selling house

[bazzard]

I'm clearing a mortgage-free house I've inherited & will begin probate, as soon as all the associated finances are in order. I've decided on my estate agent & had a preliminary interview/rough price. I will ask my solicitor to deal with the legal side. I will not be buying another house. Are there any steps I can be taking already, before probate is granted, to speed up the process, please?

Home Information Packs are now compulsory for all houses being "marketed" through estate agents, newspaper advertisements, internet sites, so you could check through your estate agent what's required and start pulling the information together. Interestingly, HIP's are not required if the sale is made privately, between friends, relatives or if you are approached by somebody wanting to buy the property. If you Google "Home Information Packs, the government webtsite can give more info.

Will start on my HIPs documents, thank you.
