Why Connect RealTime® works so well for probate properties

Probate can be an overwhelming time – emotionally, legally, and practically. When a property is involved, the process often becomes even more complex. That’s why many families choose auction: it provides clarity, certainty, and a fast, controlled sale with zero risk of fall-through.

Our dedicated probate service is designed specifically for individuals handling an estate. We manage every step for you,  from preparing the property, to arranging legal support, to securing the best result on auction day. Our goal is simple: remove stress, maximise value, and give you full confidence at every stage.

Choose the timescale that suits your probate process

  • Fixed completion: 30, 60 or 90 days
    Choose a timeline that suits the estate’s needs. 30 days for rapid resolution, 60 days for mortgage buyers, and 90 days for maximum exposure and strongest pricing.
  • Faster, more efficient estate administration
    No chains. No slow negotiations. No fall-throughs. Once the hammer falls, the sale is legally binding, allowing you to progress the estate without delay.
  • Competitive bidding for maximum beneficiary value
    Auctions create urgency and visibility, attracting motivated buyers and securing fair, transparent market value for estate assets.
  • Upfront legal information
    All documents are prepared and available before bidding, ensuring buyers conduct full due diligence, reducing disputes, queries and last-minute complications.
  • Mortgage buyers can participate
    Unlike traditional auctions with 28-day completions, our 60 and 90-day options allow mortgage buyers to bid confidently, increasing the buyer pool and driving competitive interest.
  • Transparent, compliant and easily reportable
    Every bidder receives identical information, creating a defensible audit trail and complete clarity for executors, beneficiaries and professional advisers.
  • We handle everything from the moment you contact us
    A dedicated probate specialist guides you throughout. Our service removes stress during a difficult time and ensures nothing is left to chance.

Probate Auctions

Frequently asked questions

Probate properties perform extremely well at auction because the sale is transparent, competitive, and legally binding the moment the hammer falls. There is no risk of fall-through and no long negotiation process. This gives executors confidence and helps beneficiaries receive their inheritance sooner.

You choose the completion timeline that suits your probate progress.

  • 30 days – ideal if probate is granted or nearly complete.
  • 60 days – allows time for outstanding paperwork while keeping the sale moving.
  • 90 days – perfect if probate is still in progress, giving you a buyer without delaying legal administration.

Exchange happens immediately at auction; only completion is delayed.

Yes. You can sell the property at auction before probate is granted, as long as completion takes place after the grant is issued. Most executors choose a 60 or 90-day completion period in this scenario.
Not at all. Probate properties often attract more interest because they are chain-free and usually straightforward to purchase. Our bidder qualification process ensures all interested parties are serious and financially ready.
No, not immediately. We can arrange content disposal, cleaning, garden maintenance, and general property management as part of our probate package. Families can take their time sorting sentimental items while we prepare the property for sale.
We provide regular updates throughout the marketing period, including exactly how many verified bidders have registered. This gives you a clear understanding of the expected performance long before auction day.
Funds are released to the estate’s solicitor once the buyer completes the purchase, typically within 30, 60, or 90 days depending on your chosen timeframe.
Yes, but if you do not already have a solicitor, we can appoint a probate specialist for you as part of our service. They will handle the legal aspects and ensure a smooth completion.
We offer a free, no-obligation auction valuation carried out by a probate auction expert. The valuation considers market conditions, comparable sales, property condition, and auction demand.
No. Once the hammer falls, the exchange is legally binding. The buyer cannot pull out without significant financial penalty. This is one of the main reasons executors prefer auction over estate agent sales.
Yes. You can choose a reserve price and the property will not sell below this amount. The reserve is agreed with you in advance to ensure the estate is fully protected.
