Estate moves, sales & clearances

A lifetime of belongings, carefully handled

Whether a home is being sold, settled, or left behind for somewhere new, we handle everything inside it, from the first walk-round to an empty house.

    Move, store & sell

    What's kept is moved, what's undecided is stored, and the rest is sold well.

    • Careful packing and delivery to one or several homes
    • Secure storage for anything undecided
    • Everything being sold matched to the right channel, from specialist auction houses to dealers and private buyers
  4. 4

    Clear & complete

    Everything else donated, rehomed or responsibly cleared.

    • Property left empty, clean and ready
    • A full final statement for the family and solicitor

The family inventory

Everyone sees the same list, wherever they are

Every piece of value or significance is photographed and added to a private online inventory. Family members can view it from anywhere, label where each piece should go or what should happen to it, and add requests, while the executor approves every decision.

  • Private and secure

    Shared only with the people you invite.

  • Label, comment and request

    Note who would like what, and where it should go.

  • Executor approval

    Nothing happens until the executor signs it off.

  • Always up to date

    Updated as items are moved, stored or sold.

What's included

  • An on-site visit with you
  • A walk-through of every room
  • A written plan

If you go ahead, the £750 survey fee is deducted from your project fee.

A fixed, bespoke quote

No two homes are the same, so every project is quoted individually after the survey.

  • A fixed management fee, agreed before any work begins
  • Packing, removals, storage and clearance at our trade rates, passed on at cost
  • A small, clearly disclosed commission on anything sold. We negotiate auction terms on your behalf, which often offsets it
