Executor & Inherited Property Sales

Since our foundation in 1995, Wilkinson Grant & Co have helped hundreds of clients sell Executor or Inherited Properties. Our years of experience mean we understand just how sensitive and challenging the process can be.

Inherited Property sales

Wilkinson Grant & Co provide a specialist service to help those who find themselves in this position. This guide is a summary of basic information illustrating how we can help support you every step of the way.

When dealing with an Executor or Inherited Property sale, we recognise the importance of timely proceedings from obtaining prompt, accurate valuations to achieving a timely sale at the best price the market will deliver.

We can help with everything from the start of this process to the very end. Probate may be complicated but we will work hard to make it as seamless as possible by providing or arranging a range of services.

A Brief Guide to Probate & Property Sales

Obtain a valuation of the property at the date the owner died. Be sure to retain documentary evidence of this value as there may be Inheritance Tax implications further down the line.

Applying for Probate can take up to 8 months - in this unsettled period we recommend working with a reputable solicitor to reduce stress or concerns.

Maintenance, security and insurance can be a concern during the Probate application process. Long winter months and vacant spells can cause issues - we offer Property Management and Reporting services to help.

Sale Considerations & Cautions:

1. Family Interest: Whilst this may seem simple, selling within the family can get complicated.

2. There are many companies that offer to buy homes quickly for cash - whilst appealing, you may be left considerably out of pocket.

3. If you are an Executor, you are under obligation to sell for the open market value - if taking a low offer, a beneficiary can look to you for the difference in value.
