Inherited a property? We’ll take it off your hands, and off your mind
Losing someone is hard enough. You shouldn’t also have to become an unpaid property manager while the sale drags on.

An inherited home brings maintenance, insurance, security and council tax, and selling it can be slow and uncertain, especially if it needs work. SwiftStone buys inherited properties in any condition. You don’t need to clear, clean or repair anything. We buy it as it is and deal with the rest.
The reality of inherited homes
A house that an older relative lived in for decades often has problems that make it hard to sell on the open market: old wiring, no EPC, damp, structural concerns, a lot of belongings, or years of put-off maintenance. Those problems put off buyers who need a mortgage, and their lenders.
As a cash buyer, we don’t need a lender's approval. We buy knowing exactly what we're taking on, so there are no nasty surprises for either side.
Probate and legal complexity
- We can agree a sale before the grant of probate is issued, then complete as soon as it comes through.
- If there are several beneficiaries, we work with all of them (or their solicitors) so everything stays fair and clear.
- If you need it, we can arrange a probate valuation for HMRC purposes.
- We can arrange house clearance at our cost if you’d like us to.
