Camden · NW3 · Probate and bereavement clearance
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hampstead fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking probate and bereavement clearance near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House? Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £520 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Probate and bereavement clearance in Hampstead NW3 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Camden, most of them Georgian and early Victorian. 11,433 households sit inside this NW3 patch, 84% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House rather than a London average.
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. Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond.
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. Hampstead (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from Hampstead (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 84% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hampstead actually produces.
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 Hampstead
11,433 households sit inside the NW3 neighbourhood covering Hampstead. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 84% of those homes are flats.
Because 45% of Hampstead is privately rented and 17% socially rented, a lot of NW3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Hampstead substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, measured on the walk in from Hampstead (Northern) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, which is what a 84% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hampstead actually produces is the mistake that costs a NW3 customer twice.
Georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep. That character decides the practical detail of probate and bereavement clearance here far more than the borough boundary does. Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond. Nearest station is Hampstead (Northern), and 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.
