Expert Oversight for Probate Property Transactions
We bridge the specialist gap between standard property conveyancing and authoritative estate administration. In most estates the family home is the most valuable asset. As such it needs to be handled with the care that only a specialist service can provide. Our SRA-regulated oversight ensures that complex transfers and sales are managed with technical precision and professional integrity.
Probate Property Sales
Whilst they may seem like a straightforward thing Probate Property Sales need a specialist, and many traditional conveyancing firms simply don't understand the nuances. Our experts are trained to spot any issues before they arise.
The Insurance Trap
Most personal representatives don't realise that a standard home insurance policy only offers 45 days cover when a property is left unnocupied. Our team can identify and eliminate the risks with specialist insurance.
Auctions and Property Investors
Personal Representatives are often bombarded by enquiries form property developers who will offer them 'full market value' or '24 hour completion' these are best avoided as they rarely deliver what they promise and always have their own interests at heart.
Auctions on the other hand can be an excellent way to ensure that the right price is achieved, especially for distressed properties or those that need a lot of rennovation. Our expert team can advise on your best route to market.
The Estate Agent Trap
Estate Agents will often try to get you to use their preferred conveyancer - they might even offer you discounted legal fees. But the truth is they are doing this to earn a kickback. We call these firms conveyancing factories. Their systems are designed to buy/ sell, buy/sell and probate transactions simply don't fit their model. They simply break the sausage machine.
Our specialist teams don't work like that - every client - every estate is individual. Probate sales are nuanced and we know exactly how to handle them.
The myth of a Probate Valuation
Executors will often ask an estate agent for a probate valuation. Which can lead to tow - equally wrong outcomes. A low value to minimise inheritance tax now, or a higher value to avoid future capital gains taxes.
HMRC are wise to this and require an open market valuation. Our team can stop you falling into this trap.
