Hoarded House Clearance In Willesden Has Cash In The Attic

June 18, 2013 By Avery Associates

Clearance Of Hoarded House In Willesden For Solicitors

As we are very experienced at clearing hoarded houses all over London we were chosen by a local firm of solicitors after having been recommended by a client who we had conducted a hoarded house clearance in the London area for earlier this year.

Dead Cat And Rotting Food

Upon arrival at the location which will remain anonymous for reasons of security i noticed a bad smell and soon realised that it was coming from the hoarded house we were to clear. I was soon told by the solicitor showing the hoarded property that there was a dead cat present and a considerable amount of rotting food scattered all over the floor. But to my surprise i was informed that there was likely to be a considerable amount of cash hidden within the premises that we were expected to find for the family.

Cash In The Attic

We were back the next morning to start the hoarded house clearance and with an assistant i carefully sifted through paperwork and clutter in the sitting room and at the same time removing all waste to form a holding area and a clear space to store items of value. By 2 pm i made access to and entered the loft area which had been described as a like place for valuables to be hidden. It was only about fifteen minutes before i found a strong box containing a large amount of cash along with a wooden box full of jewelry.

A Very Happy Customer

I notified our client quickly and received a hearty thank you for the find followed by a personal phone call from the family who were extremely grateful. I was also very happy to have recovered the valuables for the family and was able to continue to clear the property of all the remaining furniture and effects which took another day and a half. During that time we managed to recover more items of value some odd pieces of jewelry, coins and medals which were all returned to our client.

If you have a horded house to clear and need to recover valuable items or important paperwork including a will search we can help. Our specialist hoarded house clearance team can take care of the whole thing for you from start to finish, so for confidential advice please call Jeffrey Avery directly on 0800 567 7769

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.

  • We can provide 24 hour security to eliminate the risk of squatting or unlawful occupation.

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.
