Daily photo updates, retained-item logs and a written completion report — how families overseas clear an inherited house in Wolverhampton or Shropshire without flying home.
Inheriting a property 4,000 miles away is a logistical problem wrapped in grief. Flights, annual leave, keys held by a solicitor, a landlord or estate agent chasing a date — and a house full of a lifetime's belongings.
How the remote process works
- Send photos and a short video by WhatsApp, or we attend and assess the property ourselves
- You receive a fully detailed written quotation, usually within 24 hours
- You give us a keep list of documents, photographs and sentimental items
- Key collection is arranged with the solicitor, agent, executor or neighbour
- Daily updates with photographs while the clearance runs
- A written completion report with disposal records and final photographs
The completion report
The report is what lets an overseas executor act with confidence: what was cleared, what was retained and where it is, what was disposed of and under which licence, what damage or safety issues were found, and photographs of every room at handover.
Retained items
Keepsakes are bagged, boxed, labelled and stored securely at the property or handed to a nominated person. We can also arrange courier collection at your cost.
What happens after the clearance
Most overseas families want the property ready for sale or handover. We offer a deep clean on completion, and hospital-grade disinfection through Shropshire Expert Cleaners LTD where there has been long-term illness or an unattended death. If the estate needs a fast, chain-free sale, we can refer you to No Chain Properties; once the introduction is made we step back.
