Overview
This page prices probate and bereavement clearance for Belsize Park NW3 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 51% privately rented and 3,000 households in total. Work starts at £520, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Probate, grant of letters of administration or written next of kin authority is checked before a date is booked, so there is never a dispute about who instructed the clearance.
Step 2
Drawers, files, pockets and furniture are checked for wills, deeds and paperwork before anything is loaded, and everything found is returned to the executor unopened.
Step 3
The executor confirms in writing what is being kept, sold, donated or disposed of, so the clearance itself has no ambiguity on the day.
Step 4
The property is cleared respectfully, with retained items boxed separately and items of possible value held aside for valuation.
Step 5
A deep clean, dated photographs and the keys returned, with the handover pack ready for the estate agent or solicitor's file.
Why choose us
We act only on confirmed executor, administrator or next of kin instruction, verified in writing before the first visit. Registered waste carrier with a transfer note per load, and secure, documented return of any paperwork or valuables found.
Two to three operatives as standard, scaling up for a full house with a tight sale deadline. A single point of contact is assigned for the duration of the instruction. Resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights.
Three to five working days for a full property once authority and the retention list are confirmed, faster where the family has already sorted personal items. Belsize Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in NW3, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-bed flat, full contents | £520 | 1 day | A complete clear with an itemised retention list, priced by volume once the executor has confirmed what is being kept, sold or donated. |
| Two/three-bed house, full contents | £980 | 1–2 days | A larger property holds a lifetime of possessions, and sorting for the family before loading takes longer than an equivalent house clearance for a move. |
| Retained items packed and stored, per box | £12 | included | Items the family wants to keep are boxed and labelled separately rather than mixed into the same load as items for disposal. |
| Document and paperwork search, per visit | £150 | 2–3 hrs | A dedicated pass through drawers, files and furniture for wills, deeds, bank correspondence and photographs before general clearance begins. |
| Donation and valuation liaison, per item | £40 | by arrangement | Furniture or items of possible value are held aside and referred to a valuer or charity the family nominates, rather than cleared with everything else. |
| Sale-ready clean and photograph handover | £320 | 4–6 hrs | A deep clean and dated photographs once the property is empty, which most estate agents ask for before marketing a probate sale. |

Scope
This was my second job for Hello services and I was delighted to have Adam and Sultan back again.

Working in Belsize Park
3,000 households sit inside the NW3 neighbourhood covering Belsize Park. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 93% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (39% owned, 51% privately rented) means a NW3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Belsize Park substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs in NW3, with solid brick on the party and external walls, and resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a NW3 customer twice.
Stucco villas and mansion blocks on the slope between Hampstead and Chalk Farm. That character decides the practical detail of probate and bereavement clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Belsize Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights — one reason two to three operatives as standard, scaling up for a full house with a tight sale deadline. A single point of contact is assigned for the duration of the instruction. Fitters travelling in use Belsize Park (Northern).

With 93% of Belsize Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Belsize Park — and 51% of NW3 homes being privately rented, with Belsize Village a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

Probate application, valuation for estate purposes or legal advice, with 7% of Belsize Park homes being houses, which sits with the solicitor or a professional valuer; House sale conveyancing, EPC certificates or estate agency instruction in this 93% flats neighbourhood — and 39% owner-occupation locally, which we can recommend but do not provide; Structural repairs or damp and pest treatment ahead of a sale, arranged separately with specialist trades; Clearance carried out without confirmed executor, administrator or next of kin authority.
