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.

This data shows a clear north–south split in UK housing supply. Homes for sale are rising across London and the South, while much of the North is seeing stock fall. The contrast raises questions about affordability, confidence, and whether higher supply in the South could limit house price growth into 2026.

With plans announced to raise the council tax surcharge on higher-value homes, this snapshot looks at how many £2m-plus properties have actually sold across the UK this year.

With Easter just around the corner, now is a strategic moment to prepare your home for market, before buyer demand peaks and properties move fastest.
