We provide tailored recommendations and estimates for appropriate security measures, which may include:

• Door and window locks

2. Fixtures, Fittings & Chattels

We create a detailed inventory with photographs of all permanent fixtures, fittings, and any furniture remaining in the property.

• Smaller items can be packed and moved to secure storage.
• Sale of goods and chattels can be arranged via public auction or private sale.
• We can obtain quotes from reputable clearance buyers and auctioneers.

3. Clearance & Cleaning

We offer a recommended scope of work and cost estimate to best present the property for sale, which may include:

• Removal and disposal of unwanted items
• Garden clearance and maintenance
• Full property cleaning — floors, windows, kitchens, and bathrooms
• Removal of old floor coverings and curtains; supply and installation of new window coverings or boarding
• Minor repairs (e.g. broken glass, door handles, leaks, or stains)

4. Utilities & Services

Where appropriate, we will:

• Drain down water and heating systems
• Provide utility meter readings and council tax information

Please note: Council Tax is typically payable on vacant properties.

Regular written inspection reports will be provided from instruction to completion.
With your consent, we can liaise with neighbours to monitor and report any issues.

Intelligent, cost-effective preparation can:

• Speed up the sales process
