Disclaimer

The guides, Knowledge Base and interactive tools on this site provide general information about probate and property clearance in England and Wales. They are written for a general audience and cannot take account of the facts of any particular estate, property or family.

They are not legal, tax, financial or valuation advice, and they are not a substitute for advice from a solicitor, a probate practitioner, an accountant or a qualified valuer.

Reading this site, using a tool on it, or sending us an enquiry does not create a solicitor–client, adviser–client or other professional relationship between you and Hoarders Cleaners, trading as Probate Clearance London. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything published here without taking your own advice.

Any cost figure produced by the clearance cost estimator, and any schedule produced by the probate timeline planner, is indicative only. It is generated from the answers you give, without an inspection of the property or the estate paperwork.

Actual costs depend on what is found on site. Actual probate timelines depend on the Probate Registry, HMRC, the assets in the estate and any disputes. A price we will stand behind is only ever given as a written quotation after an assessment.

We take care to keep this content accurate and current, and each page carries a last-updated date. Law, procedure, fees and waste regulation change, and pages may not reflect the most recent position at the moment you read them. We give no warranty that the content is complete, current or fit for any particular purpose.

Everything on this site describes the law and procedure of England and Wales. Succession law and procedure differ materially in Scotland (where the process is confirmation) and in Northern Ireland. If the estate is administered there, take local advice.

Where we link to a third-party site — such as GOV.UK, the Environment Agency or the Information Commissioner's Office — we do so because it is useful. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability.

If something on this site looks wrong or out of date, please tell us: info@houseandofficeclearance.co.uk, 0794 455 7700, or 430 Hackney Rd, London E2 6QL, United Kingdom. We will check it and correct it.
