House clearance after a death
The home of someone close to you, cleared with care
After a death, a great deal lands on the family at once. Emptying the home is often one of the heaviest and most emotional of those tasks. Nova Woningontruiming takes it off your hands completely. We work calmly, tidily and with respect for the person who has died and for the family, so that you can turn your attention to other things. You do not have to lift, sort or arrange anything yourself.
We always set personal and valuable belongings, documents, photographs and post aside, and we discuss them with you or with the executor, the person appointed to settle the estate. Usable contents are given a second life where possible; the rest we dispose of responsibly. We then hand the property over broom clean , so that you can pass it on to the landlord, the estate agent or the heirs without worry. All for a clear price agreed in advance.

House clearance after a death in the Groene Hart and the Randstad
After losing someone close to you, a great deal needs your attention. Nova takes the house clearance off your hands with care, whether the property is in Gouda, Woerden or Alphen aan den Rijn.
What does a clearance after a death involve?
There is often a notice period running on the tenancy, or the property has to be handed over for a sale. At the same time you want to take time to say goodbye and to keep personal belongings. We take both into account and work at your pace.
We set documents, photographs, jewellery and other valuable or personal belongings aside and hand them to you or to the executor. The remaining contents we remove respectfully and responsibly, and we hand the property over broom clean.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about a clearance after a death
What does a house clearance after a death cost?
The price depends on the size of the property and the amount of contents. After a short, no-obligation survey you receive a clear quote made to measure, with no surprises afterwards. That way you know exactly where you stand in advance.
How quickly can the property be cleared?
We can often start within a few days. That helps if a notice period is running on the tenancy or the property has to be handed over quickly. Get in touch with your preferred date and we will see what is possible.
What happens to personal belongings and documents?
Personal and valuable belongings, documents, photographs and post are always set aside and handed to you or to the executor. Nothing is simply thrown away; we always discuss things with you before we remove anything.
Do you work with the executor, the notary or the estate agent?
Yes. We are glad to liaise with the executor, the notary or the estate agent and we keep to the arrangements made about the handover and the schedule. That keeps the whole process smooth and free of worry for the family.
Do family members have to be present?
That is not necessary. After a short handover of the key and the arrangements, we carry out the clearance independently and keep you informed. Would you rather be there, or go through belongings yourself first? We will take all the time you need for that.
Is the property handed over broom clean for the landlord?
Yes. As standard we hand the property over broom clean, ready to pass on to the landlord, the social housing association or the new occupant. On request we also arrange an additional final clean.
Do you clear the loft, the cellar and the storeroom as well?
Yes, we take on the whole property, loft, cellar, storeroom and shed included. That way nothing is left behind and the property can be handed over in one go.
Can you work discreetly?
Yes. We work calmly and unobtrusively, without unnecessary commotion. If you prefer, we arrange the times so that it draws as little attention in the neighbourhood as possible.
