WHAT do we do

Estate Property Services

The reasons many of our clients contact us is varied, but the one common thread is emotion:
Moving  can be a stressful process,
–  whether it is by choice or for unexpected reasons,
–  how do you decided what to take and not take?
–  what do you do with everything that isn’t going with you?
Or the sadness of losing a family member or friend
–  being overwhelmed with the task of sorting through
possessions and property
–  the volume of decisions that need to be make.

Whether it’s the family home, a unit, villa, or a room in a nursing home Estate Property Services is experienced and can provide expert advice with time saving assistance in sorting through the property.  We are based in Port Macquarie NSW and service the villages and towns in the Hastings & Camden Haven areas.  Services may be provided outside these areas, however additional travel costs may apply.

More Details:

  • Moving into retirement accommodation – we will work with you to sort through possessions, helping you with downsizing decisions, sorting through what you want to keep and what you don’t.  We can even sit down with you and your new floor plan and work with you to decide what will fit and where it can go, making it easier to decide what to take or not take.
  • Deceased Estates,  in communication with you, we will sort through possessions, locating items being bequeathed & look for important documents.  We will set these items aside and help make arrangements for them to be collected or forwarded to you.
  • Sell, donate, recycle or dispose unwanted items.  For those things you don’t wish to keep there are different options:   SellDonate, Recycle or Dispose.
    While the main aim is to have nothing left at the end, we will endeavour to throw out as little as possible.  Making the most of on-line selling & garage sale (where premises permit), plus working with local charitable organisations & second-hand dealers so your unwanted items can be valued, used and appreciated again by others.
    PLEASE NOTE – we only sell furniture etc as part of clear-out process, from the property.  We don’t have the capacity to come into a property and buy furniture etc or to remove it from the property to sell.  Thanks for your understanding.
  • Stage home (optional)  If selling the property is your plan, then we can either empty the home to present it clean & tidy.  Or if you would prefer we can style the home in a simple & uncluttered manner using existing furniture and fittings.  Then work with your chosen real estate agent if required.
  • Ongoing maintenance (optional)  While the home is on the market we can either maintain the lawns/gardens for you or provide a list of local lawn care companies to choose from.
  • Anything else?  Contact us to discuss how we can help.

WHO are we

Estate Property Services is Ian & Debbie Lowth.

Entrusting us to help during this emotional time of change in your life will mean working with a business who is known for their integrity, honesty, reliability and respect.

Personally, we know what it is like to sort through a parent’s possessions after they have moved into a nursing home and then when they’ve passed away.  We know that this process of sorting through a lifetime of possessions and memories, and deciding what to do with it all can be stressful, emotional and difficult.

Add to this, the complication of not living in the area, or trying to find the time in your busy schedule to deal with the family estate is hard   –    this is where we come in…!

Since starting our business in 2017, we have helped & worked with many clients.  We have worked with people downsizing from large family homes to retirement villas;  from villas into aged care rooms;  cleared out deceased estates from nursing home rooms, villas, family homes and hoarder properties;  and pretty much everything in between.  The common message at the end of each job – “we couldn’t have done this without you, thank you.

Contact us to arrange a consultation visit, and we’ll meet with you to discuss and assess what you need, and how we can best help achieve that.
(NB: Consultation fee will be deducted from your first days costs).

Testimonials

We have had the privilege of helping many people since we started our business in 2017.  Here are some of the many encouraging & grateful comments we have received from our clients…

from Susan Koch

“Thank you for everything you have done to help Mum and I, and thank you for making my life easier.  I am very grateful your business exists.”

from Fiona Campbell

“The services provided by Debbie & Ian were outstanding and we would recommend them without hesitation!
Where does one start when in the position of needing to sort through a loved family member’s accumulation of possessions gathered over a lifetime, an overwhelming and daunting task, complicated further as we live interstate.
Building a rapport with Debbie & Ian from the first meeting was easy as negotiations were conducted with care, sensitivity, respect and dignity, values which clearly followed through to every aspect of the estate clearance process including dealings with those they came into contact with and the coordination of redistributing our loved family member’s possessions.
Regular updates via phone and email were invaluable in managing the process from interstate and possessions were sold or redistributed ethically and creatively with the aim to throw away as little as possible.
We found Debbie & Ian to be extremely trustworthy and their services are of exceptional value. The catch cry from my family when there is mention of sorting, downsizing or estate clearance will be “You need a Debbie and Ian!
We cannot thank Debbie & Ian enough and they’re worth their weight in gold.”

from Carolyn Osborne & Robyn Chidley

“Thank you very much for such a wonderful job at Mum’s home with your compassion, caring and always calm assistance to help us consolidate two homes into one.  You are a wonderful team and your excellent organisation and great clean up service is fantastic.  Between us what would have taken several weeks for Mum and me, we did in two days.  We don’t have to go to the tip or dispose of packing boxes either as you have helped us with that and Mum’s house almost looks back to normal.  Thanks again.”

from John Prosser

I employed Estate Property Services to prepare my Aunt’s home for sale.  She was a lifelong hoarder and absolutely filled her two-storey house with 90years of accumulating, the quantity of things was overwhelming.  Ian and Debbie tackled the enormous task in hand very professionally.  They communicated with me throughout the assignment with ongoing advice on costs and details that required consideration.  They completed the whole undertaking within the agreed timeframe and very much to my total satisfaction.  They were cost effective and provided a report indicating what had been achieved.  I cannot recommend Estate Property Services more highly.

from Tony and Kathy Ivits

“Thank you again for your hard work and diligence.  You are very well organised and very honest.”
