How one family sold their inherited home with Habello

After the passing of their parents, Chris, Pete and Sue inherited the family home. With each sibling living in different parts of the UK, clearing the home and coordinating a sale became complicated, time-consuming and expensive. None of them wanted to move in, and the cost of maintaining an empty property during probate was adding up fast, and dealing with the property on top of everything else was taking its toll on everyone involved.

  • A way to sell the property without needing to travel
  • A sale that didn’t require them to clear or repair the house beforehand
  • A flexible timeline that would work alongside the probate process
  • A fair offer that could be split equally between them
  • A way to avoid the delays and complications of using an estate agent
  • One sibling submitted the property details to Habello on behalf of all three.
  • A cash offer was provided within 24 hours and held until probate was granted.
  • The home was sold as-is, with no clearance or repair work required
  • Completion took place 7 days after probate.
  • Funds were split evenly between the siblings.
  • No agent fees or back-and-forth negotiations — just a simple, shared outcome.
This is an example scenario based on real situations that we regularly help with.

Selling your inherited property FAQs

Do I need to clear or clean the property before selling?
No. Once you’ve removed anything you want to keep, we’ll purchase the property as-is. There’s no need to deep clean, clear furniture, or prepare the home for viewings.
What if there’s still a mortgage or loan on the property?
Outstanding loans or mortgages won’t stop us from making an offer. You can choose to use part of the funds from the sale to settle any debts, but this has no impact on our ability to purchase.
Can the money be split between family members?
We can pay into multiple bank accounts or work with your solicitor to make sure everyone receives their share.
Does the sale have to wait until probate is complete?
Not necessarily. You can start the process with us before probate is finalised. We’ll review the details and prepare your offer, and once probate is granted, we can move quickly to complete the sale.
What if there are multiple people named as beneficiaries?
We work with one nominated person to manage the sale on behalf of everyone, but we’re happy to keep other parties informed and ensure the process works for all involved.
What if we’re not all in agreement about selling?
All legal owners must agree before a sale can proceed. If you're not quite ready, we can still prepare an offer and give you time to discuss it with your family.
