Sell probate property, swiftly without stress

No, you generally need a Grant of Probate before contracts can be exchanged. If the property was jointly owned, different rules may apply. That being said, you can start the process, that is, securing valuations and offers, before probate is granted. Please get in touch if you have further questions about the process and how we can help.

You can sell immediately after probate is granted. We can exchange and complete in as little as 7 days if you’re ready.

Yes. But not to worry, we will cover their fees. We can also help you choose a solicitor who will represent your best interests and work closely with Instant Home Offers to ensure the property is sold on your desired completion date.

The entire process can take longer than a standard house sale due to the probate process itself. Obtaining the Grant of Probate can take several weeks or months depending on complexity and backlogs. Once probate is granted, the time to sell depends on market conditions and how the property is marketed. Some sources suggest the whole process, from listing to completion after probate, can take 3-6 months or even longer. Selling to a cash buyer like Instant Home Offers can expedite the process significantly.

If you’re selling on the open market through an estate agent, it’s generally advisable to clear out personal belongings and declutter the property to make it more appealing to potential buyers. However, this can be an emotional and time-consuming task. Some specialist probate property buyers – like Instant Home Offers – or auction houses may be willing to purchase the property ‘as is’, saving you the effort of clearing it.

Yes – in certain cases, we can exchange contracts within 24 hours, even when you’re looking to sell a probate property quickly. If your solicitor provides us with the full seller’s pack (including Grant of Probate, title details, and AML/KYC checks), we can complete the legal formalities the same day. For most probate sales, there’s no rush – so we adapt to your timeline, ensuring everything proceeds smoothly and respectfully.

We completely understand. Deciding to sell a probate house can be an emotional process. We’ll never rush you – our team will guide you through your options and give you all the information you need. Whether you choose to sell directly for cash or through our free probate auction service, you can take the time you need to decide what’s right for you and your family.

Only in your favour. After our initial valuation, if we identify factors that improve the property’s value or reduce expected costs, we may increase our offer. Unlike many quick sale companies, we do not use surveyor reports as leverage for lowering offers, and we guarantee not to lower our final offer. When you sell a probate property to us, there are no surprises, no last-minute reductions.

No, not at all. You can sell a probate house as-is, without spending time or money on repairs, cleaning, or refurbishment. We regularly purchase probate properties in any condition, from dated interiors to structural issues. We’ll take care of everything – all you need to do is decide when you’d like to complete.

We work with SRA-accredited solicitors who specialise in probate sales to make sure the legal process is handled properly. Once you’ve received the Grant of Probate, our solicitors will coordinate directly with yours to prepare contracts and complete the AML/KYC checks. You choose the completion date that works for you, and we’ll handle everything else — including all solicitor fees.

It’s a common concern. While selling probate properties through the open market can take months and risk collapse, our service focuses on speed and certainty without undervaluing your home. Our offers are fair, transparent, and guaranteed not to be lowered. You’ll save thousands in agent fees, repairs, and ongoing bills – often ending up with a better net return than a traditional sale.
