🏡 Probate house clearance: where do you start?
When someone dies, clearing their home can be daunting. Families may be unsure what to do first, while executors and solicitors need a reliable team to carry out their instructions.
10 things worth knowing:
1️⃣ Confirm who can authorise the clearance before anything is removed.
2️⃣ Photograph rooms and contents to help keep a record.
3️⃣ Set aside documents, photographs and sentimental belongings.
4️⃣ Consider valuations for antiques, jewellery and other valuables.
5️⃣ Agree what stays, what goes and what needs extra care.
6️⃣ You don’t have to lift a thing. We can dismantle and remove bulky furniture.
7️⃣ Remember lofts, garages, sheds and gardens when planning the job.
8️⃣ With permission, we can reuse, upcycle or donate suitable items ourselves.
9️⃣ Use a registered waste carrier. We handle responsible disposal and provide relevant paperwork.
🔟 Plan the finish. We vacuum carpets and skirting boards and remove cobwebs, with additional cleaning available to prepare a property for sale or new occupants.
