We recently carried out a free house clearance in Dunbar for a client who needed the property emptied before putting it on the market. Below, we’ll go over their requirements and how we completed the clearance.
Customer Requirements
“My late uncle’s house in Dunbar needs to be fully cleared. He was a keen collector, so the place is filled with antique furniture, books, and various bits and pieces he gathered over the years. The attic and shed are also full, and I haven’t had time to go through everything. We’ve taken anything of sentimental value, but I need a team that can handle the rest efficiently so we can move forward with selling the house.”
Contents Overview
The property contained a mix of old and modern items, including:
- A large oak bookcase filled with antique books and historical journals.
- A Victorian writing desk with various documents and stationery.
- A set of leather armchairs, slightly worn but still in good condition.
- A collection of vintage cameras and photography equipment.
- Various framed prints and paintings, mainly of local landscapes.
- Kitchen cupboards full of crockery, cookware, and unused appliances.
- An attic packed with old newspapers, postcards, and wooden storage trunks.
- A garden shed filled with woodworking tools and gardening equipment.
The Property Clearance in Dunbar
Our team arrived early in the morning and began with a walkthrough of the house, ensuring that anything valuable or sentimental was set aside for review. We started with the living areas, carefully packing and sorting the antique books and furniture. Items in good condition were put aside for donation, while damaged or unusable items were responsibly recycled.
The attic clearance took time, as it was filled with old papers and storage boxes. We carefully brought everything down for sorting, keeping anything of potential historical value for the client to check. The shed was then tackled, with the woodworking tools and garden equipment set aside for reuse, while any broken or rusted items were disposed of properly.
By the end of the day, the house, attic, and shed were completely cleared, leaving the property clean and ready for sale.
Client Review
“The team was fantastic from start to finish. They worked quickly but carefully and made sure I had the chance to check anything important before it was removed. It’s a huge relief to have the house cleared, and I appreciate the respect they showed for my uncle’s belongings. Highly recommended!”
