Neutral help dividing belongings during separation - furniture moved, items sorted, vehicles loaded. I'm a third party who handles the physical work without taking sides or getting involved in decisions.
Practical Help During Difficult Times
Splitting up is hard enough without the physical stress of dividing a shared home. That's where neutral third-party help makes a real difference.
💡 Pro tip: Have a clear list agreed beforehand of who's taking what major items - the physical work goes much faster when decisions are already made.
Why Neutral Help Matters
Here's the thing: having someone else there often reduces tension. It's easier to stay civil when there's a professional just getting on with the work.

What to Expect

🔧 DIY Tips
If you're handling property division yourself, here's how to make it easier:
🔧 Essential prep
- Strong boxes and bags (you'll need more than you think)
- Labels and marker pens (his/hers/joint)
- Moving blankets for furniture
- Tools for dismantling beds, wardrobes
- Friend or family member as neutral third party
📐 Working efficiently
- Do one room at a time - complete kitchen before starting bedroom
- Big items first - agree on furniture before getting into drawers
- Three-pile system - his, hers, to be decided later
- Label everything - boxes, bags, furniture pieces
- Take photos - of how things were packed/labeled
⚠️ Reducing conflict
- Set time limits for each session
- Have clear list of who gets what major items beforehand
- Don't leave items "to sort out later" - makes decisions now
- Consider working when one person is out if it's too tense
- Get heavy items moved early - reduces need for repeated contact
💡 Pro trick: If dividing collections or sets (books, DVDs, kitchen stuff), use the "one picks, one chooses" method - one person divides into two equal piles, other person chooses which pile they want. Surprisingly fair.
📋 Legal considerations
- Take photos of item conditions before moving
- Keep list of who took what major items
- Don't remove jointly-owned items without agreement
- If solicitors involved, check what you're allowed to take
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
⚠️ I'm not a mediator - I'm here for the physical work only. Decisions about who gets what need to be agreed between you, with solicitors if needed. I just implement those decisions practically.
Sensitive to situation: I understand this is difficult. I work quietly, efficiently, and professionally without judgement or unnecessary chat.
Exeter area properties: Used to working in everything from small flats to larger family homes across Devon. Can advise on what will/won't fit in typical removal vehicles or new properties if helpful.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does property split help involve?
I help with the practical side of dividing a shared home - moving furniture to different rooms or properties, helping sort belongings into 'his', 'hers', and 'joint' piles, dismantling and removing items, loading vehicles. I'm a neutral third party who just gets the physical work done without getting involved in decisions or disputes.
Do you take sides or get involved in disagreements?
No - I'm completely neutral. If you both agree an item goes to one person, I'll move it. If there's disagreement, that's for you to resolve - I just do the physical work once decisions are made. I'm there to reduce stress, not add to it.
Can you work when both people are present?
Yes, and sometimes that's actually easier - decisions get made on the spot and I can work efficiently. Other times one person prefers to be out while their belongings are being moved. Either arrangement works fine.
What about shared items that need splitting?
If you've agreed to split things like tools, kitchen equipment, or garden furniture, I can help divide them fairly into two piles and load vehicles. But the decisions about who gets what need to be agreed before I arrive - I'm not a mediator.
Do you help with moving to new properties?
Yes - often one person is moving out and needs their belongings taken to a new place. I can load vehicles, deliver to the new property, and help with basic setup there if needed. Hourly rate applies throughout.
