What is a probate house clearance?

A probate house clearance empties a property after someone has died, usually so it can be sold, returned to a landlord or handed back to a council. The clearance team removes contents for the family or executor, sets aside documents and personal items, passes on usable belongings where suitable, and leaves the property empty and tidy.

A careful, unhurried service

There's no rush to decide everything at once. Families often take what they want first and leave the rest with us. If you'd like time to go through belongings, we can clear in stages.

Our team works quietly and respectfully, and treats the home exactly as we'd want our own family's home treated.

Personal items and paperwork set aside

As we work, we look out for and set aside:

  • Bank statements, letters and official documents
  • Photographs, albums and letters
  • Jewellery, watches and keepsakes
  • Wills, deeds and anything that looks important
  • Keys, cash and small valuables

Working with executors and solicitors

Executors and solicitors often manage a clearance from a distance. We can work from photos and key access, keep you updated with pictures, and provide appropriate paperwork for the estate's records.

If a property needs to be clear before a sale completes or a tenancy ends, tell us the deadline and we'll plan around it.

What happens to the contents

Furniture and household items in good condition are reused or donated to local charities where suitable. Recyclable materials are separated, and the remainder goes to a licensed facility.

If the family would like specific items donated to a particular charity, let us know and we'll do our best to arrange it.

Before you book

You don't need probate to be granted before getting a quote. Some families ask us to quote early so they know what to expect. Check with your solicitor before items are removed if you're unsure whether you can go ahead yet.

Can you clear a property before probate is granted?

That depends on the estate. Many executors arrange clearances before probate, but if you're unsure, check with your solicitor first. We're happy to quote at any stage.

Will you go through belongings for valuables?

Yes. We look out for documents, photos, jewellery and anything that looks important, and keep it aside for you.

Can family members take items first?

Of course. Many families remove what they want to keep before we arrive. Just let us know which rooms or items to leave.

Do you work with solicitors and estate agents?
