How to Prepare for a House Clearance: A Step-by-Step Guide

House clearance can feel overwhelming, whether you’re dealing with a deceased estate, preparing a property for sale, or simply decluttering. At House Clearance Scotland & Northern England, we make the process simple, efficient, and stress-free. This step-by-step guide will help you prepare for your house clearance to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Step 1: Decide What Needs to Be Cleared

Before the clearance day, determine which items should be removed and which you want to keep. Consider:
Valuable or sentimental items – Set these aside to keep or pass on to family.
Important documents – Secure passports, wills, deeds, and financial records.
Items for donation – If you want to donate certain items, let us know.
Items for disposal – Everything else can be cleared by our team.

Tip: If you’re unsure about an item’s value, we can help assess whether it’s worth keeping or selling.

Step 2: Inform Us of Any Special Requirements

At House Clearance Scotland & Northern England, we tailor our service to your needs. If you have specific instructions, let us know in advance:
Do you need white goods disconnected? We can handle standard connections.
Do you need carpets removed? We can uplift them upon request.
Do you require key collection? We can collect keys from solicitors, estate agents, or neighbors if you’re unavailable.

Step 3: No Need to Pack – We Do It All!

Unlike a moving service, there’s no need to pack anything. Our professional team sorts through everything on the day, ensuring unwanted items are removed, recycled, or donated responsibly.

Step 4: Schedule the Clearance

We usually require just 48 hours’ notice.
We start at 9 AM and complete most clearances in 3-4 hours.
If an extra van load is needed, we offer a second load at 50% of the original fee.

Step 5: Let Us Handle the Hard Work

On the day of the clearance:
✔ Our team arrives promptly and gets to work.
✔ We clear everything you’ve requested, including furniture, appliances, and even food from the cupboards.
✔ Items are sorted for donation, recycling, or disposal at licensed centers.

Step 6: Final Check & Key Return

If you’re present, you can inspect the property before we leave. If you’re not available, we’ll return the keys to your solicitor, estate agent, or neighbor.
