How does probate house clearance work?
After losing a loved one, in some cases, you’ll need to obtain a grant of probate before making any financial plans or putting the property for sale.
Prior to clearing the property, you’ll have to check if any items have been specifically gifted in the will. If so, keep those items safe, and make sure they’re not removed by the clearance company.
You may have to pay Inheritance Tax on the value of the household contents. If this is the case, you’ll have to get a valuation of the contents before the clearance.
Once this has been carried out, the house clearance company can begin. They’ll dispose of, recycle, or donate the rest of the items in the property, doing a lot of the hard work for you.
Choosing a probate clearance company
Finding the right company for your probate house clearance is vital. Choosing the wrong company could cause further stress if they incorrectly dispose of your items, potentially leading to fines of up to £50,000.
Look out for the following pointers when searching:
Waste carriers license
All legitimate house clearance companies will have a waste carriers license that you can cross-reference with the Environment Agency. This will mean they’re a licensed professional and can safely carry out your house clearance.
How much does probate clearance cost?
Probate house clearance will cost an average of £400 to clear a medium-sized property. The true cost of your house clearance will vary and factors like location, size of property, volume and type of items will affect the price.
Certain items like mattresses or fridges may be charged per item depending on the company you use.

Can I clear the property before probate?
In some cases, you cannot clear a property before a grant of probate is secured.
You can plan what you wish to do with the items in the property before probate, then take action once probate is granted. You can also start to declutter the property to separate any valuables.
Researching probate house clearance companies and letting them know they’ll be needed soon is advised.
