Do you do probate house clearance?
We help the family sort, pack and move belongings, and move a surviving partner or relative. We are not a probate service or a house clearance firm, so we do not give legal advice or empty a property for disposal.
How much does probate house clearance cost?
Prices vary with the size of the property and how much it holds, and clearance firms usually quote by volume, so get at least two or three written quotes. Chayce does not clear properties for disposal, so we do not quote for it, but our sorting, packing and moving help starts at £995.
Can I clear a house before probate is granted?
That is a question for the executor and the estate’s solicitor. Belongings can form part of the estate, so check before anything is given away, sold or thrown out. See GOV.UK’s guidance on wills, probate and inheritance.
Who is allowed to deal with the home after a death?
Usually the executor named in the will, or an administrator if there is no will. Your solicitor or GOV.UK can confirm who has the authority in your case.
How much does help with sorting and moving cost?
Packing and an insured removal start at £995 with Bronze Essentials. Declutter support starts with Silver Comfort at £1,850. A Discovery Consultation costs £150. The final cost depends on the size of the home and the help you need.
Can you help a surviving husband, wife or partner move?
Yes. We can run a downsize or a move closer to family with a dedicated coordinator, at a pace that suits them.
What happens to items nobody wants?
The family decides: keep, sell, donate or let go. We do not take bulk items away for disposal, but we can help plan donation, and you can use a local clearance firm for whatever remains.
Is the removal insured?
Yes. Every Chayce removal is fully insured against loss or damage in transit, and the cover is set out in your service agreement before the move begins.
Do you work outside Northampton?
Yes. We are based in Northampton and arrange moves across the whole UK.
