Why Selling an Inherited Property Can Feel Overwhelming.

Selling an inherited property is nothing like a normal house sale. The legal process is unfamiliar, the property is often unmodernised or has problems, and every month it sits empty it costs the estate money. Most buyers either walk away from the complications or don’t understand the probate process well enough to deal with them.

Augusta Probate is built for exactly this. Founded by a former probate lawyer and experienced property buyer, we handle the legal complexity, the property problems, and the time pressure that comes with an inherited property sale.

We make a cash offer, cover your solicitor fees and clearance costs, and complete on your timeline. If we are not quite the right fit, we can help you find the right buyer via our extensive network.

The Properties We Buy

Structural Problems

Subsidence, heave, cracked walls, movement, failing foundations. We don’t need lengthy surveys. We buy as is.

Poor condition

Damp, fire damage, hoarding, no heating, outdated electrics, asbestos. Our cash offer won’t be subject to any repairs or upgrades.

Title defects

Unregistered land, missing deeds, boundary disputes, restrictive covenants. Our in house legal team can help resolve these during our purchase.

Unmortgageable

Concrete construction, steel frame, pre-fab, short lease, Japanese knotweed, flood risk. As cash buyers, these issues do not prevent us from completing quickly.

Tenanted or occupied

Sitting tenants, ASTs, informal occupants. We buy with tenancies in place. No vacant possession required.

Probate not yet granted

We agree a price, can exchange contracts immediately with completion taking place the moment the Grant is confirmed. This gives you peace of mind and certainty from the outset.

Full of belongings

The property hasn’t been cleared and you’re not ready to do it yet. We buy without requiring clearance. If you need time to go through your loved one’s belongings, we can arrange secure storage so you can do it when you’re ready.

We can cover your solicitor fees and property clearance costs on every purchase.

How do you sell an inherited property in the UK?

To sell an inherited property in the UK, the executor or administrator must first obtain a Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration. Once granted, the property can be sold through an estate agent, at auction, or directly to a specialist cash buyer such as Augusta Probate. A specialist buyer can often complete within days and will purchase in any condition, which is useful when the estate is under time pressure, the property has complications, or holding costs on an empty property are mounting.

From Our Founder

“Most people don’t realise how much is involved in selling an inherited property until they are actually in that position. IHT deadlines, beneficiaries who may disagree, and often a property in poor condition that is costing money every month it sits empty.

That’s why we built Augusta Probate. We understand the probate process inside out, we buy properties in any condition, and we complete at a time to suit you.”

Common Questions About Probate Property

Can you sell a house before probate is granted?

In most cases, a property cannot legally transfer ownership until probate has been granted. However, it is possible to prepare the property for sale and agree terms with buyers while waiting for probate approval.

Do executors have to sell inherited property?

Executors are responsible for acting in the best interest of the estate and its beneficiaries. This may involve selling the property, transferring ownership to beneficiaries, or retaining the property depending on the circumstances.

How long does probate take in the UK?

Probate timelines vary depending on the estate and documentation required, but the process typically takes several months. Property sales can occur once probate has been granted.
