What we do with an inherited house
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
You can take the belongings the family wants to keep. You do not have to empty or repair the house before asking about a sale; items left in the house can stay for the as-is sale.
While the estate keeps the property, carrying costs such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep can continue. A sale can stop future carrying costs after closing. Amounts already owed are separate and are confirmed against the property and closing records.

New Hampshire estate rules and taxes
The person signing for the estate needs authority. Unless the will provides otherwise, RSA 559:18 allows an executor or administrator to sell with written consent from the surviving spouse and the heirs or devisees, or their guardians or conservators. The probate court can also license a sale under RSA 559:1, for example when other estate assets cannot cover estate debts. The will, appointment, required consents, any court order, and title requirements determine who signs for a particular house.
A waiver of administration can reduce paperwork; it does not remove the administrator’s responsibilities (RSA 553:32). Property liens still need to be paid or released for clear title.
New Hampshire real estate transfer tax
New Hampshire charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of taxable price. Each party’s tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar, and for a price of $4,000 or less the minimum is $20 each. On a $100,000 sale, each party owes $750, or $1,500 total. The closing professional handles the tax stamps through the county register of deeds and required Department of Revenue Administration filings, including any exemption. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax.

Can I sell an inherited New Hampshire house before probate is finished?
Selling before probate is finished depends on the estate’s authority. Unless the will provides otherwise, the appointed executor or administrator may sell under RSA 559:18 with written consent from the surviving spouse and the heirs or devisees, or their guardians or conservators. The probate court may also license a sale under RSA 559:1, for example when other estate assets cannot cover estate debts. The appointment, will, required consents or court license, and title requirements determine who can sign for this house.
Do I have to put the inherited house in my own name before selling?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
