Sell inherited or probate land in Catford
We buy inherited land across Greater London. In Catford, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
Inherited land is land that has passed, or is passing, to someone under a will or the rules of intestacy. Executors or administrators usually need a grant of representation before they can complete a sale, and all beneficiaries' interests need to be considered.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide

The things that move our offer

Tax due on the estate can make timing important, so speak to the estate's adviser.

The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.
Common problems, and how we handle them
Probate hasn't been granted yet
We can agree terms and start the legal work so the sale is ready when the grant arrives.
The deeds can't be found
Missing deeds can be dealt with through first registration with supporting evidence. Your solicitor will guide this.

Common questions
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.
