Managing the assets of someone who has passed away can be a complicated and emotionally challenging task.
We understand that during such a difficult time, it is vital for sellers to know that they can fully rely on an experienced estate agent who will efficiently manage every step of selling a property at probate.
Edward Mellor Probate Services has provided a friendly helping hand to clients selling at probate for over 30 years.
Our services cover both pre-sale management and end-to-end sales options. This allows us to offer a unique, flexible service based on how much or how little you would like us to be in the sale of your probate property.
Managing a home being sold at probate can be a daunting task, especially if the vendors do not live near the property itself.
You can rely on Edward Mellor to lend a hand and save you the hassle of attending the property in person. We can assist in looking after the property whilst you decide how to move forward.
If required, and for as long as needed, we can arrange for*:
Even if you don’t decide to sell your property through Edward Mellor, our pre-probate services are available to you.
However, if you do decide to sell your probate property with us, we can manage your sale from start to finish, from helping to decide on the best sales strategy to marketing and achieving the best possible price.
There can be several solutions to unlocking the maximum value from your probate property.
These can include sale via private treaty on the open market, selling at auction or even retaining the property and renting it out.
As trusted experts in property sales and management, our team will help you decide on the best route forward for you, based on the condition of the property and your overall property goals.
Once you decide to sell, we’ll manage every step of the process, taking the burden away from you and your family so that you can focus on moving forward.
During the sale of your probate property, we’ll take care of absolutely everything. From the marketing of the property through to completion, you can be sure you’re in safe hands.
Our caring and thoughtful service covers:
To keep you informed and guide you through the sales process, you will have a single dedicated point of contact within our auction team.
They will provide you with regular updates on your property sale, be there to support you, and answer any questions you may have throughout your time with us.
While selling your property, we’ll develop a unique market strategy based on local market conditions, the condition of your property and your individual goals and circumstances.
We have a database of almost 300,000 potential buyers, meaning we are ideally placed to market your property directly to the right buyers.
Furthermore, we promote our properties across our social media channels, with a combined following of over 31,547 followers.
We advertise all of our properties on Rightmove, one of the leading property portals in the UK. Rightmove gets over 130 million visits every month.
Most of our clients opt to sell their probate properties at auction.
Auction sales offer speed and certainty of sale. Once a buyer agrees to purchase a property by submitting a winning bid, they are legally obliged to complete the sale.
This means the risk of probate sales falling through is minimised due to the buyer putting down a 10% non-refundable deposit prior to exchanging their contract.
Best of all, once the sale of a property completes, vendors can expect to see the funds from their sale in their accounts within just 28 days!
We’ve had great success at helping our clients sell at probate, generating some great sales prices and, most importantly of all, providing peace of mind.
We’ve achieved some staggering sale prices for clients who have sold probate properties through our North West auction – but don’t just take our word for it.
Let’s take a look at auction seller Chris Bulmer. Chris lost his mother and wanted to sell the family home as quickly as possible.
He put the property up for sale with a high street agent, and after three months grew frustrated as the property had received little interest.
Chris then contacted Edward Mellor Auctions, and within weeks, his property had sold for £15,000 more than he had expected!
Watch Chris’s auction success story below.
We have branches within Stockport, Greater Manchester & Tameside, and Cheshire, meaning we are local to most areas.
Our fantastic online presence through our website and social media means we are able to market the property with confidence that it will receive the maximum level of exposure to achieve a sale.
When it comes to selling at Auction, we have a proven track record of selling across England and Wales.
Regardless of where your property is located, our expert auction team would love to hear from you.
We understand you’ll probably have a few more questions about the services we offer and how they can help you best.
