When an inherited home needs your attention
Looking after an empty property
Insurance, maintenance and regular checks can take time, especially when nobody lives nearby. Tell us whether the property is occupied or empty and how soon you would like to sell.
Sorting through belongings
You may need time to decide what to keep, pass on or remove. Let us know if furniture or other belongings remain so any clearance arrangements can be discussed before you commit.
Dealing with repairs
An older kitchen, damp or overdue maintenance can make preparing a property for sale feel like another project. You can request an offer based on its current condition. Share any known issues or reports so they can be considered from the start.
Managing the sale from a distance
If you live outside Greater Manchester, you can start your enquiry by phone or online. Any access requirements and practical arrangements can then be discussed with the people handling the property.
A cash offer to help you weigh up your options
- An offer within 24 hours. Share the property details and we’ll review them, then explain the cash offer and any conditions.
- A decision without pressure. Requesting an offer does not commit you or the estate to a sale.
- The property’s current condition considered. Tell us about repairs and outstanding issues before spending money preparing it for sale.
- Timing discussed around the estate. Your preferred date will be considered alongside the buyer’s checks and the legal requirements.
- A clear explanation of the next steps. If you proceed, the direct buyer purchases the property, with solicitors handling the transfer.
- Seller’s sale legal costs covered. On a completed sale, we cover your solicitor or conveyancer’s fees and disbursements. We do not charge a selling fee.
Compare the offer with your other options
A cash offer may be lower than the price you could achieve on the open market. Consider the amount the estate would receive after any outstanding mortgage, charges and other obligations, as well as the time and work involved in each option. Your solicitor can help you assess what is appropriate for the estate.
