Neil BalmforthBarnsley · Inherited house

An inherited house, and a simpler way to sell.

Neil inherited a dated, run-down two-bedroom semi from his nan. Rather than organise an estate-agent sale, he invited Joel to assess the house.

…he ended up completing the sale 4 weeks later at a price I was more than happy with.

— Neil Balmforth, Barnsley

This seller’s price, costs and timing were individual outcomes, not promises for another sale.

Questions and answers

Inherited property: your questions.

Can you assess the property before probate is granted?

Usually, yes. A proposal can be discussed while probate is progressing, although completion may need to wait for the legal authority to sell.

Do we need to clear the house first?

What if the home needs structural work?
