Probate Property Sales Solicitors

Probate Property Sales SolicitorsWhen someone dies, their executors or administrators must administer their estate in accordance with the terms of their Will or the Intestacy Rules if they die before making a Will. If the deceased person’s estate comprises property, a key aspect of this role involves deciding how that property should be handled and ensuring that the estate receives the full benefit of it. Our probate property sales solicitors specialise in helping executors or administrators to navigate the legal and practical complexities of selling a deceased person’s home or other real estate assets.

To speak to our experts please call us free of charge on  0800 988 3674 or Make A Free Online Enquiry.

How Can Probate Property Sales Solicitors Help?

Our probate property sale solicitors advise clients on how to deal with estate property as part of our wider comprehensive Wills and probate service. We can take over the administration of the estate for you from start to finish if you wish, or we can help with a discreet process or advise on a specific issue.

Just a few examples of our probate property sales solicitors’ role include the following:

• Determining How The Property Was Owned

If the property was owned jointly by the deceased person and their partner, our probate property sales solicitors will begin by ascertaining the legal basis on which ownership was split. We will do that by examining the property’s title deeds.

If the property was held as joint tenants, it will pass to the surviving owner and will not form part of the deceased person’s estate.

If the property was owned by the deceased person and their partner as tenants in common, the deceased person’s share would form part of the assets to be distributed among the beneficiaries once the estate’s debts and liabilities have been cleared.

“Hi Martin. Just like to say. Your customer conduct and manner have been impeccable all the way through the case .You have kept myself informed all of the way. Everything you said you were going to do you did with professionalism. I would not hesitate to you your services again. Once again. Thank you. “

Mr Johnstone

• Reviewing The Will

Our probate property sales solicitors will review the terms of your loved one’s Will to ascertain whether it contains any instructions detailing what should happen to the property. Your loved one may have wished for the property to be transferred to a named beneficiary, or the property may need to be sold and the proceeds added to the pot to be distributed between the beneficiaries.

• Applying For The Grant Of Probate

Executors cannot sell estate property until they have received the Grant of Probate. The Grant of Probate is the official document that gives executors the right to deal with a deceased person’s assets.

Applying for a Grant of Probate necessitates considerable preparatory work, and the application must be accurate to avoid delays at the Probate Registry. Our probate property sales solicitors will undertake all the relevant preparatory work on your behalf and prepare the application to ensure you receive the Grant as quickly as possible.

While executors cannot exchange contracts and complete the property sale without a Grant of Probate, they can take steps towards selling the property, for example, by putting it on the market. Whether it is a good idea to do so in your case will depend on the circumstances, and our probate property sales solicitors will advise you accordingly.

• Advising Executors On Their Duties With Regard To The Property

Executors must take steps to ensure the property maintains its value pending sale. For example, if the owner’s death means that the property is vacant, the executors may need to arrange insurance cover, secure the property against burglary and vandalism, and make regular visits to the property.

If the executors fail to keep the property safe and well-maintained and it loses value as a result, they may be forced to compensate the beneficiaries from their own pockets. Our probate property sales solicitors will advise you on the extent of your duties in connection with the particular property and explain the measures you should take to fulfil them.

• Arranging For The Property To Be Valued

Executors have a legal duty to act in the best interests of the estate. This includes maximising the estate’s value by achieving the best price for its assets.

It is important to keep a paper trail of the property sale to refer to if any beneficiaries claim that you did not act in the best interest of the estate. Our probate property sales solicitors will arrange for the property to be professionally valued, usually by two estate agents, to ensure a robust valuation. When the property has been sold, we may obtain a certificate from the estate agents who handled the sale, confirming that it was sold for the best possible price. If you sell the property without achieving full market value, the beneficiaries may be able to demand that you make up the shortfall personally.

"Mr Crowley – ‘I thought that any enquiries I had were well-handled expeditiously and professionally - I consider the service provided to be first rate and value for money."

Mr Crowley Residential Conveyancing

    Are you ready for the 2025 Stamp Duty Land Tax Changes?

    From the 1st April 2025 there are changes to the rates relating to Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).

    What are the Key Changes Coming into Effect 1 April 2025?

    Bartletts Solicitors in Chester guide you through extending your property leaseThe threshold will change for property completions that take place after 31st March 2025. These changes will affect both first-time buyers and those purchasing additional properties.

    Here are a few key points to consider.

    Reduction of the Nil-Rate Band

    Starting April 1, 2025, the nil-rate band for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) will decrease from £250,000 to £125,000. Consequently, buyers will be required to pay SDLT on any property purchase that exceeds £125,000.

    Here’s the SDLT rates that you need to know from 1 April 2025:

    • Up to £125,000 = 0% SDLT rate
    • £125,001 to £250,000 = 2% SDLT rate
    • £250,001 to £925,000 = 5% SDLT rate
    • £925,001 to £1.5 million = 10% SDLT rate
    • Above £1.5 million = 12% SDLT rate

    The impact on First-Time Buyers

    Reductions in the scope of first-time buyer’s relief could result in an extra charge of up to £6,250 in Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) for residential properties purchased for more than £300,000. This adjustment aligns with the regulations that were in effect prior to September 23, 2022.

    • first time buyer’s relief will only be available where the purchase price of the property does not exceed £500k (down from the current cap of £625k)
    • the current £425k nil rate band first-time buyer’s relief threshold will fall back to £300k (with the difference being chargeable to SDLT at 5%).
    • In addition, from 1 April 2025, additional SDLT of up to £11.25k will become payable where first-time buyer’s relief can no longer be claimed but could previously (because the purchase price exceeds £500k but not £625k). This is due to the withdrawal of the relief in those circumstances combined with the reduction in the SDLT nil rate banding, as described.

    Changes to Additional Property Purchases

    Buyers purchasing additional properties will continue to pay a 3% surcharge on top of the standard SDLT rates. Understanding the 2025 stamp duty land tax changes, assessing their financial impact, and implementing strategies to manage increased costs are crucial for property investors. By staying informed and proactive, you can navigate the evolving landscape successfully. If you’re planning on purchasing an additional property in 2025, we recommend that you seek professional legal advice on the SDLT changes.

    While we will do everything, we can to help you, please bear in mind that there are factors in the conveyancing process beyond our control, and therefore we cannot guarantee that your transaction will complete before this date. We will not be liable for any additional SDLT payable.

    It’s important that buyers budget for higher SDLT payments, as it could affect their overall purchasing power. Additionally, first-time buyers may find it more challenging to enter the property market, particularly in areas with higher property prices.

    To assist in understanding their SDLT liabilities, we recommend using the updated SDLT calculator here . This tool will help buyers accurately calculate the amount of SDLT they will need to pay based on the new rates.

Buying or selling a property often involves a significant financial commitment, so you need a legal team who understands the local property market, the law, and your needs. Many solicitors’ firms offer conveyancing services, but not all solicitors’ firms are equal.

            I am very satisfied with your service thank you so much.

            Here, we give our top tips for what to look out for to ensure your solicitor has the skills and expertise required to do the job and will provide the levels of client care you deserve at an affordable cost. Those tips are as follows:

            • Check Whether They Specialise In Conveyancing

            When you enter ‘find a conveyancing solicitor’ into a search engine, the results it returns can be overwhelming. It’s important to invest time in reviewing the firms’ websites before deciding who to instruct. One key aspect to check for is that that they specialise in conveyancing work. If they don’t, they may lack the experience required to ensure a seamless, swift transaction.

            At Bartletts, our residential conveyancing solicitors are experts in their field, and are committed to making the conveyancing process go smoothly for our clients. In addition to property sales and purchases, we have vast experience in all other areas of conveyancing law and practice, including lease extensions, low-cost unit schemes, and shared ownership leases.

            • Check Whether They Have Any External Accreditations

            External accreditations can be a strong indicator of a firm’s commitment to excellence. They demonstrate that the firm has met the highest standards of expertise and client care in a specific legal practice area.

            Our residential conveyancing team are accredited by the Law Society for Conveyancing Quality. The Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme is recognised as the quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. To achieve accreditation, we had to demonstrate our compliance with various standards, including conveyancing protocol, practice management, and client service. Accordingly, when you instruct us, you can be certain of the very best legal advice and exceptional client care.

            • Check How They Will Charge You For Their Work

            Understanding how a solicitor will charge you for their work is crucial for effective planning and budgeting. Some solicitors charge on an hourly basis, whereby you pay the solicitor for their time by the hour. Others may agree to undertake the work on a fixed fee basis, whereby you agree a fee for the job at the outset.

            We understand that when you are spending significant sums on buying a new property, the additional costs you need to pay your solicitors can be a cause for concern. However, the conveyancing process is complex and can be full of pitfalls for the unwary. Working with experienced residential conveyancing solicitors like ours will ensure you navigate the transaction effectively and secure a swift completion, saving you time, stress, and money in the long run.

            Our conveyancing solicitors typically work on a fixed fee basis, so you will be aware of your costs exposure from the outset and remain in control. We offer a free, no obligation quote, so you can discuss your matter with us, get a feel for how we work, and understand the level of costs you can expect when you instruct us. You can obtain your quote by telephoning or emailing our conveyancing team or visiting one of our offices.

            • Check What Their Clients Say About Them

            Reading about other clients’ experiences of a law firm can help you decide whether they are the right fit for you. We are proud to have received feedback from clients thanking us for our ‘impeccable’ conduct and manner, praising our ‘excellent service’, and noting our ‘excellent communication throughout’.

              What Does A Solicitor For Conveyancing Do?

              Solicitors for conveyancing play a crucial role in all aspects of the conveyancing process. Examples of the types of tasks our experienced conveyancing professionals regularly undertake include the following:

              • Conducting Searches

              Searches are not a legal requirement, but if you are buying a property with a mortgage, your lender will invariably require you to conduct some. Even if you are a cash buyer, searches are crucial in establishing is that everything is as it should be with the property. Sellers are not obliged to provide the types of information searches reveal and, even if they volunteer it, there are no guarantees that it is accurate.

              There are numerous different types of conveyancing searches, including Local Authority searches, water and drainage searches, environmental searches, planning searches, coal mining, brine and other mining searches, and energy and infrastructure searches.

              Your solicitor for conveyancing will advise you on the searches you require, conduct the searches, advise you on the results, and explain how they impact your proposed purchase.

              • Preparing And Reviewing Contracts

              The seller’s solicitor for conveyancing prepared the draft contract and sends it to the buyer’s solicitor. The draft contract includes details of the property, the names of the seller and buyer, and the agreed sale price. It will usually incorporate the Standard Conditions of Sale, which are generic contractual terms applicable to the majority of conveyancing transactions. The contract may also contain other terms bespoke to the particular deal.

              The buyer’s solicitor for conveyancing will review the draft contract and advise the buyer on its meaning and effects. If the buyer’s solicitor believes that amendments are required to protect their client’s interests, the legal advisors will negotiate the amendments until a final contract has been agreed.

              • Handling Funds

              Once the buyer is happy with the form of the conveyancing contract, they will transfer the agreed deposit to their solicitor for conveyancing. The solicitor will then hold the funds ready for exchange and completion.

              • Exchange And Completion

              Exchange and completion are key milestones in the conveyancing process. At the time of exchange, the seller’s and buyer’s solicitors for conveyancing swap the conveyancing contractual documentation, usually over the phone. The transaction is now legally binding on both parties.

              Completion is the date on which the conveyancing process completes and ownership of the property transfers from the seller to the buyer. Completion usually takes place between one and two weeks following exchange. Your solicitor for conveyancing will take care of the legal requirements of completion and notify you when the deal is done.

              What Makes A Good Solicitor For Conveyancing?

              Whilst property is bought and sold every day, the conveyancing process can be complex and full of traps for the unwary. It’s essential that your chosen solicitor for conveyancing has the experience required to ensure your transaction proceeds as quickly and smoothly as possible. We have been advising clients on conveyancing matters for over 160 years, and have vast experience in all conveyancing matters, including buy-to-let transactions and remortgaging.

                How can solicitors for selling a house near me help?

                When you are investing considerable sums in purchasing a house, you are understandably keen for the transaction to proceed swiftly, seamlessly, and with the minimum of stress. Conveyancing law and practice can be complex and confusing, so having a solicitor whose advice and judgment you trust can be invaluable.

                Our dedicated conveyancing team, with its wealth of conveyancing expertise and deep insight into the local property markets, is committed to assisting clients in Liverpool, Chester, Wrexham, and further afield in buying and selling houses. We will guide you through the process from start to finish, pre-empting any issues before they become problematic and ensuring everything runs smoothly. We are approachable and friendly, and are always on hand to answer any of our clients’ queries or concerns.

                Examples of the types of tasks we regularly undertake for our clients include the following:

                • Preparing documentation

                Conveyancing transactions involve a considerable amount of documentation, all of which must be accurate to ensure your rights are protected and avoid disputes down the line. Our conveyancing solicitors meticulously prepare all types of conveyancing documentation each and every day, so you can rest assured that the paperwork they draw up will be watertight and effective and protect your position to the fullest extent possible.

                Two of the primary documents involved in conveyancing transactions are the Contract of Sale and Transfer Deed, details of which we set out below:

                • Contract of sale

                The contract of sale is a key document in conveyancing transactions. It sets out crucial information such as details of the parties, a description of the property, the sale price, any special conditions, and the completion date.

                Our conveyancing solicitors will arrange for you to sign the contract of sale in advance of exchange and hold it until you give your approval to exchange and completion.

                • Transfer Deed

                The Transfer transfers ownership of the property from the seller to the buyer. Once the buyer’s solicitors have received the signed Transfer Deed from the seller, they will forward it to the Land Registry, who will update the Land Register with the new owner’s details.

                • Undertake searches

                Conveyancing searches, which you might also see referred to as ‘property searches’, provide detailed information about the house you are planning to buy. Our conveyancing solicitors will advise you on the types of searches relevant to your transaction, carry them out on your behalf, and talk you through the results.

                If you are not purchasing the property with the help of a mortgage, you are not legally obliged to undertake any conveyancing searches. However, it’s usually sensible to do so to ensure you are equipped with all the information you need to make an informed decision about your purchase. If you are purchasing the house with a mortgage, your lender will invariably insist on you undertaking conveyancing searches so they can protect their investment.

                The most common types of conveyancing searches include the following:

                • Local Authority Search

                A Local Authority Search covers a number of pertinent issues, including any planning applications, building regulation approvals, and whether there are any enforcement notices registered against the house.

                • Environmental Search

                An environmental search contains details of any environmental issues relating to the property, such as flooding risks or contaminated land.

                • Drainage and Water Search

                A drainage and water search reveals, among other things, how water is provided to the property and whether there are any sewers, mains, or drains within the property’s boundaries.

                • Exchange and complete

                The final stages in a conveyancing transaction are referred to as exchange and completion. Our conveyancing solicitors will carry out the processes for you, ensuring you are kept updated throughout.

                Exchange is the point at which the transaction becomes legally binding. Nowadays, solicitors usually exchange contracts over the telephone. On the date of completion, the funds to cover the purchase price are transferred to the seller’s solicitor, following which ownership of the property will be transferred to you. The seller must vacate the property by 1pm on the day of completion, and the buyer can then move into their new home.

Everything you said you were going to do you did with professionalism. I would not hesitate to you your services again. Once again. Thank you.

                  What do our residential conveyancing solicitors do?

                  Our residential conveyancing solicitors routinely assist clients with a wide range of property matters, including the following:

                  • Buying and selling property

                  Buying a property can require a significant investment, so you need residential conveyancing solicitors whose advice you can count on to ensure your transaction proceeds smoothly. Our residential conveyancing solicitors not only possess an outstanding understanding of conveyancing law and procedure, but we also have an intricate knowledge of the local property market. This makes us ideally placed to offer both legal and practical advice to help you make informed decisions about your sales and purchases.

                  Our residential conveyancing solicitors strive to make the conveyancing process as stress-free as possible for our clients. We will provide regular updates on the progress of your matter and will always be on the end of the phone to answer any queries or concerns you may have.

                  • Leasehold enfranchisement

                  Leasehold enfranchisement is the process through which long leaseholders of properties within a building join together to buy the freehold. You may also see the process referred to as ‘collective’ or ‘freehold’ enfranchisement.

                  Leasehold enfranchisement offers a range of notable benefits, including the opportunity to take control of your building and make important decisions relating to how it is managed, extending the term of your lease, increasing the value of your property, and tapping into additional income streams by granting lease extensions to other long leaseholders. However, owning a share of their building might not be the right choice for everyone. The initial outlay required can be significant, and owning a building brings additional responsibilities that you must have the time and desire to fulfil.

                  To qualify for leasehold enfranchisement, you must satisfy several legal criteria and not fall within one of the exclusions. The process itself must be managed in accordance with strict rules that require you to calculate the value of the freehold in accordance with a special formula and serve notices containing specific information. Our residential conveyancing solicitors specialise in this niche area of law. We will explain the pros and cons of the procedure and help you decide if it is the right course of action for you. If you choose to proceed, we will guide you through the process, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations, fully protecting your rights, and dealing with any issues that arise.

                  • Lease extensions

                  The majority of homeowners who own their property on a leasehold basis do so under long residential leases. A long lease is one that is initially granted for a period of at least 21 years. Once you have held your long residential lease for at least two years, you are legally entitled to an extension.

                  Mortgage lenders do not like short leases, so when the term of your long residential lease drops to around 80 years, it’s a good idea to start thinking about extending it. If you don’t, you may struggle to remortgage or sell your property. Once the term drops to below 60 years, the likelihood of securing a mortgage decreases significantly, and, with it, your chances of selling your home. Furthermore, your landlord will likely charge you for agreeing to a lease extension. Generally speaking, landlords will demand a higher payment to extend leases with shorter terms left to run than those with longer terms remaining.

                  Our residential conveyancing solicitors regularly assist clients in securing lease extensions on extremely favourable terms. Depending on the circumstances, we might negotiate an extension with the landlord, or we might rely on your statutory rights. Relying on your statutory rights is often the best option, since the terms of your original lease will remain unchanged, and you are entitled you to an extension of 90 years. However, we will carefully discuss each option with you in plain English and advise you on which is best for you.
