Probate House Clearance
When a property is part of an estate, executors and solicitors need a clearance that is organised, documented and done properly. That is exactly what we provide.
A probate property often needs emptying before it can be valued, sold or handed back to a landlord. We work with executors, family members, solicitors and estate agents across Northumberland to get properties cleared efficiently and with the right paperwork.
Before a clearance it is worth deciding whether any items should be valued separately – for example jewellery, antiques, artwork or collections. If you would like a specialist valuer to see the contents first, we are happy to work around that. Where items we clear have resale value, we can reflect this in the price we quote.
An empty, clean property photographs better and is easier for agents to show. Once we have cleared it, the house is ready for an estate agent, a valuer or a buyer's survey. If garden waste, shed contents or garage junk also need to go, include them in the same job.
The official guide to dealing with the estate of someone who has died is on GOV.UK. If you are an executor living away from Northumberland, we can handle the clearance from start to finish without you needing to visit.
We regularly take instructions directly from professionals managing estates. Just let us know who the invoice should go to and who holds the keys, and we will keep everyone updated.

Not always, but executors should take advice before disposing of items of value. Many executors arrange the clearance once probate is granted or once valuable items have been dealt with.
Yes. We can address the quote and invoice to the estate, the executor or the solicitor handling it.
Yes – from you, a solicitor, an estate agent or a neighbour – and we return them when the job is finished.

I had been running a small home office in Warkworth, but my wife wanted both rooms back for our grandchildren. The team cleared everything quickly, professionally, and without any hassle. Excellent service!
Our family bereavement process took ages, and it was an incredibly stressful and emotional time for us. However, the team stepped in and provided much-needed support, compassion, and professionalism. They were understanding, patient, and helpful throughout. We truly appreciate their kindness and dedication during this difficult time.
The team cleared my late mother's house with exceptional care, kindness and respect during a very emotional time. They thoughtfully set aside precious photographs we never knew she had kept, which meant so much to our family. The house was left absolutely spotless. I cannot recommend their compassionate, professional service highly enough.
