I know it can’t be marketed, but we may be able to get a valuation.

Hi Richard, it is good to hear you are doing OK. You have been through a lot. It is easy for me to intellectualise about it, but you are having to deal with the feelings and memories your Aunts belongings will generate for you, never easy. Yes, once you have a valuation, your solicitor will be able to tell if the estate is liable for death duties or not. It is only my view, but now is the best time to get a low valuation in the run up to Christmas, the election and Brexit. We had a flat in Margate on the market for sale. We had to take it off for the winter and because buyers were wanting us to drop our price. We are not in a hurry and can wait. Hopefully when everything is known about the next government and Brexit goes through, house prices will shoot up. Take care.
