Probate House Cleaning
We provide a house cleaning service for empty properties that are part of a probate matter. Make contact with us. In order to assess the work required and provide a quote for our house cleaning service we need to know how many bedrooms in the property, how many living areas in the house i.e dining room and lounge, if there are stairs, a conservatory, garage, loft or any other outbuildings. We will also need to know the type of construction of the property i.e semi-detached, detached, terraced or bungalow.
House Clean
The above is a general rule of thumb that can be applied to 90% percent of the probate house cleaning services we provide. You do have a duty to advise us if you are aware that any property, that requires a probate cleaning service, is excessively dirty or of course excessively large.
When attending the property we reserve the right to discuss our quote prior to starting work. If you need exact confirmation of our fees then please contact us by email and provide photographic evidence detailing the size and condition of the property.
Dealing with and cleaning up after the presence of asbestos, squatters or vermin carries an additional surcharge.
End of Tenancy Property Clean
We regret our house cleaning service is not the type of service that you would use for end of tenancy house clean nor is it the type you would use after renovations of a property. However, if you have found our website looking for this type of service we might be able to put you in touch with one of our local probate clearance team who may be able to assist. Just give us a call.
How it Works
Select an option below to read more about the different quote types.
The guaranteed quote process is a two-step process. One telephone call to our offices and we will arrange an appointment to collect any property keys or visit you or your agent at the property concerned. Assuming we are collecting keys, we will then visit the required property that requires the full probate clearance and provide photographic evidence to show the extent of any work required. We will provide a written quote (valid for 28 days) and suggested time scale for completion.
If our probate clearance quote is accepted we will revisit the property and begin our clearance. Our Probate Clearance team typically begin work at 7.30am so further arrangements for keys will need to be organised if we have had to return any keys.
If you would like us to attend the property to begin probate clearance immediately, we would suggest that in order to avoid a call out charge for our probate clearance team, you provide us with photographic evidence of the property and all of its rooms. With the evidence of the condition we will be able to provide an approximate idea of our quote within a range i.e £1000-£1500. If we arrive at the property and we feel we are not able to provide the probate clearance within that range we will immediately discuss this with you and provided you supplied photographic evidence that is a true reflection of the job at hand there will be no call out charge. If we feel you were less than candid with your photography we will need to charge for calling out our team.
The flexible approach to our probate clearance service detailed above usually works perfectly well. In 99% percent of cases we will clear the property within the range of our quote.
The Final Result
Once the clearance is complete we will return any property keys, provide final photographic evidence, deliver any pre-arranged chattels of value to an auction house of your choosing and issue our invoice for payment within 30 days.
Reducing the cost of Probate Clearance
Although not definitively, the second hand furniture market is not a lucrative market, therefore in most scenario’s we cannot offset the value of furniture against our clearance fees. However, we are of course open to discuss this if you feel there is sufficient value in any of the chattels. If you have any doubt you could perhaps arrange for one of our probate chattels valuations to be sure. In order to avoid any mistakes we would recommend that any chattels that you feel do have a probate value then they should be removed from the property before any probate clearance takes place.
Hand us the Keys
If for any reason we are unable to collect the keys we will meet you or your agents at the property to begin our work. If you need it cleared that day then we must have photographic evidence showing the condition. Please note we start early, typically if probate clearance needs to be carried out that day it will be our intention to start at 7.30am. Call us for further details and for alternative arrangements.
