It’s time everyone understood probate.

You specialise in probate; we specialise in solving your client's probate property problems, including clearance, maintenance, selling the property and expert conveyancing.

Your clients rely on your expertise to navigate the probate process, from assessing the need for probate to handling application forms, inheritance tax forms, and submissions. Our probate property portal allows you to gather information on the property to flag any issues with the land registry such as unexpected charges or other names on the title.

Clients trust you to guide them through this challenging time.

But when your client needs to deal with the practical aspects of the property, or sell or transfer ownership of the property, you’re let down by multiple other companies.

Described as "Best in Class" by our existing referrers, we act as a one-stop-shop for probate property. Our services include clearing the property, valuing contents and vehicles, drain-downs, unoccupied property insurance, changing locks, fitting keysafes for estate agents and garden maintenance. We can offer repairs and even a full renovation if necessary, maximising the estate value for your clients.

Importantly, we offer a NO-UP-FRONT-FEE model, whereby the costs are deferred until completion, subject to signing to sell via Sail.

The ability to offer this via Sail can help you win business.

Estate agents list the property before the grant application has been made, potential buyers aren’t made aware of a realistic timeline, conveyancers insisting your client completes a property information form.

All of these issues come crashing down on you to resolve, your client is exhausted, it’s the same things eating into your time again.

You need things handled differently, you need everyone to understand probate.

We’re a nationwide estate agent & conveyancer, dedicated to the probate industry.

Sail Homes & Sail Legal are where things happen differently, we understand what it takes to see probate sales & transfers through to their successful completion.

Sail Homes (the agent) understand that the marketing of a property, photos & feedback is a sensitive matter.

We’ll compassionately work with your client to market their property under terms they are happy with, paying close attention to the timing and ensuring it lines up correctly with any Grant application and other family matters.

We’ll set expectations with buyers so they know the circumstances of the sale and how it affects them, there-by reducing the risk of fall through on common concerns that can be remedied at the start.

Sail Legal (the conveyancer) understand the complexities around who can sell the property and the evidence that is required.

We’ll proactively head off enquiries from the purchaser that are not appropriate in probate and will use the same compassion, support and expertise that everyone at Sail shows to our customers.
