Why does selling an inherited property feel so 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
Dealing with one of these? Tell us about it
Structural problems
Subsidence, heave, cracked walls, movement, failing foundations. We don't need lengthy surveys. We buy as is.
Poor condition
Damp, fire damage, disrepair, properties that have stood empty for years. Condition does not change whether we make an offer.
Title defects
Missing title, unregistered land, restrictive covenants, boundary disputes and rights of way. We deal with the legal complexity.
Unmortgageable
Short lease, non-standard construction, no kitchen or bathroom. We buy with cash, so a lender declining is not an obstacle.
Tenanted or occupied
Sitting tenants, family members still living in the property, or an occupier who will not leave. We buy with the occupier in place.
Probate not yet granted
You can talk to us and agree terms before the grant is issued. We will tell you honestly what can and cannot be done before it arrives.
Full of belongings
A lifetime of possessions still in the house. We clear the property at our own cost. You do not need to empty it first.
We 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.

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. You can prepare the property for sale, market it and agree terms with a buyer while you wait, but you cannot complete. GOV.UK advises against putting a property on the market until the grant is issued, so treat any agreed terms as provisional.
- Do executors have to sell inherited property?
- No. Executors are responsible for acting in the best interest of the estate and its beneficiaries, not for selling by default. Depending on the circumstances that may mean selling the property, transferring ownership directly to beneficiaries, or retaining it. The right answer depends on the will, the beneficiaries' wishes and what the estate owes.
- How long does probate take in the UK?
- Probate usually takes 6 to 12 months for a typical estate, and longer where there is a property to sell. Getting the grant itself is only part of it: the estate still has to be valued, tax settled and assets distributed afterwards. A property that needs repair, has a title defect or sits in a chain will extend that timeline further.

From Krish, 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.
