Questions
we get asked
Can we sell before probate is granted?
You can usually prepare and even market the home, but settlement generally cannot happen until the executor has authority to sell. Your solicitor will confirm the position for your estate.
Who signs the agency agreement?
Usually the executor or executors named in the will. We can include other family members in updates if the executor wishes.
The house is full of belongings. Where do we start?
With a conversation. We can recommend services to sort, store, donate and remove, and we only bring in what the family is ready for.
Should we renovate before selling?
Rarely more than a clean, a tidy garden and minor repairs. We will show you what buyers pay for and what they do not.
