Estate agents
You cannot photograph, value or show a property that is still full, and the owner or the heirs are rarely in a position to empty it quickly or well.
A full property photographs badly, values low and sits. Getting it emptied is usually the most useful thing that can happen to it, and it is also the thing least likely to happen on its own.
Send us to it. We look, record, price once, and hand the property back swept and empty, ready to photograph. Fixtures that should stay — a fitted kitchen, wardrobes, a stove — are agreed in advance and stay.
The date we agree is the date. Your shoot, your viewings and your compromis do not move because we ran over.
Where there has been a death, we check that the estate question is settled before we start. That protects the sale as much as it protects the family.
What we commit to
One fixed price, agreed before anything is touched, on one invoice from one company.
The price is set at the visit and written down. It is not an estimate, a starting point or a range, and it is not recalculated once the work is done.
If the job turns out heavier than it looked, that is our problem and not your bill.
The price moves only if what is actually in the building is materially different from what was recorded and agreed at the visit.
Every room, cellar, attic, garage and closed door is photographed and confirmed with you before the price is set.
The record is what the price is fixed against. You see it, you correct it, and you agree it before you agree the price. Nothing is discovered later that you did not know about.
You have the written offer within 48 hours of the visit.
Written, itemised, and yours to sit on. Nothing is asked of you at the visit itself.
Unmarked vehicles, no signage, and nothing on the street that announces what is happening inside.
Neighbours, tenants and passers-by learn nothing from us.
One call, and the clearance leaves your desk.
You do not coordinate access, sequencing or disposal, and you are not the escalation point when something goes wrong. One company is accountable and one person answers the phone.
We will not empty a deceased person’s home before the heirs have settled whether they accept the estate.
If heirs approach us before they have approached you, we tell them in writing to speak to their notary first, and we wait. You do not inherit the problem.
The date we agree is the date, and we do not move it.
Sales, expert visits, handovers and works schedules run against ours. If we cannot hold a date we say so before you commit to it, not after.
The property is handed back swept and empty, ready to photograph or hand over.
Fixtures that should stay — a fitted kitchen, wardrobes, a stove — are agreed in advance and stay where they are.
The visit is the only route to a fixed price
It costs nothing, it commits you to nothing, and the written offer follows within 48 hours. Bring whoever you want to have in the room.
