Fast, Stress-Free Sales with Local Cash House Buyers
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is hard enough — and having to sell an inherited house can make it even more overwhelming. If you’ve found yourself responsible for a probate property in Kent, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from the legal steps to how to sell quickly with no hassle.
At House Buyers Kent, we help families across Kent sell inherited properties fast — with no estate agents, no fees, and no stress.
What Is a Probate Property?
A probate property is a home that belonged to someone who has passed away and is now part of their estate. Before it can be sold, the estate usually needs to go through probate — a legal process where the will is validated and the executor is granted permission to handle the estate.
Can You Sell a House Before Probate Is Granted?
You can market a probate property before probate is granted, but you cannot complete the sale until the probate is officially issued. This can take several weeks or even months depending on the complexity of the estate.
If you’re looking for a quick sale once probate is granted, working with a cash house buyer in Kent means you can complete in as little as 7 days.
Common Challenges with Probate Properties
Selling an inherited house comes with emotional and practical difficulties. Common issues include:
• Property condition: Many inherited homes are outdated or need major repairs
• Delays in probate process
• Multiple beneficiaries involved
• Clearing out personal belongings
• Estate agent delays or fall-throughs
