Easy Move Homes — Inherited Property Specialists

Easy Move Homes specialises in buying inherited property across the UK. We've worked with hundreds of families and executors over the past five years — handling estates ranging from a single terraced home to multi-property portfolios, properties in poor condition that need clearing before sale, and complex multi-beneficiary inheritances. We understand the emotional weight of selling a parent's or relative's home, and we adapt our pace to yours — there's no pressure, no chasing, no rushed decisions.

Our process is built around the practicalities of probate. We can begin the sale process before the grant of probate is issued — agreeing terms with the executor, conducting our valuation, and lining up legal checks — so that as soon as probate is granted, we're ready to complete within 7–21 days. We work directly with your chosen probate solicitor, or can recommend one if you don't have one. Our legal team coordinates everything so you don't have to chase paperwork between offices.

We make a fair, written cash offer based on the current market value of the property, its condition, and the type of probate process involved. There are no fees, no chain risk, no last-minute deductions. We cover all standard legal costs up to £1,500. As members of the National Association of Property Buyers (NAPB), The Property Ombudsman, the NRLA, and ICO-registered for data protection — we operate to the highest standards in the industry. A named owner stands behind every transaction.

Common Situations When Selling Inherited Property

Every estate is different — but these are the most frequent situations families and executors bring to us.

Multiple Beneficiaries:

Estate Divided Between Multiple Beneficiaries

When a property is left to several siblings, cousins, or co-beneficiaries, agreeing on an open-market sale can be slow and contentious. A cash sale gives everyone a fixed, known timeline and a clear figure that can be divided after legal fees. We work neutrally through your solicitor — no individual beneficiary feels pressured to accept or reject an offer.

Distant or Difficult Location:

You Live Far From the Inherited Property

Many of our clients inherit a property in a different city, country, or while based abroad — and can't easily manage repairs, viewings, contracted utilities, or estate-agent meetings. We handle everything remotely: surveys, paperwork, communication with the solicitor, completion. You don't need to travel to the property. Funds transfer directly to your solicitor.

Property Needs Clearance or Renovation:

The Property Needs Clearance or Repair

Inherited homes often need significant work — clearing personal belongings, accumulated possessions, repairs neglected during a long illness, dated decor that would put off open-market buyers. We buy properties exactly as they are. You don't need to clear the home, organise a house clearance, or pay for any work. We handle clearance after completion if it's helpful to you.

Inheritance Tax Pressure:

Inheritance Tax Deadlines Are Approaching

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is due within six months of the date of death — earlier than many families expect. If the estate doesn't have enough liquid assets to pay it, selling the inherited property fast is often the only practical option. We work to timelines aligned with HMRC deadlines so the estate isn't charged interest for late payment.

The Probate Process — What You Need to Know

Selling an inherited property follows a different process than selling your own home. Here's how each stage works, and where we fit in.

Death Certificate & Will Reading (Days 1–30):

After registering the death, the executor named in the will (or appointed by the court if no will exists) collects the death certificate and confirms the contents of the will. The estate's assets — including any property — are identified and valued. Property valuation can begin at this stage. We can already start discussions with the executor.

Application for Grant of Probate (Months 1–3):

The executor submits an application to the Probate Registry along with an estate valuation. This grants legal authority to deal with the estate's property and finances. We can agree terms with the executor during this period — conducting our valuation, beginning legal checks, and preparing the paperwork for completion.

Grant of Probate Issued (Months 3–6):

Once probate is granted, the executor can legally transfer or sell the property. This is when completion of a sale can actually happen. With Easy Move Homes, completion typically takes 7–21 days from the grant of probate, since all our preparation is already done.

Distribution of Estate (Months 6–12+):

After the sale completes, funds are held by the solicitor while Inheritance Tax (if applicable) is paid and outstanding debts are settled. The remainder is distributed to beneficiaries according to the terms of the will.
