Notaries
Heirs empty houses before they have decided about the estate, and the acceptance question lands back on your desk after it can no longer be undone.
Emptying the home of the deceased is the textbook example of an act that can constitute tacit acceptance of an estate. Most clearance firms do not raise it, because raising it delays the job.
We raise it first, in writing, with every private caller where there has been a death: decide about the estate before you let anyone empty the house, us included. If heirs come to us before they have come to you, we send them to you and we wait.
Beyond that: one visit, one recorded scope, one fixed price, one invoice made out as the file requires. Dates are agreed and held, so a signing or a sale does not move because a house is still full.
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.
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.
One invoice, addressed to the estate, the company or the owner, carrying the references your file needs.
Tell us how it must be made out and what it must quote. It arrives that way the first time.
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 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.
