Your Complete Guide to Selling an Inherited House in Norfolk

Inheriting a house can be a blessing — but also a burden.

You may need to clear it, deal with probate, cover bills, and decide whether to keep, rent or sell.

Here’s a straightforward guide for Norfolk homeowners facing this situation.

1. Sort Out Probate

Before you sell, you’ll need to apply for probate (unless the house was owned jointly and passes automatically).

It can take a few weeks to several months, so start early.

2. Clear the Property

Get quotes for clearing furniture and rubbish.

Tip: Don’t start major renovations unless you’re sure you want to sell the traditional way.

3. Decide How to Sell

✔️ Estate Agent: Good if you can wait and the house is in good condition.

✔️ Auction: Good for older houses needing work or with unusual features.

✔️ Cash Buyer: Good if you want certainty, speed, and to avoid repairs.

4. Watch Out for Bills

You’ll need to keep paying council tax, insurance, and utilities until the sale completes.
