A practical, compassionate service at a difficult time

When someone passes away, dealing with a home full of possessions is rarely just a practical task. It is often emotional, time-sensitive and difficult to know where to begin.

We help take that weight off your shoulders.

Whether you need a full probate property clearance, selected items removed, or a contents valuation to help with estate administration, we offer a straightforward and respectful service from start to finish. We understand that every property and every family situation is different, so we work carefully, communicate clearly and never rush decisions that need thought.

What is a probate house clearance?

A probate house clearance is the process of sorting, removing and managing the contents of a property after someone has died, usually as part of estate administration.

Some clients come to us at the very start of the process. Others already know what they want to keep and simply need the rest dealt with professionally. We can work either way.

This can involve:

  • clearing the entire home

  • identifying items of value

  • separating items for family members

  • removing unwanted furniture and household contents

  • preparing the property for sale or transfer

  • providing a contents valuation where required

Probate contents valuations

When dealing with probate, one of the hardest parts is often knowing what is actually in the property, what may hold value, and what should happen next.

As part of our probate service, we offer practical contents valuations to help executors and families gain a clearer picture of the home’s contents before decisions are made.

Our approach is honest, experienced and straightforward. We will never inflate expectations or tell you everything is valuable when it clearly is not.

In many probate situations, families simply need someone knowledgeable to walk through the property and give a realistic view of:

what’s worth keeping, what’s worth selling, and what can be cleared.

Valuation Visit Pricing

Probate contents valuation visits start from £195

This includes an on-site walkthrough and practical assessment of the property’s contents.

Where a property is particularly large, heavily furnished, or contains extensive collections, specialist items or multiple outbuildings, pricing may vary depending on the time involved.

If the property contains particularly rare, high-value or specialist assets, we can also advise where a more formal specialist valuation may be appropriate.

Important Note

Our probate contents valuations are intended as a practical estate and clearance support service. Where a solicitor, accountant, HMRC or insurer requires a highly formal written valuation for specialist assets, additional specialist appraisal may sometimes be needed.

This service is ideal if you need help understanding:

  • whether there are items of likely resale or auction value

  • what may be suitable for donation, clearance or disposal

  • whether the contents as a whole are likely to offset clearance costs

  • what should be set aside for further specialist review

We regularly assess:

  • antique and vintage furniture

  • decorative interiors and homeware

  • artworks, mirrors and framed pieces

  • ceramics, glass and collectables

  • lighting, ornaments and general household contents

  • tools, garden items and garage contents
