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.
