EXECUTORS

Turn the property work into practical decisions.

An executor can have several people to keep informed and many belongings to consider. We help with the physical clearance and the choices around it, so the scope, arrangements and costs can be discussed before the work begins.

Establish what should be retained

Bring together the instructions for belongings that are to stay with the estate or go to family members. Identify important paperwork and anything awaiting a decision. Clear instructions help us distinguish the contents to remove from those to leave in place.

Understand the quote and the options

Tell us about all the areas involved, including lofts, garages and outbuildings. We can discuss a full or partial clearance, possible appraisal or auction arrangements, and any additional services. Relevant costs and fees should be considered together before you decide.

Arrange access, even from a distance

If you live away from the property, tell us who holds the keys and who can attend if needed. Photographs can help explain the contents. We can discuss arrangements with you and any appointed representative before booking the work.

Prepare for the property’s next use

If the home needs cleaning, refurbishment or garden tidying, raise this when planning the clearance. We can discuss the intended condition of the property and agree the work required, including any handover information you would find useful.

A LITTLE CLARITY

Questions you
may have.

If your circumstances are different, we’re here to talk them through.

Speak to our team
Can I contact you before all decisions have been made?

Yes. Explain which decisions are settled and which items or rooms should remain untouched. We can discuss the scope without assuming the whole property is ready for clearance.

Could belongings be sold to help with the cost?

Suitable items may have resale potential. HCP Auctions can discuss appraisal and sale options, along with the relevant fees. Any effect on the overall clearance cost depends on the contents and arrangements agreed.

Can the work be arranged if I am not local?

Tell us the property’s location and who can provide access. We can then discuss the practical arrangements and whether an inspection or attendance is needed before the clearance is booked.
