House clearance & probate valuations in Mayfair

When a long-held Mayfair home must be cleared, it usually follows a difficult moment: a bereavement, a move into care, or an estate that now falls to the family to settle. We handle that quietly and with respect, whether the property is a period house near Grosvenor Square, a mansion flat off Mount Street, or an apartment in one of the managed buildings around Berkeley Square. Across the W1 streets and into neighbouring Marylebone and St James’s, we work to the discretion and confidentiality that residents and their advisers expect, as a female-led, fully insured and police-checked team.

Clearing apartments and period homes around the squares

Mayfair properties bring particular practicalities. Many sit in mansion blocks and managed buildings with porters, service lifts and strict access arrangements, while the period houses around Mount Street and South Audley Street often face controlled parking and listed interiors. We plan each clearance in advance, coordinate with building managers and porters, protect communal areas, and carry out the work calmly. There is no need for you to lift, sort or pack anything. We take care of the entire clearance, leaving the property clean and ready.

Probate valuations for Mayfair estates

We prepare written probate valuations for executors, solicitors and families administering Mayfair estates, in line with HM Revenue and Customs requirements. Contents at this level often include antique furniture, fine art, silver and collectables, so an experienced eye matters: a precise, well-documented valuation of the household contents forms an important part of settling the estate, particularly where inheritance tax applies. Each valuation is prepared for your specific circumstances, and we are equally comfortable being instructed privately or by a professional adviser.

Mindful of fine contents and what can be saved

Few areas hold contents of the value found in Mayfair, and a thoughtful clearance recognises that. We assess everything carefully, identify what holds worth, and can buy quality pieces directly or advise on the best way to sell, which frequently offsets the cost of the work. We also re-home and recycle around 80 per cent of what we handle, passing on usable furniture and effects rather than sending them to landfill. Holding an Environment Agency waste carrier licence, we dispose of the remainder responsibly and keep you informed throughout.
