Probate property sale in Southampton
Property Law Online acts for executors and administrators selling an estate property in Southampton. The executors or administrators obtain the grant themselves; we run the sale conveyancing, and timing is agreed with the executors, the buyer and the buyer's lender.

Conveyancer
An estate property in Southampton 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 Southampton City Council), and keep the buyer's conveyancer moving throughout.
