Well have to send hubbies will to probate . Have to send a form detailing his assets and this looks straightforward . |

Ann that is way over the top I think most estate agents will not charge if you explain what has happened its far too much if I was you I would shop around good luck |

I suggest that you call into another agents and tell them you're thinking of selling then ask them to value. |

That is a rip off, either do as suggested and don´t tell that you arent selling or check a Zoopla average. |

I am presently acting as executor. (And not for the first time.) To value the home I walked up and down the local high street and made a note of the prices of all similar properties. |

I don't think Inheritance Tax is payable on the family home, if it is going to a surviving spouse. |

Might be an idea to look for other houses that have been sold near you then you can get an some idea of value. |

Need to check to be double sure, but I agree with Bob that if all jointly owned assets are going to the survivor then there's no IHT to pay at that point, only on the second death. |

But as tenants in common I don't automatically inherit his half of the house . He can will it to anyone although they can't sell the house without my consent |

Just say you're considering down-sizing. To make it more plausible, ask them about fees etc. if you advertise through them |

I was in the same position with tennants in common when my husband died, one Estate Agent quoted £250 for a valuation for probate! So I went to another firm and told them I wanted a valuation as I was thinking of moving and needed an idea of what the property was worth first so I could look around. They were happy to come and do a free quick valuation and if I wanted to proceed they would call again to measure up etc. |
