Estate clearance after a death in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean: our approach
After a death, Molenbeek families are dealing with their parents' or grandparents' house, sometimes bought several decades ago. In the lower part of the municipality, these workers' houses have several floors, a cellar and sometimes a former workshop at the back of the plot, full of tools and materials. Towards Karreveld, they are more often 1930s houses with gardens. We take time to sort with the heirs, set aside documents, photos and precious items, and keep to the deadlines set by the notary or the sale. When several heirs are involved, a single point of contact simplifies decisions and avoids back-and-forth.
If the person who died was renting in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, the timing depends on the lease and the arrangement with the landlord. We set the clearance date around the check-out inspection and can follow on with a clean. The VAT-inclusive invoice can be made out to the estate, so the notary finds it in the file.
Estate clearance in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean: organising things on site
The family home to be cleared in Molenbeek is often a multi-storey worker's house bought long ago, with a cellar, an attic and sometimes a former workshop at the back of the plot that can only be reached through the hallway or a yard. That workshop may hold tools, workbenches and materials gathered over a working life, and we count them in the volume from the visit. Towards Karreveld, 1930s houses have a garden and sometimes a garage. In the narrow streets of lower Molenbeek, a space reservation is essential for the whole job, and we let the adjoining neighbours know. With the heirs, we gather documents, photos, jewellery and papers for the notary before anything is removed. A single contact person is enough, even when the family lives abroad. The house is handed back empty and swept.
Molenbeek estate clearance: Maritime, Chaussée de Gand and Osseghem
Some estates include a ground-floor shop to vacate as well as the family home. This is common along the Chaussée de Gand: shop windows, counters and leftover stock are first reviewed with the heirs, who decide what to sell themselves, before we clear the rest. On market days loading there gets tricky, so we choose the date accordingly.
In the Maritime district, near the canal, social housing stands beside converted industrial buildings. If the parent was a social tenant, the manager sets the key handover, and we schedule the family sort ahead of that deadline. Towards Osseghem and Scheutbos, when the deceased lived in an apartment block, cellar, lift and timing are arranged with the building manager. The heirs have nothing to remove themselves: our team sorts everything on site and sends each stream to the social economy or a suitable recycling channel.
