After a subdued end to 2025, the first quarter of 2026 has quietly rebuilt confidence in the housing market. March may be the strategic launch point sellers have been waiting for.

Managing a probate property while coping with loss can feel overwhelming. This gentle guide explains the key steps, realistic timescales for 2026, and what to expect when selling a home as part of an estate.
