Selling a probate property is slightly different from a regular property. In addition, it can also be a heavy burden dealing with the sale of the inherited property at a difficult time. Contact Woodward Estate Agents to see how we can make the process easier for you.
Not only will our service help achieve a quick sale (which can be key if taxes are owed), but it also ensures the property is sold for its actual value, which is essential to the executors.
We have a team of trusted and reliable contractors available for properties that may have fallen into disrepair. We maintain close partnerships with vetted contractors such as tradespeople, removal companies, auctioneers, surveyors, and gardeners. Our probate sale service will efficiently handle the most tedious tasks on your behalf. We’ll ensure the property is presented at its best and assist you with the sales process afterwards.
Over the years, we have handled hundreds of probate sales, and we urge you to call us to discuss your particular circumstances and other ways we can assist you and your family. For example, you may have inherited the property but are not interested in selling it. In this case, we can explore other avenues, such as letting the property while you decide on the longer-term plan.

Probate property valuation: Once appointed, we will value the property. This valuation is essential for probate purposes, as it forms part of the overall value of the estate.
Obtaining the grant of probate: The executor of the will or the administrator of the estate must receive a Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration if there’s no will). This legal document authorises them to deal with the deceased’s estate, including selling the property.
Preparing the property for sale: We may advise on preparing the property for sale, which could involve clearing the house, making necessary repairs, or staging the property to appeal to potential buyers.
Marketing the property: We will execute our marketing plans once the property is ready for sale. This process often involves listing the property on various platforms, advertising, reaching into our contact pool, and arranging viewings.
Negotiating offers: When offers are made, we handle negotiations with potential buyers to achieve the best possible price. We will mediate between the buyer and the executor or administrator, ensuring both parties are satisfied with the transaction.
Closing the sale: When an offer is accepted, we will liaise with solicitors and other parties involved to complete the sale.
Exchange and completion: The final step is the exchange of contracts, followed by completion, where the property ownership officially transfers to the buyer.
People sell probates for various reasons. A quick sale can simplify the process, which is often a very practical decision.
