Dealing with A House Clearance After A Death

July 5, 2011 By Avery Associates

We are called to carry out house clearance in many different situations and many locations, this often includes situations where the occupant of the building has died. As London house clearance specialists we have worked for many bereaved clients so have all the experience needed to help you through a difficult stuation.

If you have experienced a loss in the family, there are a lot of things that you may have to deal with, and sometimes these can be very stressful. However, a house clearance should not be stressful as long as you hire in a professional firm to deal with it properly.

Some of the things that you often have to arrange when someone dies include inheritance tax, rent issues if the property was being rented, and dividing the estate according to the wishes of the will. However, how do you go about organising a house clearance?

People often have lots of property to clear away when they die. Some of this may have sentimental or monetary value and you may therefore want to keep it and divide it up between the other beneficiaries of the will. But even so, there may be lots of other items that need to be dealt with.

We specialise in clearing properties from top to toe, so if you hire us for a house clearance, we will take all of the objects out of the house and sort them out effectively. Reuse and recycling is what we focus on, and we regularly manage to reuse or recycle about 90% of all of our clearances, with the rest going to landfill.

Often when someone dies, they may leave valuable objects in the property. We can use these to offset the cost of the clearance to provide better value for you. We also work in a discreet, professional and sensitive manner so that if we find items that may have sentimental value such as documents then we will notify you about these.

On top of that, as well as being a house clearance specialist, we can also provide extra services such as a deep clean of the property, security enhancements if no one is going to be occupying the property, and garden maintenance.

It can be very stressful and upsetting when a loved one dies, and for that reason we aim to make the house clearance as simple and painless as possible. We will deal with the property sensitively and do the job you expect of us.

Our House Clearance Services

We provide a full house clearance and property management solution:

  • We clear hoarded houses, regardless how big or how cluttered
  • We clear all types and sizes of property, irrespective of location, or access is restricted or where parking is difficult or not available.
  • We can help avoid water damage by draining the central heating system.

As well normal house clearances we specialise in clutter clearance and we can clear a hoarded house which may contain years of accumulated possessions, or which have abnormal amounts of general household items, sometimes as a result of compulsive hoarding syndrome.

Equally we can help to clear a property where the occupants were previously unwell and unable to care for themselves or their property which sometimes results in insanitary, dangerous or just plain unpleasant conditions.
