Can I Sell Before Probate Is Granted?

You cannot legally complete a sale before the Grant of Probate is received; probate gives you the legal authority to sell the property.

However, you do not need to wait until probate is granted before contacting Quick Sell Your House.

We can begin the process straight away: carrying out a valuation, preparing all the legal paperwork, and making you a cash offer that is ready to be activated the moment probate is confirmed. Average probate timescales are 6-12 months, though simpler estates can be faster. We can work around your timeline.

For a full guide to the probate process and what to expect at each stage, see our dedicated probate FAQ page.
