The Next Steps...
There is no immediate rush to sell, however, costs do accrue for keeping the property in good order so as soon as Probate is granted, we offer help and advice on the best route to market.
Generally, two or three valuations are required to determine what the value of the home is and what impact that may have on inheritance tax. We’ll co-ordinate our own Estate Agency to value the property and if required, co-ordinate for a RICS probate valuation. We’ll also hold keys to allow access for other valuations if required.
Once the value has been agreed, we can market via Auction or the Open Market. Auction is often the chosen route as it provides a definitive market value, immediate exchange of contracts and a set completion date.
