Probate property sale in Bristol

We handle the conveyancing when executors or administrators sell a property from an estate in Bristol: the contract pack, the buyer's enquiries, exchange and completion. Timing is agreed with the executors, the buyer and the buyer's lender.

An estate property in Bristol can be marketed before the grant of probate or letters of administration is issued, but the sale cannot complete without it. Executors may exchange contracts before the grant, with completion waiting for it; administrators may not exchange until the grant issues. Timing is agreed with the executors, the buyer and the buyer's lender.

We prepare the sale pack, flag the empty-property practicalities the executors need to deal with (insurance conditions, utilities, council tax with Bristol City Council), and keep the buyer's conveyancer moving throughout.
