House Clearance in South Norwood: Case Study 1

As many of our clients have never dealt with probate or used a house clearance company before, we found that it was helpful to outline a previous house clearance in South Norwood we carried out recently. This gives new clients some understanding of the clearance process and pricing. If you have any probate requirements or looking to have a house clearance in South Norwood or surrounding areas then for free advice without obligation, you can call our valuers London Office on 0208 640 0044.

We also carry out property valuation for probate and house contents valuation for probate purposes in the South Norwood area.

CLEARANCE DATE: 22nd October 2012

PROPERTY LOCATION: Holmesdale Road, South Norwood, London, SE25

CLEARANCE TYPE: Full house clearance and clean

PROPERTY TYPE: 4-bedroom house

Clearance Requirements

This large semi-detached house on Holmesdale Road, South Norwood, SE25, had been inherited by our client a few months previously, but he had been unable to do anything with it because it was still filled with the possessions of the previous occupant. As the previous owner had been ill, the property was slightly neglected and as a result our client asked us to clean it throughout following the clearance.

Clearance Overview

We had no problem parking our vehicles outside the house because it had its own driveway, so that made removing the contents more convenient. After performing a quick appraisal of the property, we estimated that we would be able to finish the job by 6.00pm, and then we got started. Most of the rooms had lots of furniture and effects within them, and we made our way through the property removing everything as a team. Some of the items of furniture were too large to remove as they were, including a large table in the living room, so we had to dismantle them carefully. We then put them back together again before loading them into the van. The most interesting thing that we came across was a tin filled with old black and white photos that looked like they dated back to the 1940s or 1950s, which we found in one of the bedrooms. We separated this to hand over to the client in case it was something important to him. After removing all of the contents, we cleaned the house throughout. We always use specialised cleaning equipment to ensure a high level of cleanliness, and this meant that the client could place the house on the market if he so wished.

Disposal of Contents

We managed to donate a large proportion of the contents for this clearance, which is great because we are always keen to reduce our environmental impact. A local charity took most of the things off our hands, so it was good to be able to help them to raise some money as well. We handed the tin of photos over to the client at the end of the clearance, and although he did not recognise the people in the photos he was very grateful to us for handing them to him and he intended to research them further.

Client Comments

Our client thanked us for working diligently and with care throughout the day, and he was especially grateful that we did not discard the tin with the photographs.
