Executors have a duty to get a fair price. We explain our offer in writing so you can compare it with independent advice and show beneficiaries how it was reached.
What affects the price
Grant of representation
A sale can usually only complete once probate or letters of administration are granted.
Title
Unregistered titles need first registration, which adds time.
Beneficiaries
Everyone entitled needs to be considered, and trustees must act in their interests.
Inheritance tax
Tax due on the estate can make timing important, so speak to the estate's adviser.
Choosing how to sell
Outright purchase
A clean, certain sale that lets the estate be wound up.
Subject-to-planning sale
Possible if beneficiaries are happy to wait for a higher price.
Option agreements
Can suit families who want to hold on while planning is explored.
Joint ventures
Rare for estates, but possible where family members wish to stay involved.
