How we can help

FAQs – Estate Clearance Sydney

#1 Some of my family members do not understand the estate clearance process. Can you help?

Many people are not familiar with that happens to a deceased estate when someone passes or moves into long-term care. When this situation does occur, it is normally very emotional for everyone involved. A combination of these two factors can make it difficult for some families to agree on what to do and there can be a lot of overwhelming pressure on family members to undertake this action. This is something we see quite often, and we can assist you.

Our team will write up a very detailed service outline after our initial phone meeting. This outline will describe every stage of the process in detail. We will issue you with a copy of our service outline. You can then show your family members.

Hopefully, this will be enough to reassure them that the estate clearance is in safe hands and will be completed in a professional and efficient manner.

#2 I believe there are family heirlooms and items of great value in the estate. How do I find them?

At Property Clearance, we frequently find valuable items that our clients had thought they had lost but could not find within a home. In fact, we encounter these situations in about one third of our clearances. If you suspect that there are belongings in the estate that are of value to you, let us know.

We go through all the possessions methodically and adhere to strict rules and regulations in the house as a part of the clearance process. This means that we can find things that have been lost for a very long time. We always return valuables such as cash, antiques and jewellery to our clients.

During the clearance process, we do keep accurate records as we manage the removal of items. This means that everything we come across will be recorded.

#3 A few of my family members want to remove as many items as possible to reduce costs. Will this work?

We always tell our clients that it is not a good idea to try removing items to reduce the cost if you are going to engage our services. There are several reasons why. Firstly, it is a lot of effort to clear a house without the right equipment or with little experience of where to start and what to do with all the items within the home.

Secondly, this does not actually reduce your fee by much at all. If you were to try, you would probably find yourself working for a day or more to move a relatively small number of possessions within the home.

Our team can move the same number of items in only a few hours. It is best to save yourself the effort – the work you put in won’t be reflected in the money you save.

#4 My family and I want to go through some of the property during the clearance. Can you make this happen?

We certainly can. Our services are centred on your needs. This means that you can choose how much you want to be involved. If you feel that it is all a bit much, then you are welcome to step back while we are clearing.

Alternatively, you are welcome to take a more involved approach. We also invite our clients to remove any items that have sentimental value to them prior to us beginning our property clearances. We do this because you are best positioned to identify these types of items.

At Property Clearance, we understand that everyone is different. That is why we take the time to identify your individual needs, before beginning with every individual estate clearance.

#5 What is your policy for recording what items are removed?

As a part of our role, we keep detailed records of everything that we dispose of. Our team is familiar with your obligations as an Executor of a Will. We know that you must keep records of your own, and we try to help you with that.

To do so, we carefully list everything that we dispose in a transparent and accessible manner. We can work closely with you during these stages if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Alternatively, we can continue with the clearance on your behalf and provide you with a copy of our records.
