Probate House Clearance

When a property is going through probate, timing and documentation matter. We coordinate the clearance with executors and solicitors, and provide the paperwork you need along the way.

What’s Included

Executor coordination

We liaise directly with executors or their solicitor on timing and access.

Inventory before removal

A room-by-room inventory can be provided before anything is cleared, if required.

Hold-and-clear option

Items can be held securely while grant of probate is finalised, then cleared once confirmed.

Valuation referrals

Where items may have value, we can pause and refer to a valuer before clearance.

Paper trail

Waste transfer notes and clearance confirmation are provided for the estate's records.

How It Works

1
CONFIRM INSTRUCTION

We agree scope and timing with the executor or their solicitor.

2
INVENTORY (OPTIONAL)

A record of contents can be taken before anything is removed.

3
CLEAR ON YOUR TIMELINE

We clear once you're ready, whether that's before or after grant of probate.

4
CONFIRMATION PROVIDED

Documentation is provided for the estate file once the property is empty.

Why Choose Us for Probate House Clearance

Probate clearances often involve more than one decision-maker and sometimes a solicitor overseeing the estate. We're used to working within that structure — confirming instructions clearly, keeping a paper trail, and not proceeding until everyone involved is comfortable.

If the property needs to be secured and held before a clearance can go ahead, we can advise on that too, and return to complete the clearance once probate is granted and instructions are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you clear a property before probate is granted?

We can inventory and secure a property beforehand, then complete the clearance once you have legal authority to instruct it.

Will you deal directly with our solicitor?

Yes, we're happy to take instruction from and report back to a solicitor or executor directly.

Do you provide documentation for the estate's records?

Yes, we provide confirmation of clearance and waste transfer notes on request.

What if an item looks like it may have value?

We'll set it aside and flag it rather than clear it, so it can be valued separately if needed.

Can several executors be involved in approving the clearance?

Yes, we can coordinate with however many parties need to sign off before we proceed.

A properly documented clearance gives an estate one less loose end to tie up.
