If you are considering having a house clearing, then you may have some questions about the entire process and what exactly it entails. One of the biggest questions in your mind is probably how will the property look afterwards. Plus, you may wonder if you will still need to do anything with it. Read on as we take a look at exactly what you can expect when a house is cleared of all its contents.
The reasons for clearing a house
For most people, a house clearance is carried out in the event of the death of a loved one. However it can also be because a loved one is moving into a care home, or even because someone is downsizing and doesn’t know where to start when it comes to reducing their belongings. This can be a difficult time for all of those involved and using the services of a professional house clearance company can help to make things much easier.
For many family members who are struggling with a bereavement, the idea of clearing a loved one’s home can be too distressing. This is where seeking the assistance of a professional house clearing company can really help.
What’s involved in clearing a house?
The process of house clearance involves the emptying and decluttering of the property, making sure that all of the items are removed in an appropriate manner and where it is possible that they are disposed of responsibly or, if possible, repurposed.
CleverClear, the leading house clearance company in Manchester, works in an orderly manner to ensure that nothing is overlooked. We work systematically through each rooms of the property including the loft, garage, the cellar if there is one and even the garden space. This will ensure that no items are overlooked. The process that CleverClear go through will vary from one property to another and can be as involved as emptying the entire property or being asked to just remove specific items or even categories of belongings.
What happens to the things that are removed during a house clearance?
During a house clearance, CleverClear, who you have contracted to undertake the work will work meticulously moving from one room to the next carefully sorting out the items that are there. They will categorise all of the items that are in the property into those that can be sold, donated to charity, recycled or as a last resort disposed of. This will be done based on the condition and value of the items.
This process is important for any eco-conscious company like us as it helps to avoid sending too much to landfill. Many things like household items, clothing and furniture can be kept out of landfill and given a new lease of life elsewhere – this is something we pride ourselves on.
Once everything has been sorted out in the best way possible then it is removed from the property carefully to avoid damage to the property and those items that are being recycled, sold or donated. Those items that are being disposed of will also be removed from the property and disposed of in a responsible manner.
How is the property left?
The aim of any reputable house clearance company such as CleverClear is to leave the property in a clean and tidy state. This means that they will ensure that there are no items left behind in the property, and that it has been swept or hoovered to remove any rubbish.
In the case of a rental property this will ensure that the property is in a good state so that the keys can be handed back to the landlord. In the case of a non-rental property the keys can be handed to the solicitor, ensuring that the property is now ready to be placed on the market and sold.
