How our probate clearance service works

When you are an executor or family member, you are often managing paperwork, relatives and emotions at the same time. We keep the clearance side simple: Ryan visits the property, you explain what is to be kept, sold or donated, and we then prepare a fixed-price quotation.

On the day our crew works carefully and respectfully, treating personal belongings with consideration. We do not provide legal advice, so we work alongside your solicitor or the rest of the family to match the timings you need.

  • Respectful handling

    Personal items treated with care and discretion throughout the clearance.

  • Works to your timetable

    Dates arranged around valuations, family visits and the sale of the property.

  • Clear communication

    Straightforward updates so executors can keep everyone informed.

Preparing for a probate clearance

Before we start, make sure the family has had the chance to take what they wish and that any items needing valuation or assessment have been identified. Let us know which rooms, lofts, garages or outbuildings need clearing, and mention anything the family wishes to retain so it can be set aside.

If you are clearing a property that you must also tidy and sell, our house clearances page explains the standard process. If the estate includes outbuildings, see garage and outbuilding clearances.
