Hi MaNaAk
Just been catching up with your posts, it seems to me that your brothers actually don't know how lucky they are to have you. If circumstances were different to 'caretake' a property, maintain it (pay the bills etc) and empty it, it would actually be costing them quite a bit of time and money to do it. They have you though and you are doing it all for free and they have the audacity to say you should be paying them rent, unbelievable!!! You have the patience of a saint to allow them to treat you the way they do.
Emptying and selling a property takes time, never mind the delays we are experiencing with Covid-19. It took me 5-6 months to empty my dad's house and he had been living alone there for years before he moved into the care home and I'd already been helping him take care of his house. No one was also trying to live there, so it was a lot easier. I did countless trips to the tip in my car, got a charity to take what they wanted and the council to take some bigger items that I couldn't get rid off, I still have my own garage now full of things I couldn't just throw away. It also took 4 months for all the sales/legal stuff to go through and that was with no chain and first time buyers.
So as you have not got Probate through yet or put the property on the market, I see no reason for you to rush to move out. As long as you agree to be out of the property before the actual agreed completion date, what is their problem? The day I handed the keys over to my dad's house, I visited it for the last time to say my goodbyes, to read meters, leave the new owners a card, some flowers and bubbly and say goodbye to the neighbours. It was quite emotional as it had been my family home for 50+ years. I suspect it might too be quite emotional for you too. x
