After inheritance
Post-inheritance work: renovate to rent or sell
An inheritance rarely creates a simple situation. The property may be occupied, old, incomplete, in need of cleaning, securing or restoration before a family decision.

Sell, rent or keep: work changes with the goal
Heirs do not all have the same goal. Some want to rent properly, others sell without blocking the transaction, others make the property livable.
- Before renting: general condition, safety, sanitary fixtures, kitchen and finishes.
- Before sale: visible defects, access, exterior and readability of spaces.
- Before occupancy: comfort, energy, heating, floors, painting and storage.
Often urgent, but still structured
An inherited property can create many decisions in a short time. The work request must be clear to avoid unnecessary visits.
- The family context is considered without turning the page into legal advice.
- The artisan receives a need tied to a concrete project.
