Your questions answered
Can executors sell land before probate is granted?
They can agree a sale and start the legal work, but most solicitors won't exchange contracts until the grant is issued, and completion needs it.
Can you deal with our solicitor directly?
Yes. Once you instruct a solicitor, we can work through them.
Will you pressure us to decide quickly?
No. Take the time you need and take independent advice.
Do you cover the villages around Bishops Cleeve?
Yes. Villages between Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
