Home / Situations / Inherited property

Inherited or probate

Selling a home you inherited, without the strain.

Losing someone is hard enough. Then a property lands in your name, full of a lifetime of belongings, and it becomes your job to deal with it. We buy inherited and probate properties anywhere in Scotland, in any condition, clear them completely, and pay every fee, so the estate is settled cleanly and you are not carrying it alone.

We understand the situation

An empty house is a weight, not an asset.

While a property sits waiting to be sold, the bills keep coming. Council tax, insurance, standing charges and the long drive to check on it. And every visit means walking back into a house full of memories.

There is no rush from us and no judgement. When you are ready, we make it simple, wherever the home is in Scotland.

How we help in this situation

Three steps, at your pace.

We can start the conversation before confirmation (Scotland's version of probate) is even granted, so you are ready to move the moment it comes through.

01
📜

We wait for confirmation (probate) with you

Confirmation of the estate can take months in Scotland. We give you a cash offer now and hold it open, so you are ready to complete the day the paperwork clears. No pressure to rush the legal side.

02
📦

We clear the whole house

You take the photos, letters and keepsakes that matter. Leave everything else exactly where it is. We handle the full clearance, so you never have to fill a skip or empty a wardrobe.

03
💰

We settle cleanly for the estate

One firm price, all fees paid by us, funds sent to the solicitor handling the estate. Simple to divide between beneficiaries, with a clear paper trail for everyone.

A real story

The probate flat that had not changed in years.

An inherited tenement, full of furniture, with three siblings living in three different cities. They did not want the drive, the clearance or the endless viewings. We bought it, cleared it, and the solicitor split the proceeds three ways.

  • Nobody did a single viewing
  • The full house clearance was handled for them
  • Proceeds divided cleanly between the beneficiaries

Why families choose us for probate and confirmation sales

The reasons executors call, then relax.

🔧

No renovation needed

Dated decor, an old kitchen, damp in the back bedroom. None of it matters. We buy inherited homes in any condition, anywhere in Scotland, so you spend nothing getting it ready.
🤝

Fair and simple to divide

A single clean sum makes splitting between beneficiaries straightforward. No haggling over a buyer's mortgage or a chain that might collapse halfway through.
💬

Handled with sensitivity

One point of contact who knows the situation, moves at your pace, and never pushes. This is a difficult time, and we treat it that way.
Cash first, then the truth

Every postcode, every condition, one honest figure.

We buy inherited homes in every town and postcode across Scotland, whatever state they are in. A cash offer is a little off the open-market headline, but once the months of empty-house bills, the agent and legal fees and the clearance costs come out, what the estate actually keeps is closer than it looks, and every one of those costs is on us. Below open-market value, with no fees to pay.

If the estate can wait and the open market or auction would net more, we will tell you honestly, even when it means we are not the ones buying.

"We dealt with Ryan who we found to be helpful, knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly. We recommend this company to anyone."

Probate and confirmation questions

What executors and beneficiaries ask us.

We can start the process and give you a cash offer before confirmation comes through, then hold it open so you are ready to complete the moment the legal side clears. We cannot complete the purchase until probate or confirmation is granted, but everything else can be lined up in advance so there is no waiting once it is.
No. Take the belongings that matter to you and leave the rest. We buy the property exactly as it stands, furniture and all, and handle the full clearance ourselves. You never need to book a skip, hire a van or spend a weekend sorting cupboards.
We pay one clean sum to the solicitor handling the estate, and they distribute it between the beneficiaries according to the will. A single certain figure with all our fees already covered makes that division simple, and everyone sees the same clear paper trail.
Being straight with you: a cash offer is not the full open-market headline. But once you count the months of bills on an empty house, the estate agent and legal fees, and the clearance costs, what the estate actually keeps is closer than it looks, and every one of those costs is on us. If the estate can wait and the open market or auction would net more, we will tell you honestly and can help you sell that way instead. Many executors still choose the cash route because it removes the cost, the effort and the uncertainty at an already difficult time.

Settle the estate without the strain.

A free, no obligation cash offer within 24 hours. We wait for confirmation, clear the house, and pay every fee. Move at whatever pace feels right for you.
