FAQs

When you inherit a property, there are important legal and financial steps to consider before selling. Probate (called confirmation in Scotland) must be completed before you can sell the property. You may also need to address inheritance tax and capital gains tax depending on the property's value and your circumstances. If the property has a mortgage, payments must continue during probate, and the mortgage must be transferred or refinanced. We can advise you on these matters and help you sell your inherited property quickly. Learn more about inheriting and selling property.

When selling an investment property, landlords need to consider timing, the condition of the property, and whether it has tenants. FastBuy Properties offers quick purchase options that can help landlords sell smoothly and profitably, avoiding lengthy market processes. Preparing the property well and understanding tax implications, such as Capital Gains Tax, are important.
