Probate Property FAQs

Common questions about managing an empty property during probate

Who looks after a property while probate is being dealt with?

The executor or personal representative remains responsible for the estate, but practical property tasks can be arranged through a specialist provider. Oakmere Estates can coordinate inspections, access, keys, maintenance and sale preparation on the authorised client's instructions.

How often should a vacant probate property be inspected?

The right frequency depends on the property, insurer requirements and the circumstances of the estate. Many vacant-property insurance policies require regular visits, so the policy conditions should always be checked and a suitable inspection schedule agreed.

Can Oakmere arrange access for estate agents, surveyors or contractors?

Yes. Oakmere can coordinate authorised property access, including key collection or holding and attendance arrangements for estate agents, valuers, surveyors and approved contractors.

Can Oakmere prepare a probate property for sale?

Yes. Depending on the property and client instructions, Oakmere can coordinate cleaning, gardening, clearance, minor maintenance, access and other practical work needed before marketing.

Does Oakmere work nationwide?
