Document Retrieval Service

We can arrange a quote for a specialist document retrieval company to visit the home to search for and retrieve important documents, valuables and other personal effects before the property is cleared.

Maintenance

We can arrange a quote for the heating system to be drained down and the property to be made safe to leave empty. We can also arrange for regular inspection visits of unoccupied properties.
