Acting in the administration of an estate? Priory House Clearance provides discreet, fully documented probate house clearances for solicitors, executors, administrators and will-writers across Christchurch, Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset. A probate clearance isn't an ordinary house clearance — there's a process to respect, a valuation to protect and an estate file that needs clean, defensible paperwork.
A deceased's chattels usually need assessing at open-market value as at the date of death — the Section 160 (Inheritance Tax Act 1984) basis HMRC uses for Inheritance Tax. So we clear nothing until you confirm any required probate valuation is complete, and we'll provide a written inventory and flag items of value — antiques, jewellery, collections, vehicles — for your RICS or specialist valuer first. We're a clearance specialist, not a valuer: our role is to make sure the clearance never compromises the figures.
Wills, share certificates, passports, deeds, photographs — anything that looks important is set aside for the instructing professional or family, never cleared. Personal data is handled in line with UK GDPR.
Solicitors and probate practitioners, professional and lay executors, administrators, will-writers, attorneys and court-appointed deputies, estate agents and care homes across the BCP area.
