What legal and property professionals need from a house clearance — licensing, itemised disposal records, retained-item logs, photographic evidence and a written completion report.
Solicitors and estate agents do not instruct a clearance company on price alone. They instruct on risk. If a beneficiary questions what happened to the contents, the file has to answer for it.
What goes into the file
- Written quotation with scope, sequence and health and safety detail
- Waste carrier licence details and transfer notes
- Consignment notes where hazardous or clinical waste is involved
- Itemised record of what was disposed of
- Retained-items log with photographs
- Before, during and after photographs of every room
- Written completion report and any damage or safety findings
Managing beneficiaries and co-executors
We do not value, auction or resell, and we do not promise charitable donation. Items of apparent value are photographed and reported to the executor, keeping the decision — and the responsibility — where the law puts it.
Timescales that fit a transaction
A two-bedroom terrace is usually a single day; a four-bedroom home with loft and garage takes two to three. Hoarded or biohazardous properties are staged over several days because each layer must be assessed as it is exposed. Where a marketing date is fixed, we work backwards from it and confirm it in writing.
Dozens of solicitors, estate agents, housing associations and care home groups across Wolverhampton, Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford use us for exactly this reason. Email specialists@shropshirecleaners.expert to discuss a property.
