Hoarded House Clearance Longtown Before & After Photographs
What Paperwork Do I Need to Provide for FEAC Legal to Start Clearance?
When arranging a house clearance — particularly after a bereavement or involving a hoarded property — it’s natural to wonder what documentation is required before work can begin. At FEAC Hoarded House Clearance, in partnership with FEAC Legal, we make this process as simple and stress-free as possible.
Our goal is to handle every clearance professionally and legally, ensuring transparency, security, and compliance from start to finish. To help you prepare, here’s an overview of the paperwork and authorisations we typically need before commencing clearance work.
Why Paperwork Matters
House clearance often involves handling personal possessions, estate assets, and property access on behalf of others. Having the correct paperwork ensures:
- Legal authority for us to enter and clear the property.
- Protection for the estate, executor, and family.
- Compliance with UK waste disposal and probate regulations.
- Clarity about what should be removed, recovered, or retained.
By collecting this information before clearance begins, we can act swiftly, respectfully, and in full accordance with the law.
1. Proof of Ownership or Authority to Act
Before we start, FEAC Legal must confirm that the person instructing the clearance has legal authority over the property and its contents. Acceptable documentation includes:
- Grant of Probate – for executors managing a deceased estate.
- Letters of Administration – if there is no will but you are the appointed administrator.
- Solicitor’s Instruction – where we are acting on behalf of a law firm or estate agent.
- Power of Attorney (LPA) – if you’re managing the property on behalf of a living individual who cannot do so themselves.
- Proof of Ownership – such as a title deed or utility bill in your name if you are the property owner.
If these documents are not yet available, our team can liaise with your solicitor or executor directly to confirm authority before work begins.
2. Signed Instruction Form
To protect both the client and the estate, FEAC Legal requires a signed instruction form outlining:
- The client’s contact details and authority to act.
- The property address and access arrangements.
- Any specific requests (e.g., items to retain, secure, or appraise).
- Confirmation that the client understands our terms of service.
This document ensures that we follow your instructions precisely and maintain a clear record of responsibility throughout the clearance.
3. Property Access Arrangements
If you hold the property keys, you can hand them to our team on-site. However, FEAC Legal can also collect keys securely from:
- Solicitors or estate agents.
- Neighbours or caretakers (with written consent).
- Lockboxes, security firms, or property managers.
To do so, we simply require written authorisation granting us permission to access the premises — this can be in the form of an email or signed letter.
4. Photo Identification
To verify your identity and prevent unauthorised instruction, we ask for one form of photo ID, such as:
- Passport
- Driving licence
- Valid UK identity card
This helps us ensure that we are liaising directly with the correct authorised person, whether you are the executor, solicitor, or property owner.
5. Any Relevant Estate or Insurance Documents (If Applicable)
In cases where the clearance involves an estate under probate, or where items are being removed for valuation or insurance purposes, we may request supporting documents such as:
- A copy of the probate valuation (if already completed).
- Estate reference numbers or solicitor details.
- Insurance policy documents, where valuables or high-value contents are involved.
These documents help us coordinate seamlessly with solicitors and insurers, ensuring that every recovered item is handled, valued, and recorded correctly.
6. Written Confirmation of Items to Keep or Discard
If there are specific items you wish to keep, donate, or have appraised, we ask for this in writing prior to clearance. This avoids any confusion and ensures all instructions are carried out exactly as requested.
We also document and photograph any items of potential value during clearance, with full transparency on what is retained, recycled, or ethically disposed of.
We Handle the Rest
Once we receive the required documentation, FEAC Legal and FEAC Hoarded House Clearance handle everything — from arranging clearance dates to coordinating probate valuations, secure key collection, and waste disposal.
We are fully licensed, insured, and AFTA-certified, meaning every clearance is carried out in compliance with UK environmental and legal standards.

With the correct paperwork in place, you can rest assured that your clearance will be carried out with professionalism, compassion, and respect for the property and its contents.
