What is a probate house clearance?

A probate house clearance is the clearing of a home after someone has died — carried out sensitively, with documents, valuables and sentimental items set aside for the family before anything is removed.

Clearing a loved one’s home is a difficult task, often needed as part of settling an estate. A probate clearance empties the property of furniture and belongings, but with extra care: important documents, jewellery, photographs and anything of personal or financial value are set aside for the family to review first.

A good clearance team works at your pace and treats the home and its contents with respect. Usable items can be donated or, where there is genuine resale value, offset against the cost of the clearance. Confidential paperwork can be handled securely on request.
