For probate solicitors & executors

The property side of probate, structured in minutes.

ProbateLens turns a short walkthrough video of an estate property into a clear condition report and IHT400-ready evidence pack — structured in minutes, with you in control.

Built from a real family estate — and verified by the people who knew the property.
The problem

When a property is part of an estate, the evidence is slow to gather.

Especially when the property is unoccupied, in poor condition, or the executor isn't local.

Site visits & waiting

Multiple agent or surveyor visits, then days to weeks for written appraisals to return.

IHT400 evidence

HMRC requires formal, defensible evidence of condition and value — estimates aren't accepted.

Executor coordination

Often managed from another part of the country, reconciling valuations and condition by hand.

Difficult properties

Hoarded, neglected or part-cleared homes are exactly where the friction multiplies.

How it works

One walkthrough in. A structured pack out. Your judgment on top.

Walk the property once

The executor, agent or clearance contractor films a short phone walkthrough on a routine visit.

ProbateLens drafts the pack

A structured condition report, room-by-room observations, an executor summary and a listing brief.

You verify and sign off

Every observation is flagged for confirmation. The qualified valuer's figure remains the value of record.

What you get

Three deliverables from a single walkthrough.

For the file

IHT400 evidence pack

A structured condition report with room-by-room observations and a framework for the valuer's comparable-sale evidence.

For the executor

Plain-English summary

What the property is, what condition it's in, and what to do next — written for a non-technical personal representative.

For the agent

Listing-ready brief

Selling points, issues to disclose and a marketing angle for the appointed estate agent to start from.

Our promise

Evidence-supporting, not evidence-defining.

ProbateLens never produces a valuation figure. It structures what's visible to support the qualified surveyor or estate agent — whose appraisal remains the valuation of record for HMRC.

AI drafts. People can err, and so can models — so a person who knows the property always verifies before anything is relied upon.

Who it's for

Built around the people who carry probate property work.

Probate solicitors

Private client teams who need defensible property evidence, fast.

Executors

Personal representatives coordinating a sale, often from a distance.

Estate agents

Agents handling probate instructions who want a head start on condition.

Let's talk

We're talking to probate firms about whether to build this properly.

If you handle estate property, twenty minutes of your perspective would be genuinely valuable. It's a research conversation, not a pitch.
