Here are two reasons why many people whose relatives have died choose to use deceased estate clearance services.
It makes the estate clearance experience less emotional for the living relatives
One reason for this service's popularity is that it makes clearing out a deceased family member's property much less emotionally draining. If a person's living relatives choose not to use this service, they usually have to look through hundreds or even thousands of the deceased's personal effects and deal with whatever memories, good or bad, these objects evoke. For people who are grieving, this can be a draining experience. They then have to go through the process of listing each of these individual items for sale and handle the posting or delivery of these goods to the shoppers who purchase them. This can add to their exhaustion and make them overwhelmed.
In contrast, if a group of living relatives decides to use this service, all they would need to do is remove the items from the property that were bequeathed to them or which have sentimental value, and then take a step back to let the clearance team gather everything else up and prepare it all for sale. Relieving themselves of this burden by using this service can make the emotional aspects of handling the deceased's estate far easier to cope with.
It's an effective way to sell off large quantities of belongings quickly
Another reason why so many people use this service is that it's a great way to sell off large quantities of a person's belongings quickly. Most people amass a lot of objects over their lifetime, and trying to sell these objects individually, without using a clearance service, can be challenging. Those who try to sell off their deceased relative's items in this way not only have to clean the objects, but also take photos and write advertisement descriptions for every item. Additionally, they will also usually have to endure the hassle of waiting around for shoppers to collect items, and some shoppers may try to haggle or may not pick up certain items.
For people who don't have the patience or time for this process, the services offered by a deceased estate clearance company can be a relief. Those who offer this service can take everything away and organise a sales event where shoppers can browse and purchase items from the collection, with minimal involvement from the deceased person's living relatives.
