Every inherited property situation is unique. Here are the most common bereavement property sale circumstances we assist with across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Recent Bereavement
You have inherited a property and need to sell quickly to distribute the estate or simply move on with your life.
Complex Estates
Multiple beneficiaries, overseas heirs, or disputes over the will. We work with solicitors to ensure a smooth sale.
Unmodernised Inherited Homes
The property has not been updated in decades. You do not have the time, energy, or budget to renovate before selling.
Tenanted Inherited Properties
You have inherited a property with sitting tenants and want a clean break without the responsibilities of landlordship.

You live far from the inherited property and need a buyer who can handle everything remotely and efficiently.

Once probate is granted, we can complete in as little as 2 weeks. If you need funds urgently for care fees or inheritance tax, speak to us — we may be able to structure an advance or fast-tracked completion.
