Probate and Conveyancing (combined product)
Discounted residential sale conveyancing for executors when we also handle the probate.
Probate and Conveyancing
At Mounteney Solicitors, we provide a joined-up service for clients who need to sell a residential property as part of administering a deceased estate. Where we are already instructed in the probate process, we also handle the conveyancing for the sale, ensuring continuity, efficiency and clear communication throughout.
In many estates, selling a property to a third party on the open market is a necessary step. By managing both the probate and the conveyancing within the same legal team, we reduce duplication and help move the matter forward without unnecessary delay.
As part of this combined service, we offer a reduced fee on our residential property conveyancing service where the transaction arises from a matter in which we are already acting on probate. This provides a practical and cost-effective option for executors and administrators who want the reassurance of working with a firm that already understands the estate.
If you are administering an estate and need support with a related property sale, we are well placed to assist with both.
Money Matters
This is a 10% discounted rate for our Residential Sale conveyancing product for residential property conveyancing arising from estates for which we acted in the extraction of Probate.
The administration of a deceased estate will often entail the decision to sell residential property on the open market to an unconnected third party in exchange for money. Where we are instructed in the probate we are willing to act in the conveyancing subject to this discount, essentially as a probate marketing incentive.
We also offer these services individually, as shown below:
Residential Sale Conveyancing (£950)

In addition to our fee, there may be various other related expenses (“disbursements”) which we will need to pay on your behalf, these will vary depending on the transaction, but will need to be funded by you in advance.
