The traditional property market isn’t built with probate in mind. Buyers are slow, chains collapse. And quick sale companies are unregulated, which means there’s a high risk of gazundering – it’s not unusual to accept an offer in good faith, only for them to slash the price days before exchange.
Instant Home Offers believes in a better way. We offer a fast, fair and fully transparent service to sell probate properties, with no surprises, no last-minute changes, and no pressure. Our team is sensitive to your needs, and will work with you every step of the way.
Step 1
Complete our form or contact us at 0204 578 2156. We’ll ask you to share some key details about the probate property which we’ll send to our valuation team.
We guarantee we’ll offer on any probate property in any condition.
Step 2
We’ll share a free, no-obligation offer-in-principle within 24 hours. Typically, this is 20% under market value. (Beware cash buyers that offer higher, as their offers are often too good to be true.) If you accept, we’ll instruct an independent RICS qualified surveyor to assess the condition and location of your property, and we’ll give you a fair and final offer.
We guarantee we will not slash or lower our final offer.
Step 3
We’ll assign a dedicated progression manager to you to provide you with regular updates. We’ll also cover all solicitor fees, and we can help you choose the right SRA-accredited solicitor for your probate property – one who’ll tackle all of the legal paperwork and complexities with ease. All you need to do is let us know when you want to exchange and complete.
We work at your pace. You set the schedule, dates, and deadlines.
Step 4
Exchange and complete when you’re ready. You don’t have to worry about the presentation of your probate property or carrying out costly repairs. With our network of buyers, we won’t waste your time or energy trying to arrange funds.
You can exchange in 24 hours and receive payment in 7 days.
Time matters in probate. You may want to release equity, reduce the burden of bills and upkeep, or move on emotionally. That’s why we’ve built a system that lets you sell your probate house fast or at a pace that suits you.
As members of the National Association of Property Buyers, we’re registered with The Property Ombudsman and
Trading Standards, and follow a strict Code of Practice to treat our sellers fairly and with dignity.
We’re ready when you are. No pressure, no obligation, just a fast, honest service that puts your needs first.

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.
