Sensitive, professional property clearance for executors, solicitors, and families. We handle everything with care and discretion during a difficult time.
Probate house clearance is the process of clearing a deceased person’s property, usually as part of settling their estate. Unlike a standard house clearance, probate work requires extra sensitivity, careful documentation, and often coordination with legal professionals.
As executors, you may be dealing with grief while managing legal obligations and tight deadlines. We take the physical burden off your shoulders so you can focus on what matters. Every item is handled with respect, and we work at your pace — not ours.
We work directly with executors, solicitors, and family members to ensure the clearance runs smoothly. Before we start, we walk through the property with you to identify any items of sentimental or financial value that should be set aside.
Our team is DBS checked and fully insured, giving you peace of mind that your loved one’s belongings are in safe hands. We can provide a full inventory of items cleared if required for probate records or insurance purposes.
We coordinate with solicitors, estate agents, and other professionals involved in the estate to ensure the property is cleared to the required standard and within any legal deadlines.
During probate clearance, we often discover items of significant value that executors and families weren’t aware of. Our Treasure Hunt programme ensures nothing valuable is simply thrown away.
While we clear the property, we actively search for items that could be sold — antiques, vintage finds, collectibles, quality furniture, and working electronics. If we sell items within 30 days, the estate receives 30% of the net profit as a rebate.
For probate cases, this can make a meaningful difference to the estate’s value. We provide full documentation of every item sold and every payment made.

Most probate clearances in Huntingdon take between one and three days, depending on the size of the property and volume of contents. We understand that probate comes with legal deadlines, and we schedule our work to fit around them.
If the property needs to be cleared before exchange of contracts or by a specific date, let us know. We offer flexible scheduling, including short-notice bookings when deadlines are tight.
To get started with a probate clearance, we typically need the following. Don’t worry if you’re not sure about all of this — we’ll guide you through it during our initial consultation.
Not always. In many cases, you can begin clearing personal belongings before probate is granted, particularly if the property needs to be secured or maintained. However, we recommend checking with your solicitor first, especially for high-value items. We’re happy to work around the legal timeline.
