Sell a probate property in Cheshire

How selling to us works

• Call or email with the address. We'll view within 48 hours and give a written offer the same week.
• You can agree a sale in principle before the grant of probate is issued; contracts exchange once it arrives and we complete on a date that suits the estate.
• We buy as seen. Leave furniture, belongings and the garden exactly as they are; we clear and dispose of everything responsibly.
• No estate agent commission, no legal fees on your side, no renegotiation at exchange.

Things executors ask us

Can the house be marketed before probate? Yes, and we can agree terms, but completion has to wait for the grant. How long does the grant take? HMCTS's published target is 16 weeks for most applications, though simple digital applications are often faster; we'll work around it. Is the house insured and the council tax covered while it's empty? An empty probate property is usually exempt from council tax until the grant and for six months after, but buildings insurance normally needs to be arranged by the executor; check the existing policy's unoccupancy clause.

Cash offer or estate agent?

An agent sale in Cheshire typically takes four to six months from listing to completion once viewings, a chain and a survey are factored in, and empty-house costs run through all of it. A sale to us completes in around four weeks after the grant. Our offer reflects the condition and the work needed, so if the house is in good order and the estate isn't in a hurry, an agent may get more. We'll tell you which we think is right.
