If two or more people inherit a property together, for example, siblings inheriting their parents’ home, all beneficiaries will need to agree on the sale price and terms before a sale can proceed.

We Buy Any House works with all parties to reach a fair agreement. If agreement cannot be reached, a beneficiary can apply to the court for an Order for Sale, a legal process that compels the sale of the property.

Our team can advise on the options available and help facilitate a resolution that works for everyone involved.
