Selling an inherited property
In Scotland, instead of probate the executor applies for Confirmation — the Sheriff Court document that grants authority to sell. You can accept an offer beforehand, but the sale can't legally settle until Confirmation is granted, which can take weeks to months. Braehold can agree a price and hold it while that runs its course, so you're ready to complete the moment you have authority. (In England & Wales the equivalent is a Grant of Probate.)
Why a cash sale suits an inherited home
- No need to clear or repair — we buy as it stands, contents and all.
- No months of viewings or an empty home sitting insured and unsold.
- A fair, fixed offer so you can plan the estate around a known figure.
- No estate agent fees, and we cover the legal costs.
Worth knowing
An inherited sale can involve Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax, and Scots "Legal Rights" can affect who inherits. We're property buyers, not solicitors or tax advisers — please take proper legal advice, and we'll fit around it.
Common questions
Can I sell an inherited house before Confirmation or probate is granted?
You can accept an offer, but the sale can't legally complete until Confirmation (Scotland) or a Grant of Probate is issued.
Do you buy inherited homes that need clearing or repair?
Yes, in any condition — you don't need to empty or fix the property first.
Are there any fees?
No fees, and we cover the legal costs. Speak to a solicitor about any tax.
How fast can you complete?
Once you have the legal authority to sell, often within a couple of weeks.
