hoarder properties, houses needing renovation, properties with structural issues, subsidence, damp, short leases, and homes that are unmortgageable. We take the property as it is.

You will need the grant of probate (or letters of administration if there is no will), the death certificate, and proof of your identity as executor or administrator. Your own solicitor will handle the legal paperwork, land registry transfer, and conveyancing on your behalf.

If you sell an inherited property within 2 years of the date of death, you may qualify for Private Residence Relief if the deceased was living in the property as their main home. This can significantly reduce or eliminate capital gains tax on the sale. The 36 month rule provides a final period exemption in certain circumstances. Always consult a qualified tax adviser.

We make you a cash offer within 24 hours based on the property's condition and location. You choose your completion date. There is no chain, no viewings, and no risk of the sale falling through. As cash buyers we can complete quickly and all beneficiaries receive their share on completion day.
