House Clearance for Solicitors, Executors & Estate Agents

HFC Clearance is a small, family-run house and estate clearance team covering the Midlands. We work alongside solicitors, executors, letting agents and estate agents who need a property cleared reliably, sensitively and with the right paperwork. One point of contact, a fixed price in writing, and a job done properly — so you can pass it on with confidence.

Who we work with

• Solicitors & probate practitioners — coordinated estate clearances, handled with care and discretion.
• Executors & administrators — practical help clearing the property while you manage the estate.
• Letting & managing agents — fast end-of-tenancy clearances to get a property re-let.
• Estate agents — empty, swept properties ready for photos, viewings and sale.

How it works for professionals

1. Send us the details. Address, access, and a rough idea of contents (photos help, but aren't essential).

2. Fixed quote in writing. Usually within a couple of hours during working time, so you can update your client.

3. Key collection. We collect keys from your office, a neighbour or a key safe — no one needs to attend.

4. Clearance & handover. We clear, sweep and secure the property, and send before-and-after photos.

5. Paperwork & invoice. You receive a waste transfer note for the file and a clear invoice.

Probate and estate clearances, handled sensitively

We understand estate work is often emotional for the family and time-sensitive for you. We set aside anything the family asks us to, flag items of apparent value before removing them, and never rush a property. Everyday items can usually be cleared before probate is granted, while valuables stay in place until probate is issued and values confirmed. Families researching this can read our guide to clearing a house after a death.

What you and your clients get

• A waste transfer note on every job — your Duty of Care record under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
• Full insurance — £500,000 public liability, important when accessing estates and tenanted properties.
• A licensed waste carrier — Environment Agency registration CBDU605135.
• Up to 95% diverted from landfill — reused, donated or recycled wherever possible.
• Fixed prices in writing — no surprises, and invoicing to suit your process.

Common questions

Can you work to a probate timeline? Yes — we're used to working around grants of probate and solicitor instructions, and we'll hold or schedule the clearance to fit.

Do you provide a waste transfer note? Always — on every job, for your file and your client's records.

Can you invoice us directly? Yes — we're happy to invoice the firm or the estate, whichever suits.

Can the family set items aside? Of course — tell us what to keep and where to leave it, and we'll work around it carefully.
