One Buyer, One Figure, One Date the Whole Family Can Agree On
Most estates do not stall on the paperwork. They stall on the house. An open market sale drags on for months, beneficiaries start disagreeing about the price, and the property keeps drawing money out of the estate the entire time. A direct cash sale gives the executor a fixed figure to put in front of everyone, backed by proof of funds, so the decision gets made once and then stays made.
What we handle for the estate
- A written offer within 24 hours, fixed rather than subject to a survey or a lender’s valuation.
- Direct contact with your probate solicitor, so enquiries are answered in days rather than chased for weeks.
- Full house clearance at our cost, including furniture, paperwork and anything left in the loft or garage.
- Completion timed to the estate, whether that is the week after the grant or three months later.
What the estate stops losing
- Council tax, which many councils now charge at a premium once a home has stood empty long term.
- Unoccupied property insurance, which usually requires someone to physically visit every 7 to 14 days.
- Estate agency commission, marketing costs and the months of standing charges that come with a listing.
- The risk of a buyer withdrawing halfway through because their own mortgage or chain fell apart.
What Separates a Real Cash Buyer From a Lead Broker
You do not need the grant in your hand to start, and you do not need to have agreed anything with the other beneficiaries yet. Our four step process gives you a real number to work with first, so the family decision is made on facts rather than guesswork.

Probate Sales We Deal With Every Week
Pennine Investments is a property investment company based in Manchester, buying inherited and probate property across the North West and the wider UK. We buy as a principal with our own funds, which means the offer you receive is ours to honour and not a lead passed on to somebody else.
We work with executors named in a will, with administrators appointed where there is no will, and with families who have already been on the open market and had a buyer walk away over the probate timeline. We also buy where the house is jointly inherited and the siblings want out cleanly.
Condition genuinely does not matter. We buy properties left empty for years, properties still full of belongings, houses with damp, dated wiring, failed roofs, short leases, subsidence history or non standard construction, and inherited buy to lets with tenants still paying rent.
How We Help With Inherited Property Sales
Every probate sale brings its own obstacle, whether that is a house full of belongings, a lender waiting on a mortgage balance, or three beneficiaries who cannot agree on a figure. We have bought inherited property in all of those situations and none of them slow the sale down. Here is where the pressure usually sits and how it gets removed.
Waiting on the Grant of Probate
Terms can be agreed now and the offer stays open while probate runs its course. Nothing expires and nothing gets renegotiated, so the sale is ready to complete the week your grant arrives.
A House Full of Belongings
Take whatever the family wants to keep and leave the rest exactly where it is. Furniture, paperwork, loft contents and garage clutter are all removed at no cost to the estate.
Poor Condition or Refurbishment Needed
Damp, dated wiring, a failed roof, a short lease or years standing empty. No repairs, no redecorating and no survey condition that reopens the price at the last minute.
Probate Solicitors and Legal Enquiries
Enquiries on title, boundaries, lease terms and any outstanding charge are answered within days. Your conveyancer deals with a buyer who already knows the probate process.
Multiple Beneficiaries to Satisfy
One fixed figure, issued with proof of funds, that every beneficiary can see and verify. No competing valuations, no drawn out family debate and a clean split on completion.
Inherited Tenanted Property
Buy to lets and HMOs are purchased with tenants in situ, so the estate keeps collecting rent and nobody has to serve notice or cover a void period.
Why Choose Pennine Investments for Selling Inherited Property
We buy with our own funds as a principal, not as a broker passing your details to somebody else. That matters more on a probate sale than on any other kind, because the figure we quote is the figure we are responsible for honouring, and your solicitor can verify our proof of funds before anything is signed.
We also understand that the grant of probate sets the timeline, not us. Terms can be agreed early and our offer held while the Probate Registry does its work, with no expiry date attached and no attempt to reduce the price once you are committed. There is no lender, no mortgage valuation and no survey condition, so nothing can reopen the price at the last minute.
The practical side is covered too. The house is cleared at our cost with the contents left exactly where they are, we buy in any condition including properties that have stood empty for years, and we cover your standard legal fees. For executors that means no money leaving the estate before completion and nothing to arrange from a distance.
Get a Figure the Whole Estate Can Work With
Whether the grant has already arrived or you have only just found the will, we can give you a firm cash offer today with proof of funds attached. No pressure, no fees, and no obligation to go any further with it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we sell before probate is granted?
You can agree the sale and run most of the legal work in advance, but completion waits for the grant. We hold our offer in the meantime at no cost.
How long does the whole process take?
Straightforward estates take roughly three to four months for the grant, longer where tax or a contested will is involved. Once it arrives we usually complete in 2 to 3 weeks.
What if there is no will?
A close relative applies for Letters of Administration, which gives the same authority to sell as a grant of probate. We deal with administrators regularly.
Do we need to clear the house first?
No. Take whatever the family wants and leave the rest exactly as it is. Clearance and disposal are handled at our cost.
There is still a mortgage on the property. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The outstanding balance is redeemed from the sale proceeds on completion and the rest passes to the estate.
