Coming to grips
Although this is a lovely position to be in, having a property gifted as an inheritance, comes with its own problems. Often there are high emotions, due to the circumstances of the inheritance, and perhaps a number of new owners coming to grips with the best situation for everyone. Potentially the property is not to the required standard for letting it out, energy performance levels must not be lower than Band E, and quite often these properties have been neglected for many years and require modernising before they can be marketed.
