Selling inherited property

For inherited property, first clarify ownership, documentation and the scope of the sale. Is the whole property being sold, or one owner’s share? This determines how an offer should be prepared.

What we consider when preparing an offer

Status of the inheritance and ownership documentation
Number of owners and their intentions
Use, condition and running costs
Related agreements and obligations

What to send us

Address and basic property information
Available ownership and inheritance documents
Information about other owners and occupants

What to know before deciding

Whether a transaction can proceed depends on the rights and documents in place. With multiple owners, their rights and any required arrangements need review. A telephone offer does not resolve inheritance or co-ownership disputes.

How to prepare your property for an assessment

First explain the stage reached in the inheritance process and who is involved in the sale decision. With several owners, clarify whether the whole property or only your share is being offered. Start with a summary; the notary can clarify the documents and participants needed for the particular transaction.

For an empty property, gather information about keys, bills and maintenance. Agree one communication channel among the heirs to avoid conflicting instructions to the buyer. Decide which items are included before removing belongings. If documents or bills are missing, say so and allow time to obtain clarification.

What to clarify before a final offer

Gather available inheritance records and participant contacts. Ask the notary who must take part and which steps remain unfinished. One relative wanting to sell does not establish that everyone else is ready.

Clarify whether the whole property or a share is being offered. Agree who provides access, sorts belongings and gathers records. Exclude personal keepsakes from included items before viewings. Review tax treatment for each seller separately: a valuation and sale proceeds do not replace evidence of personal expenditure.

What happens next

Send the initial details. We review them, clarify missing information and arrange a viewing where needed. The final price, payment arrangements and handover are agreed before the notarial transaction.

How direct property purchase works

Frequently asked questions

Can I enquire before the inheritance is documented?

You can make an initial enquiry and explain the stage of the process. The ability to sell and the timetable depend on the ownership position and documentation. Ask the notary which steps must be completed before selling.

What if there are several heirs?

Clarify who owns the property and whether the whole property or only a share is being offered. Include the available ownership information. Disputes or differing intentions require a separate assessment of whether a sale can proceed.

When is the price final?

An offer based on photos and a description is preliminary. We confirm the final price after reviewing the necessary information and the condition of the property. Any newly discovered material issue is discussed before completion.

Who pays the transaction costs?

In a direct purchase, we cover the agreed notary and registration costs. Existing loans, debts and other seller obligations are considered separately, and the payment arrangements must be agreed before completion.
