When inheritance complicates a property sale: a family’s experience in Lutry

A firm asking price and mounting costs

Following their father’s passing, the heirs decided to put the apartment on the traditional market. However, their firm stance on the price soon became a major obstacle. Despite the property being located in a sought-after area, the sale made no progress. The appointed broker organized numerous visits, but none of the offers met the sellers’ expectations.

Meanwhile, the maintenance fees and mortgage continued to pile up, becoming a significant financial burden. Managing the situation from different countries added another level of complexity, as the heirs struggled with disagreements over the sales strategy.

Swifthome: a fast and effective solution

After several months without any viable outcome, the broker decided to contact Swifthome, a company specializing in direct property purchases. The request was clear: provide a quick offer to resolve the deadlock.

While Swifthome’s offer was lower than the heirs’ initial expectations, it stood out for one key reason—speed. The absence of intermediaries and the streamlined process were compelling arguments that won them over.
