Selling a home after the death of a loved one is never easy, emotionally or legally. If you’ve been named as an executor or are handling a deceased estate, navigating the probate property sale process can feel overwhelming.

At Kuavo Estate Agents, we regularly assist families and executors with selling probate properties in North Liverpool, including areas such as Maghull, Anfield, Walton, Norris Green, Fazakerley, and surrounding postcodes like L4, L9, L11, and L10.

Here’s a clear step-by-step guide to help you understand the process and how our team can support you every step of the way.

What Is a Probate Property?

A probate property is a home that belonged to someone who has passed away. The sale of the property can only go ahead once probate has been granted, this is the legal process that gives the executor authority to manage and sell the estate.

Step-by-Step Guide to Selling a Probate Property

1. Apply for Grant of Probate

The executor (or solicitor) must apply for and receive a Grant of Probate. This can take several weeks or months, depending on complexity. If the deceased didn’t leave a will, the process involves applying for Letters of Administrationinstead.

Tip: You can list the property for sale while waiting for probate, but completion cannot occur until the grant is received.

2. Get a Probate Valuation

A formal property valuation is usually required for Inheritance Tax purposes. At Kuavo, we offer accurate probate valuations in North Liverpool that are HMRC-compliant.

3. Prepare the Property for Market

If the property has been empty for some time, we can assist with:

  • Decluttering or clearance
  • Basic repairs or staging advice
  • Checking compliance certificates (EPC, gas safety if applicable)

4. List the Property for Sale

Once the property is ready, we will:

  • Professionally photograph and list the home across Rightmove, Zoopla, and our website
  • Market it to active buyers and investors in the North Liverpool area
  • Arrange and manage viewings with sensitivity and discretion

5. Negotiate Offers and Handle Sale Progression

Our experienced team will negotiate offers on your behalf and guide the sale through to completion, liaising closely with solicitors to ensure a smooth process once probate is granted.
