Understand the property's likely sale price and what valuation evidence the estate may need.
Hermens Property · London and Surrey
Our role is to help executors make informed decisions about the property, its condition and the work needed before a sale or handover. Every instruction is tailored to the property, with contractor costs and any Hermens coordination fee explained before work is authorised.
01
Hermens can discuss likely asking prices, condition and marketing strategy. A retrospective date-of-death valuation for inheritance tax or estate accounts may require a suitably qualified independent valuer.
02
Executors should gather the property address, tenure, floor area where known, relevant lease or title information, condition details and any previous valuations.
03
Market conditions and the property's condition may change while an estate is administered. A current estate agency appraisal should not be presented as the historic probate value.
Tell us the address, who is authorised to instruct work and what needs attention. We can discuss the relevant services and agree a sensible sequence, whether you need one quotation or coordinated preparation for a sale.
Hermens provides property-related services, not probate legal advice, reserved probate work or legal estate administration. Where a formal tax valuation, regulated advice or specialist work is needed, an appropriately qualified independent professional should be appointed.
