One of the hardest things about bereavement is that there are so many things to do so soon after your loss. We can give you the help you need when it comes to your property.
Bereavement causes many changes in the lives of those who are left behind. Whether you have lost a parent, a child, a sibling, a close relative or a friend, the consequences of their loss are often as unexpected as the bereavement itself.
Property is often one of the most hotly-contested issues on bereavement. If there is a will in place, it will usually state who is to benefit from the property. In many cases, it's straightforward – the property ownership goes to the surviving spouse or partner who is usually also a joint owner. In others, property may have been left to children, grandchildren or other relatives.
If the person dies without a will, or “intestate”, the law decides who is to benefit from the property that's left behind. Again, in most cases it's clear-cut whilst others are more complex.
If you have inherited a property, there might be several reasons why you need to sell it – and sell it quickly:
A joint inheritance – If the property has been left to two or three people, it needs to be divided between them. The simplest way to do this is to sell the house and divide the proceeds between the heirs.
Affordability – you may have had a property left to you, but that doesn't mean you can afford to keep it. If there is still a mortgage on the property you will need to assume responsibility for it, and you will also need to consider the running costs, including heating, water and council tax costs.
Distance – unless you can use the property as a weekend or holiday home, it could be impractical to keep it if it is a long way from your own home. The time taken to travel there regularly to make sure the property is in good condition and remains secure may not fit into your current lifestyle.
At Freedom Property, we handle the sale of inherited properties with sensitivity and discretion. We realise that, even though you may not want to keep the house, it may have sentimental value to you and we will treat the sale with respect. We will buy the property directly from you, regardless of location or condition so that you can release the cash you need to settle the estate or bring the matter of the property to a close.
