Where Compassion Meets Project Management

Property transitions can be overwhelming. Whether you’re managing a deceased estate, preparing a property for sale, supporting an ageing parent, helping an NDIS participant, or dealing with a hoarding situation, there are often countless moving parts that need to be coordinated carefully. 

Lighthouse Property Care was built to make these situations simpler. We combine specialist cleaning, property refresh services, repairs, maintenance and project management into one seamless service, helping people move forward with confidence when a property needs to move forward too. 

Trusted property care services across Melbourne and Victoria. 

More Than Cleaning. A Better Way to Manage Property Transitions

Lighthouse Property Care was created after years of seeing the same problem again and again. 

Clients facing complex property situations were often left coordinating multiple providers themselves. 

Meanwhile the client was left juggling timelines, decisions, suppliers and unexpected challenges, often during some of the most stressful periods of their lives. 

Whether it was a deceased estate, a hoarding situation, an aged care transition or preparing a home for sale, there was rarely anyone responsible for managing the entire process. 

That’s where Lighthouse Property Care was born. Our role isn’t simply to deliver a service. 

Our role is to create a clear plan, coordinate the right people, manage the process from start to finish and ensure the property is ready for what’s next. 

From Novus To Lighthouse Property Care

A New Name With A Clearer Purpose 

After more than 10 years operating as Novus Cleaning, the business evolved and rebranded as Lighthouse Property Care in 2025. 

The change reflected something important. We had become much more than a cleaning company.  Clients were increasingly engaging us to coordinate entire property projects, manage trades, oversee property preparation works and guide them through complex situations. 

The name Lighthouse represents the role we now play. Providing clarity during uncertainty. Creating direction when things feel overwhelming. Helping clients navigate difficult property transitions with confidence. 

While the name has changed, our commitment to exceptional service, professionalism and care remains exactly the same.

Meet Nick​

Practical Experience. Calm Leadership. 

Founder Nick has spent more than a decade working across property services, specialist cleaning, aged care environments, hoarding projects, deceased estates and property preparation. 

Throughout that time, he developed a reputation for taking ownership of situations that many others avoided. 

Nick understands that property challenges are rarely just about the property itself. 

Behind every project is a family, an individual, a professional adviser or an organisation looking for a trusted solution. 

His strength lies in bringing order to complexity. 

By combining practical experience, project management expertise and a trusted network of suppliers and trades, Nick helps clients achieve outcomes without the stress of managing every detail themselves. 

Today, Lighthouse Property Care continues to operate on the same principle that has guided the business from day one: 

Take ownership. Remove the burden. Deliver the outcome.
