Augusta Probate Website Terms and Conditions
Last updated: June 13th 2026
These terms and conditions govern your use of the website at augustaprobate.co.uk (the “Website”). Please read them carefully. By using the Website you confirm that you accept these terms and that you agree to comply with them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.
Who are we?
The Website is operated by Augusta Probate, a trading name of Augusta Probate Limited (“Augusta Probate”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17167349, with its registered office at 51 Harley Street, London W1G 8QQ.
We are a cash buyer of inherited and probate property across England and Wales. We are not estate agents, solicitors, tax advisers, or financial advisers, and we do not market property for sale on the open market.
You can contact us at info@augustaprobate.co.uk.
What do these terms mean?
In these terms:
“Content” means all text, guides, glossary entries, calculators, tools, images, video, and other material published on the Website.
“Offer” means any indication of a purchase price for a property, whether shown on the Website, given by email, or discussed by phone.
“You” or “your” means the person using the Website.
Is the information on this website advice?
The Content on this Website, including our guides, glossary, articles, checklists, and calculators, is provided for general information only. It is not legal, tax, financial, or other professional advice, and you should not rely on it as such.
Probate, estate administration, and inheritance tax are complex and depend on the specific facts of each estate. Before making any decision, you should take advice from a qualified solicitor, accountant, or tax adviser who can consider your individual circumstances.
Where the Website provides calculators or estimating tools (for example an inheritance tax calculator), any figures produced are estimates only, based on the information you enter and on general rules that may not apply to your situation. They are not a formal calculation, are not a substitute for professional advice, and should not be relied on for any actual tax filing or financial decision. Tax rules and thresholds change, and we do not guarantee that any tool reflects the current position.
We make reasonable efforts to keep the Content accurate and up to date, but we do not warrant that it is complete, current, or error free.
How do our offers work?
If you ask us to consider buying a property, the following applies.
Any price we indicate through the Website, by email, or in early conversation is indicative only and is not a binding offer to buy. It is an opening guide based on limited information.
Any formal offer we make is subject to our due diligence, which may include a property inspection or survey, title and legal checks, searches, and confirmation that you have the legal authority to sell the property (for example a grant of probate or letters of administration).
No contract for the sale of a property exists between you and us until contracts are formally exchanged by the parties’ solicitors. Up to that point either party may withdraw without liability.
We are under no obligation to make an offer on any property, and you are under no obligation to accept any offer we make. Selling a property quickly to a cash buyer is sometimes the right decision and sometimes it is not. You are free to take advice and to compare other options before deciding.
The nature of our service
We buy property for cash, in our own name, for our own account. We are a principal buyer, not an agent acting on your behalf.
Because we buy for cash and take on the time, cost, and risk of the purchase (including properties that are unmodernised, unmortgageable, or legally complex), our offers are typically below open market value. In exchange we offer speed and certainty. We believe in being open about this trade off so that you can make an informed choice.
Where we agree to cover costs such as your solicitor’s fees or clearance of the property, the specific terms will be confirmed in writing as part of any individual transaction and are not part of these Website terms.
