Inheriting a property often comes at one of the most emotionally difficult times in life. Alongside the loss of a loved one, you may be faced with probate, legal paperwork, family discussions, ongoing costs, and difficult decisions about what to do next. It can feel overwhelming — especially if the property is empty, in poor condition, or shared between multiple beneficiaries.

At Jeffries Property Buyers, we help people sell inherited property sensitively, discreetly, and without pressure, once the time is right for you and all relevant parties are in agreement.

Selling an Inherited Property – Your Options Explained

There is no rush to make snap decisions when you inherit a house. In most cases, you will need to go through probate before a sale can complete, and it’s important that you receive appropriate legal advice during this process.

Once probate has been granted — or if you are close to that stage — many executors and beneficiaries choose to sell because:

• The property is empty and deteriorating
• Ongoing costs such as council tax, insurance, utilities, and maintenance are adding up
• The house requires extensive repairs or modernisation
• There are multiple beneficiaries and a clean sale is the simplest solution
• The property is located far away, making management difficult

If selling is the right option, we can help you move forward calmly and efficiently, with a clear, transparent process.

How Jeffries Property Buyers Can Help

We specialise in purchasing inherited homes directly, meaning no estate agents, no viewings, and no chains. Our service is designed to reduce stress at an already challenging time.

We can help if the inherited property is:

• Vacant or unoccupied
• In poor condition or dated
• Still undergoing probate
• Owned jointly by multiple beneficiaries
• Difficult to sell on the open market

Once instructed, we work alongside your solicitor to ensure the process is handled correctly and respectfully.

Selling During or After Probate

You do not always need to wait for probate to be fully completed before starting discussions. In many cases, we can agree terms in principle while probate is ongoing, allowing the sale to proceed quickly once legal authority is granted.

We regularly work with:

• Executors
• Solicitors
• Beneficiaries
• Power of Attorney holders

This ensures the sale is compliant, fair, and structured correctly for all involved.

A Simple, No-Pressure Process

1. Initial conversation – A confidential, no-obligation discussion about the property
2. Property assessment – No intrusive viewings or open days
3. Clear offer – No hidden fees or last-minute renegotiations
4. Timescale to suit you – Completion when you’re ready
5. Support throughout – We liaise with solicitors to reduce admin and stress

Our goal is not just to buy the property — it’s to make the process as straightforward and calm as possible.
