What Is Probate and Why Does It Affect Selling a Property?

Probate is the legal process of administering the estate of someone who has passed away. The probate process involves verifying the validity of the deceased’s will, settling any outstanding debts or tax liabilities, and transferring ownership of their assets (including any property) to the relevant beneficiaries.

Until probate has been granted, even if you are the beneficiary, you cannot legally sell the property you’ve inherited. The good news is that we can prepare everything in advance so that the moment probate is granted, we can complete the sale of your property right away.

What Costs Are Involved in Selling a House After Probate?

The costs involved in selling a house after probate will depend on the route that you take to sell the property. If you want to pay no fees at all and walk away with 100% of the money your house sells for, the best way to sell would be through a reputable cash house buyer like us.

When you sell your house through Sell House Fast, we will complete the sale privately and off-market. This means you get to avoid the 1% to 3% in estate agent fees, which can easily add to several, if not tens of thousands of pounds.

As part of our service, we will also cover all legal costs associated with the sale of your house, allowing you to walk away from the deal with all the money that we’ve offered for your property.

Selling a House After Probate When There Are Multiple Beneficiaries

If there are multiple beneficiaries involved in the sale of the property, the process can become a little bit more complicated, especially if not everyone is in agreement about how the property should be handled. As a result, before the sale can proceed, all parties will need to agree on the decision to sell and the terms that will come with the sale.

If all beneficiaries are in agreement, the process of selling an inherited property through Sell House Fast is the same as selling with a single beneficiary. We’ll make a cash offer within 24 hours, and if everyone agrees, we can complete the sale in just 7 days.

Why Cash Buyers Are Ideal for Selling a Probate Property Quickly

If completing the sale of a probate property and unlocking its cash value as quickly as possible is your priority, there is no better way to sell than through a cash buying company like ours. Some of the reasons why we are the best choice when selling an inherited property include:

  • We can complete the sale in as little as 7 days from the moment probate is granted
  • We use our own funds, so there is no mortgage approval or chain to hold things up

FAQs About Selling a House After Probate

Need more information? Our team is available on 0800 368 4757. You can also find answers to the most common questions below.

In the large majority of cases, you’ll need to wait for probate to be granted before you are legally allowed to transfer the ownership of the property to the buyer.
It depends on how you choose to sell the property. If you sell your property after probate through an estate agent on the open market, the whole process can take several months. If you sell the property through a cash house buying company like Sell House Fast, we can complete the whole process and have the funds deposited into your account within 7 days.
If you’re in a situation where you need probate to be granted so you can sell your inherited property, then no, you can’t officially sell your house before the probate process is complete. However, if you choose to sell with us, we can begin the process and carry out all the work ahead of time, so that once probate is granted, we can complete the sale without delay.
The taxes that you’ll have to pay when selling a probate property will depend on a couple of factors, such as the total value of the estate and your relationship to the deceased. In some cases, you may have to pay inheritance tax and capital gains tax. Whether that’s the case for you, we don’t know and would recommend you seek independent legal or financial advice.
If beneficiaries cannot agree on whether to sell the property, the sale cannot proceed until a resolution is reached. Do note that the longer the dispute remains unresolved, the more costs the estate will continue to accumulate in the meantime.
No, you don’t. When you sell your house after probate to a cash buying company like ours, we will buy it off you as it is, regardless of what’s inside or the condition it’s in.
If the probate property you’re selling is in poor condition or hasn’t been maintained for a long time, it can only be a problem if you’re selling on the open market. Since we buy properties in any condition, if you choose to sell through us, we would be happy to provide you with an offer regardless of the condition your inherited property is currently in.
