How we can help

Deceased Estate Clearance Melbourne FAQs

#1 Will a deceased estate clearance or house clearance be expensive?

Estate clearances vary in price depending on the specific nature of the situation. We cannot provide a definitive price without speaking to you first as we need to fully understand your requirements when it comes to clearing the property.

However as a general rule, the price is roughly 0.5% to 1% of the overall property value. This is because larger properties almost always require a more extensive approach to clearance.

If you would like an exact figure, then contact us. Based on a brief phone conversation, we can develop a service outline and fixed fee quote for you within 24 hours.

#2 The home that’s part of the estate is full of items in no particular order – can you manage this?

At Property Clearance we have been conducting estate clearances for a long period of time. Throughout our time in this line of work, we have encountered a wide variety of homes and different situations. Different homes come in considerably different conditions, which is why we offer adaptable services.

Our team can deal with the possessions that remain in the home regardless of how many there are. Even if it seems disorganised to you, it will not be a problem for us. We manage all clearances with respect and compassion with each individual situation.

#3 I have been told that I must keep detailed records of everything in the estate. Will you help me with this?

At Property Clearance, we understand that you have a lot of responsibility as Executor of the Estate. We recognise that this responsibility can even feel overwhelming at times for you. That is why our services extend to meet your every need during this time.

We will ensure that our team maintains an extensive record of everything that we remove from the property. This includes furniture, items of value and general possessions. You can rest assured that we will operate in a completely transparent and accountable manner. We have rigid policies in place that govern how we manage the removal of items from an estate.

This means that you get the benefits of record keeping, as a part of our estate clearance services.

#4 I am looking to save money by removing some of the items myself. Will this reduce my fee by much?

Clients often ask us if they can engage with the clearance process with a view to saving money. We do welcome your engagement, however we suggest that you only remove items of sentimental value. Despite the effort you might put into moving many of the items yourself, you will probably find that your fee does not decrease by much at all. We are experts at estate clearances and we have a wide range of equipment and a team of professionals.

This allows us to remove items far quicker that most people could. To illustrate this, it might take you and a friend as long as two days to move a few trailers full of items from a home. In comparison, we could move the same amount of items in little more than a few hours. From an economical perspective, you are better off leaving the bulk of the clearance to us.

Our staff also have no sentimental attachments to the home so we can operate in a methodical and ordered fashion within the property.

#5 Can you help me look for lost items of value in among the property of the estate?

In approximately one third of our clearance jobs, we uncover items of value that our clients were not aware of. During the course of our estate clearances, we sort through a lot of possessions. This means we are likely to encounter valuables that you, or your loved ones might have lost in the past. If this does occur, we will inform you promptly.

We always ensure that these types of things are provided to our clients as soon as possible. The most common items of this nature that we find are jewellery, cash and antiques. We also uncover a lot of items that have sentimental value to our clients. We make sure that all of these are documented and returned to you and your family.
