The Cost of Selling a Probate Property As-Is
What Selling As-Is Means
Selling a property as-is means offering it in its current state, without cleaning, repairs, or staging. While it may seem faster, it often results in lower offers from speculators.
How Speculators Benefit
Speculative buyers look for under-valued properties they can flip for profit. Selling as-is allows them to reap substantial gains, leaving the estate and beneficiaries with significantly less.
Financial Losses Families Can Face
Selling without preparation can reduce estate value by tens of thousands of pounds. Missed opportunities from poor presentation, lack of marketing, or ignored minor repairs can cost families dearly.
The Benefits of Professional Staging and Marketing
Professional cleaning, repairs, and staging increase appeal, attract serious buyers, and drive competitive offers. Combined with targeted marketing through experienced estate agents, the estate receives its full potential value.
Case Studies of Successful Sales
Estates we have managed that were professionally prepared consistently achieved higher offers and faster sales than those sold as-is, proving the value of strategic preparation.
