OpenCommon questions
- Can I sell before probate is granted?
- You can market and agree a sale, but completion normally needs the grant of probate. A fast-sale buyer is used to working to that timeline and can complete quickly once it’s in.
- Is an empty inherited home a risk?
- Yes — standard insurance often lapses after 30–60 days of being unoccupied, and council tax may apply. A quick sale removes the holding cost and risk.
- Will there be tax to pay?
- There may be inheritance tax on the estate and capital gains tax on any increase between the probate value and the sale price. The CGT tool gives an estimate; take advice for IHT.
