Selling a Tenanted Probate Property

What happens when an inherited property has tenants in place.

First check the tenancy

Executors should establish whether the property is occupied and what tenancy agreement is in place.

Selling with tenants

Some investors and direct buyers may buy tenanted probate property, but owner-occupier buyers may not be suitable.

Legal obligations

Landlord responsibilities continue while the estate owns the property. Rent, deposits, safety certificates and notices may need review.

Best route

A direct buyer familiar with tenanted property can sometimes make the sale simpler where the estate does not want to manage a tenancy long-term.
