Sell an inherited apartment without the extra hassle

What needs to happen before the sale?

The inheritance is handled by a notary. Once the succession has been formalised, the heir is entered in the Land Register (kinnistusraamat) as the apartment’s owner — only then can the apartment be sold. If there are several heirs, every co-owner has to agree to the sale.

You can ask us for an offer while the succession is still in progress. That way you know early on what to expect, and the heirs can agree on whether to sell without being rushed.

• succession formalised at a notary
• heir entered in the Land Register as the owner
• all co-owners agree to the sale

Why sell an inherited apartment to a direct buyer?

Inherited apartments are often unrenovated and full of old furniture. Getting one ready for sale — clearing it out, renovating, holding viewings — takes time and money, especially when the heirs live in different places.

We buy the apartment as it is. You don’t need to empty or renovate it, and the deal can be signed by remote notarisation if not all heirs can come to the notary.

Costs and taxes

With us there’s no commission, and we pay the notary and transaction fees. Whether the sale creates a tax liability depends on your situation — the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (EMTA) or the notary can give you the details.
