Inherited Property: Should You Sell or Rent It Out?

Inherited a flat and don’t know whether to sell or rent it out? Explore the pros, cons, and real financial impact of both options—so you can decide with confidence.

Inheriting a flat is a blessing… but also a responsibility.

It often comes with questions, paperwork, and sometimes even family tension.
And once everything is sorted, the big question appears:
“Should I sell it or rent it out?”

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there is a decision that best fits your life situation and your goals.
Let’s help you find it.

Option 1: Selling the Property

Pros:

  • You receive a lump sum of money right away

  • You’re free from long-term responsibilities

  • If it sells quickly and with proper advice, it’s a smooth process

Cons:

  • In 2025, the market is active, but not every area sells fast

  • You may sell below market value if you're in a rush

  • You lose the chance to earn steady monthly income from the flat

Insight:
Many owners sell out of fear—not out of strategy.

Option 2: Renting the Property

Pros:

  • Steady monthly income

  • The property remains yours (and may increase in value over time)

  • You can still sell later—from a stronger financial position

Cons:

  • Requires management: tenant screening, contracts, maintenance

  • Legal and tax clarity is essential (but we take care of that for you)

Best for you if:
You want to keep the property in the family and earn income without selling it off.

What About Taxes?

  • Inheriting property involves inheritance tax (varies by region)

  • Selling triggers capital gains tax and income tax

  • Renting means declaring income—but you can deduct many expenses

We help you understand all of this step by step.
No stress. No fine print. Just clarity.
