Connect UK Auctions provide
a bespoke Probate Service
Property probate service – how it works:
Probate properties are particularly well suited for sale by auction. Generally, clients wish to sell the property as swiftly and efficiently as possible. Selling at auction not only facilitates a quick sale, meaning beneficiaries can receive their share of the estate quickly, it also provides the best possible price upon conclusion.
The process of selling an estate via probate is an emotional strain and worry for the family and beneficiaries, but is always handled with the upmost sensitivity and sympathy.
Our tailored probate service is carefully packaged to deal with every part of the process, taking away any stress or burden from the client.
We are able to maintain and manage the property, prior to sale, by ensuring the needs of the client, the property and insurance regulations. This sensitive time requires a trustworthy and knowledgeable team, while the key objective is to ensure the best price is received, in any given timeframe required by the client.
We deal with all residential and commercial properties, providing an immediate exchange of contracts and completion within 28days.
We sell residential and commercial properties with immediate exchange and completion within 28days.

“The choice between auction and conventional sale with its risk of a potential chain was made clear, after a discussion with Connect UK Auctions. The options were all fully presented and options fully explained; this was of great benefit to those not used to the property market. The legal pack was prepared by a solicitor instructed through Connect UK Auctions with the same solicitor handling the sale process on my behalf through exchange of contract at auction to completion. I was most impressed by the service provided by the staff who were at all times patient, polite and most willing to assist in all aspects of the process. My property achieved a very good price at auction and completed in a matter of weeks. I would, most certainly recommend their services to anyone potentially looking to sell their property.” Mr Richardson

- GARDEN MAINTENANCE If needed, we have contractors to ensure the externals of the property are well presented.
- METHOD OF SALE Professional advice will always be given. We will advise on the best method of sale, depending on the property. Whether this is by auction or by informal tender we will always be here to discuss all options.
- ONE TO ONE CONTACT During the process you will never be left in the dark. Communication with the client/ family is paramount. You will be given your own personal probate contact to aid you at all times, through such a difficult period.
- EPC All properties will require an up-to-date Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) - We will organise this and supply copies and links to the required parties if appropriate.
