🏡 ASK A PROPERTY EXPERT: “I've inherited a house. What do I do with it?”

It's a situation many homeowners never expected to find themselves in.

Do you keep it? Rent it? Renovate it? Or sell it?

Before making that decision, establish the basics: the legal position, whether probate is required, who has authority to sell, whether anyone occupies the property and what it's realistically worth today.

Then comes the interesting question:

If the property needs significant modernisation, should you spend the money doing it yourself?

Not necessarily.

There can be a big difference between “this property needs work” and “this property needs work before it can be sold.”

Depending on your priorities, selling in its current condition may be an option too.

👇 What would you do with a dated property you'd inherited?

KEEP IT | RENOVATE IT | SELL IT

How much is a less stressful house sale worth?

Because selling isn't simply about agreeing a price.

There's everything that happens afterwards.

Enquiries.

Solicitors.

Questions.

Chasing.

Completion dates.

And plenty of moments wondering:

“What's happening now?”

For Megan, having people actively managing those things made a huge difference.

“It just took so much off my shoulders to know that there's other people who are really on top of it on my behalf.”

She even jokingly described some of the reassurance as “minor counselling.”

Probably something anyone who's bought or sold a house can relate to. 😂

The right way to sell isn't just about the destination.

The experience getting there matters too.

Selling a house can be stressful.

Megan's experience?

“It just took so much off my shoulders to know that there's other people who are really on top of it on my behalf.”

She even described some of it as “minor counselling.” 😂

📰 WHAT THE HEADLINES DON'T TELL YOU

You might have seen this:

“HOUSE PRICES RISE 0.7%” 📈

Sounds like the property market is bouncing back.

But there's something important hiding behind that headline.

Firstly, these are new seller ASKING prices — not the prices homes actually sold for.

And the same Rightmove report tells us:

🏡 More homes are for sale than at this point in 12 years

👀 Buyer enquiries are 9% lower than a year ago

📉 Average asking prices are still 0.8% below last year

⏱️ The average property took 64 days to find a buyer in August

So what does the market actually look like?

More sellers competing for fewer buyers.

That's a very different story.

It doesn't mean houses aren't selling.

They absolutely are.

But if you're thinking about moving, don't make your decision based on whether the latest national headline has a 📈 or a 📉 beside it.

What matters is:

What's happening to properties like YOURS, in YOUR area, at YOUR price point?

That's your market.

👇 Do you think property headlines give homeowners a misleading picture of what's really happening?

YES / NO



Rightmove reports the September 0.7% rise applies to average asking prices of newly listed properties; the other figures above come from the same September index.

“It's not something I would normally do.”

That's probably our favourite part of Duncan's testimonial.

Because Duncan isn't someone who would normally sit down and publicly praise a company.

But after everything was concluded, he wanted to.

His verdict:

“The operation, the whole process that I went through, they deserve the praise that they get from me.”

Duncan had already seen the positive reviews online before using us.

Having now experienced the service himself?

“There's obviously a reason for that.”

And perhaps the best compliment of all:

“You give the service that we are looking for.”

Thank you, Duncan.

Praise means even more when it comes from someone who doesn't normally give it.

“I can't put my house up for sale until I've found somewhere to buy.”

You can.

And in some circumstances, finding your dream home before you've worked out how you're going to sell your existing one can create the bigger problem.

Imagine it:

❤️ You find THE house.

💷 You make an offer.

🎉 It's accepted.

Then the agent asks:

“What's happening with your property?”

And your answer is:

“We haven't put it on the market yet.”

You're now competing against buyers who may already be:

✅ Under offer
✅ Chain-free
✅ Ready to proceed

That doesn't mean everybody should sell before they've found somewhere.

But you can prepare.

Understand what your current home is realistically worth.

Know your selling options.

Work out your finances.

Get yourself into the strongest possible position.

Because the best time to work out how you're going to move probably isn't after you've fallen in love with the house you want to buy.

👇 What would you do first?

SELL 🏡 or FIND 🔎?

“Are these actually real customers?”

It's something Tony had seen people questioning online.

He'd read our reviews, but he'd also come across comments suggesting that perhaps the people behind them weren't genuine.

When Tony spoke to Alex, he raised it himself:

“That can't be right because we are real people with real stories.”

And Tony has pretty much summed up why we started filming these conversations.

We can tell you about British Homebuyers.

We can explain how our different selling options work.

And you can read hundreds of customer experiences online.

But there's something different about actually seeing and hearing a homeowner talk about their experience in their own words.

No actors. No employees pretending to be customers.

Just homeowners like Tony telling their own stories.

🏡 You sell your house for £500,000. How much money have you actually got?

It's surprisingly easy to focus entirely on the headline sale price.

But that's only one part of the calculation.

Mortgage balance.

Selling costs.

Solicitors.

Stamp duty.

Removal costs.

Your next deposit.

New mortgage payments.

Work required on the next property.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is starting a move and only working all of this out properly afterwards.

You don't just need to know:

“What's my house worth?”

You need to know:

“If I sell for that amount, does the move I actually want work?”

The earlier you understand that, the better decisions you can make.

**“Absolutely five-star recommendation.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**

There's something particularly nice about Peter's testimonial.

When we asked whether he'd recommend British Homebuyers to someone else, there was no hesitation.

**“Highly recommended for sure.”**

But then Peter added something that made the recommendation even better:

**“Don't get me wrong, I would say if there was something wrong.”**

😂

In other words, this wasn't someone simply telling us what he thought we wanted to hear.

It was his genuine opinion after experiencing the service.

His conclusion?

**“I'm happy.”**

That's exactly why we love sharing these conversations.

Don't just read what a company says about itself.

Listen to the people who've actually used it.

🏡 If you didn't already live in your house… would you choose to buy it today?

Interesting question, isn't it?

Maybe you've outgrown it.

Maybe your circumstances have changed.

Maybe you'd choose another location.

And yet moving feels like such an enormous undertaking that staying put seems easier.

Psychologists call this status quo bias.

We have a tendency to prefer what we already have because changing it involves uncertainty.

That doesn't mean you should move.

Staying might genuinely be the best decision.

But it's worth separating:

“I want to stay here.”

from:

“Moving feels too difficult.”

They're not necessarily the same thing.

👇 Honestly — would you buy your current home again today?

**If you'd had 35+ viewings and STILL hadn't sold, what would you do?**

That's where Becky found herself.

She'd been trying to sell from March through to the summer.

More than 35 viewings.

A couple of offers.

Sales falling through.

And months later, she still hadn't achieved what she needed.

In Becky's words:

**“We felt that we were having a lot of time being wasted.”**

Then she received one of our letters.

She decided she had little to lose by trying a different approach.

**Within three days, she'd sold.**

Sometimes maximum price is the priority.

Sometimes speed and certainty become increasingly important.

And sometimes you've simply reached the point where doing more of the same doesn't make sense.
