Inheriting a property brings complex responsibilities alongside the emotional weight of bereavement.
Step 1: Obtain Probate
You need a Grant of Probate before selling. This typically takes 3 to 6 months.
Step 2: Understand Inheritance Tax
IHT is charged at 40% on estate value above the nil-rate band. Seek independent advice early.
Step 3: Choose Your Sale Route
For properties in poor condition or where speed matters, a cash buyer is often best. Call +44 07463 555549.
