The Do’s & Dont’s

Only Fools Rush In!

When you’re faced with the need to clear a property, it’s crucial not to rush into it by flipping through the Yellow Pages and dialling a random house clearance service. Instead, reach out to us for a complimentary and equitable appraisal. Often, properties contain valuable items that might go unnoticed at first glance.

It’s also important not to whirl through the property hastily, armed with trash bags, and hastily stuff everything inside them just to finish the job quickly. Many individuals feel embarrassed when they discover that their relatives had been living in less-than-immaculate conditions, allowing the property to deteriorate. Consequently, they may hastily remove what they deem as rubbish, inadvertently discarding items of genuine value or interest.

Before you dispose of anything, make sure you’ve had a thorough evaluation. Contact us, and we can identify and assess items that others might overlook. While it’s possible that most of what you find is indeed rubbish, leaving everything in its place as you found it can make it much easier to spot items of interest and value.

Every year, millions of pounds’ worth of valuable items are carelessly discarded by individuals who embark on property clearances without seeking professional advice. It’s a mistake you don’t want to make.

Professional Probate Valuations

Before you lay a finger on anything, give us a call. We’ll gladly conduct a thorough assessment of the property, searching for items that may have value or interest. Even if you’ve already obtained a valuation for probate purposes from someone else, and it suggests that there’s little or no value in the contents, it’s still wise to seek a second opinion.

Sometimes, professional probate valuations may not have been conducted because the executor believes there’s nothing of value present. In such cases, it becomes even more critical to have the contents examined before proceeding with a clearance.

In conclusion, the key takeaway is not to underestimate the potential value hidden within a property. Rushing into a clearance without a proper assessment can lead to the inadvertent loss of valuable or historically significant items. We’re here to provide you with the expertise needed to ensure nothing of importance slips through the cracks.

Before you make any decisions or start clearing, reach out to us, and we’ll be more than happy to assist in identifying and preserving items that may hold significant value or historical interest.
