Hermens Property · London and Surrey
Practical, considered property support
Our role is to help executors make informed decisions about the property, its condition and the work needed before a sale or handover. Every instruction is tailored to the property, with contractor costs and any Hermens coordination fee explained before work is authorised.
02
Agree a clear scope of work
Hermens can coordinate appraisals, clearance, cleaning, maintenance and marketing. Costs and third-party fees should be agreed before instructions are placed.
03
Keep beneficiaries informed
We can provide property-related progress updates, quotations and photographs to the appointed contact, making decisions easier where family members live away.
What happens next?
Tell us the address, who is authorised to instruct work and what needs attention. We can discuss the relevant services and agree a sensible sequence, whether you need one quotation or coordinated preparation for a sale.
Hermens provides property-related services, not probate legal advice, reserved probate work or legal estate administration. Where a formal tax valuation, regulated advice or specialist work is needed, an appropriately qualified independent professional should be appointed.
