  1. How to Make an Offer on Probate Properties in the United Kingdom in 2023 Probate properties are properties that are being sold by the executor of a deceased person’s estate. In the United Kingdom, making an offer on a probate property is a slightly different process than making an offer on a regular property. Here are the steps you can take to make an offer on probate property in the UK: Find probate properties: You can find probate properties by searching property websites or working with a local estate agent who specializes in probate properties. Research the property: Once you find a property that interests you, do your research. Look into the local property market and find out how much similar properties have sold for in the area. You should also investigate any potential issues with the property, such as structural problems or legal disputes. Get in touch with the executor: The executor of the deceased person’s estate will be responsible for selling the property. You can contact them through the estate agent or solicitor handling the sale.

  2. Make an offer: When you’re ready to make an offer, you can do so through the estate agent or solicitor. Your offer should be in writing and include any conditions or contingencies you have, such as a survey or mortgage approval. Negotiate: The executor may counter your offer, so be prepared to negotiate. You can continue to negotiate until you reach an agreement that works for both parties. Get a solicitor: Once your offer is accepted, you’ll need to hire a solicitor to handle the sale's legal aspects. Your solicitor will handle the exchange of contracts and transfer of ownership.

  3. Complete the purchase: After you exchange contracts and pay the deposit, you’ll need to complete the purchase. This will involve paying the remaining balance and any associated fees, such as stamp duty. It’s important to note that the probate process can take longer than a standard property sale.
