Even though inheriting a property is a well-intentioned gift from the person who has passed away. It can cause a lot of stress and become a tiring and costly process. The inherited house may require a lot of work. Most likely a house clearance will be required, and if the ultimate plan is to sell it on. Then there may be costs upfront that cannot be recouped for a long time after the sale.
Serene Sale can remove the stress of selling an inherited property in any condition. We can have everything tied up and completed on the purchase within as little as 7 days.
When a loved one passes away, all of their assets are entered into their estate. This means that everything the person owned can be passed on to their family or whoever is nominated in their will. A property is usually the largest asset in an estate, so it is very important that everything is managed professionally and correctly.
The probate process usually takes 1 to 3 months depending on the complexity of the estate. It can then take longer to close accounts, sell property and pay taxes.
A probate is a legal right to deal with someone’s property, money, and possessions (their estate) when they die. No financial plans or the listing of a property on the market should be made without the completion of probate.
Once the probate is complete, it is up to the person who has inherited the house to decide what to do. There is the option to add the property to the market through an estate agent. But the time it takes to sell a house can be very long if essential work is required on the property. This will need to be completed before the property can be sold on the open market.
In some cases, inherited houses have been left empty for some time or have fallen into disrepair. It’s important to get quotes and consider just how much repairs might cost. And how long it may be before that money can be repaid from the sale of the property.

Whenever anyone inherits a property, it is important to seek professional advice. Tax advice is important because sometimes people are unaware of what tax they need to pay. If people make a profit from inheriting anything of value, such as property, then they may need to pay inheritance tax. An accountant or professional tax advisor will be able to help further.

Serene Sale can assist by helping people protect the profit they stand to make from an inherited property, by purchasing this property within a very short timeframe. This means that extra costs can be avoided if a property were to sit vacant, especially in poor condition.
The more money that is spent on mortgage costs, utility bills, council tax, and fixing problems in the property before selling, the less resulting profit there will be. Property renovations also rarely come in on budget and excessive amounts of money can be wasted.
Not only does Serene Sale help avoid costly situations, but there is also peace of mind in knowing that there is a guarantee in place. Once a final price is agreed upon for a property, this does not change. Serene Sale uses its own private funding, so they do not need to search for a buyer. This means that there is no requirement for any viewings and all that needs to happen is for one survey to be undertaken to assess the condition and value of the property.
Once the survey is complete, the price is finalised, the legal process is completed, the required sum of money is transferred to the solicitors by Serene Sale, and completion of the sale of the house takes. Very simple and hassle-free.
