Our Story
About Hadleys Probate Autos
A specialist service built around families, executors and solicitors who need a trusted, respectful and completely hassle‑free way to sell a probate vehicle.
Who We Are
A Business Built on Trust & Respect
Hadleys Probate Autos was founded with a single purpose: to make the sale of probate vehicles as simple, respectful and stress‑free as possible for the families and individuals who need it most.
Over the years, we have worked alongside hundreds of families, estate executors, solicitors and professional trustees to help them navigate the sometimes complex process of selling a vehicle that forms part of a deceased person's estate.
We understand that behind every vehicle is a family — and behind every family is a story. That is why every enquiry we receive is treated with the utmost sensitivity, patience and professionalism.
Our team has extensive experience with all types of vehicles but we have a particular passion and expertise when it comes to classic cars, vintage motorcycles, barn finds and vehicles that have been in long‑term storage. These are precisely the vehicles that other buyers often overlook — and that we value most.
Our Speciality
Why We Specialise in Probate Vehicles
Probate vehicle sales are a unique type of transaction. The seller is rarely the original owner. Often there are multiple beneficiaries involved. Documents may be missing. The vehicle may not have been started in years.
We have built our entire service around these circumstances. Unlike general car buying services, we know what questions to ask, what paperwork is needed, and how to work sensitively with everyone involved in the estate.
We also know how to accurately value vehicles that other buyers struggle with — classic cars, motorcycles, barn finds, vehicles without MOTs or with lapsed insurance. Our specialist knowledge means you always receive a fair offer.
