In brief
How do you sell an inherited property with REVAA?
Every case starts with a written valuation, handed to the notaire and shared identically with each heir. REVAA then prepares the sale, targets the right buyers and supports the family through to signing.
You are an heir or a joint owner
- · Know what the property is worth, in writing
- · Decide whether to keep, let or sell
- · Sell without dividing the family
You are a notaire, lawyer or court-appointed administrator
- · A reasoned valuation for the file
- · Firm offers to resolve a disagreement
- · A written report at every stage
Your situation
Six situations, six sales strategies.
No two estates are alike. The strategy depends on how far the heirs agree, the condition of the property and the tax calendar.
1/
Estate being settled
A written valuation to decide whether to keep or sell, then a sale prepared with the notaire.
2/
Joint owners in disagreement
A well-supported market value and real offers: common ground, and leverage for the lawyer.
3/
Vacant estate or court-appointed administration
Valuation and buyers provided to the administrator, with a written report at every stage.
4/
Dilapidated or occupied property, or EPC rating F or G
Works, occupancy and energy performance costed, then built into the negotiation.
5/
Family building or hotel with no successor
En bloc or break-up, property or business: every scenario compared net, with targeted investors and hoteliers.
6/
Split ownership, SCI shares, several properties

Frequently asked questions
Estates and joint ownership: your questions
Can a jointly owned property be sold without the agreement of all the heirs?
In principle, no. Joint owners holding at least two thirds of the rights can ask the court for permission to sell; this route is closed in certain cases, in particular where ownership is split between bare owner and usufructuary.
What is an estate administrator (mandataire successoral)?
A person appointed by the court to administer a deadlocked or complex estate. REVAA can provide them with a valuation and buyers.
What is the deadline for filing the estate declaration?
Six months after the death. Beyond that, late-payment interest applies, followed by a surcharge from the thirteenth month.
Does an heir living in the property owe compensation?
Yes, an occupancy indemnity owed to the joint ownership; it ends when the property is actually handed back.
How long does a court-ordered division take?
From 18 months to seven years, depending on the source. Agreement between the joint owners remains the fastest route.
