Sell an Inherited House in Scotland

Selling an inherited home without the extra stress

When someone close to you dies, the house often comes with a long list of jobs: keeping it secure and insured, paying council tax and bills, sorting through belongings and agreeing with the family what happens next. Selling on the open market adds viewings, a Home Report and months of uncertainty on top.

Selling directly to us keeps things simple. You do not need to repair or redecorate the property before we make an offer, and there are no viewings with members of the public.

How the process works for executors

In Scotland, the executor named in the will, or appointed by the court, is the person who sells the property. Before the sale can settle, the executor will usually need Confirmation from the sheriff court, which is the Scottish equivalent of probate.

You can speak to us before Confirmation has been granted. We can make an offer early, and the completion date can be set around the legal process so that nobody feels rushed.

• No viewings, no chain and no waiting for a buyer’s mortgage
