Simplify the sale of your inherited property with Swifthome

Vente facilitée lors de l'héritage d'un bien immobilier
Imagine Noah and Simon*, two brothers who have just inherited an apartment full of history but in need of renovations. Should they renovate before selling or sell it as-is? A difficult question when it comes to a family property.

Inherited property: navigating towards new horizons

Noah and Simon became inherited a property in Veytaux left to them by their mother. At first glance, the duplex apartment offers many attractive features, including a stunning view of Lake Geneva and a swimming pool. With such qualities, the sales prospects seemed promising. Excited by the idea, the brothers decided to embark on a renovation project.

Obstacles on the horizon

After forty years without any work, the apartment required a complete overhaul. The owners called in an architect to assess the property’s condition. However, after the evaluation, the task proved far more complicated than expected, requiring costly renovation expenses. Unprepared for such an investment, Noah and Simon were caught off guard and decided to back out.

Turning to a professional buyer

The renovation project fell through. The two brothers, both in their forties, mutually agreed to part ways with the apartment. At this point, involving a real estate expert was recommended. The co-heirs faced two options: hire an agent or contact a professional buyer like Swifthome. Despite listing the property with an agent, they struggled to find buyers.

Selling without hassle: yes, it’s possible

Faced with this situation, Noah and Simon turned to Swifthome. Thanks to their expertise, the company made them a personalized purchase offer in record time. A proposal that greatly relieved the brothers, who were ready to do anything to free themselves from this property that had become a burden. In just 15 days, the sale was completed, opening the door to new possibilities.
