House Clearance in Dorking: Case Study 1

As many of our clients have never used a house clearance or a probate valuation before, we found that it was helpful to outline previous work we have conducted in the Farnham area. This gives new clients some understanding of the clearance process and pricing. If you are looking to clear a property in Farnham then for free advice without obligation, you can call our Surrey Office on 01483 600 458.

Avery Associates can carry out the work for you quickly and professionally. Here is a recent case study of a house that we cleared in Dorking so that you can find out a bit more about our process. For more information or to arrange your clearance please do not hesitate to call.

We also carry out hoarded property clearances, property valuation for probate and house contents valuation for probate purposes in the Dorking area.

CLEARANCE DATE: 10th June 2024

PROPERTY LOCATION: Moore’s Road, Dorking, Surrey RH4

CLEARANCE TYPE: Full House Clearance And Security

PROPERTY TYPE: 4-Bedroom House

Clearance Overview

This job involved clearing the entire contents of a large family home. There was lots of space around the house so loading the house contents into our vehicles was an easy job. The outside area did not require clearing, but inside the property there was a large basement filled with boxes of books, records and other items, and a large attic also packed with generations of belongings ranging from toys, wallpaper, Christmas decorations, school projects etc.. which all needed removing. We usually value house contents for probate prior to carrying out a property clearance, but in this case a probate valuation was not required.

Clearance Requirements

The only requirement of this house clearance was that we sent as many of the items to local Dorking charities as possible. Anything that we could not send to charities was to be recycled if possible.

Following the clearance, the owner wanted us to secure three of the windows and the two main doors because they were planning on leaving the property empty for a number of months and they were worried about squatters.

Disposal of Contents

Most of the items in the house were good enough to be sent to local Dorking charities. The basement was surprisingly dry so the books and records were in particularly good condition, and the owner had no desire to keep them for himself so we took these to charities who accepted them with open arms. The rest was sorted for recycling and items to be sent to landfill, which was not a large amount.

Following the clearance we immediately secured the windows and doors so that by the time we left the property it had been fully cleared and secured against squatting.

Client Comments

The owner of the property, Mr Hill from Dorking said “I was very pleased with the job as a whole. The team were punctual and began work immediately, carrying out my instructions fully without any problems. Overall I was very happy with the work and feel reassured that there will be no risk of squatters getting in”
