We recently completed a free house clearance in Loanhead for a family who needed to clear their late aunt’s home before handing the property back to the landlord. The house had been lived in for over 30 years and contained a mix of modern furniture, sentimental keepsakes, and older household items.
Customer Request
“Our aunt passed away recently, and we need to clear her rented house in Loanhead as soon as possible. She was a bit of a hoarder, so there are a lot of belongings, but we’d like to keep anything important. The landlord wants the house emptied by the end of the month, and we don’t know where to begin.”
Challenges of the Clearance
- Full house clearance required, including bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and loft.
- Large amounts of clothing, books, and general clutter to be sorted through.
- A shed full of gardening tools and furniture in need of clearance.
- Old paperwork and personal items that needed to be handled with care.
How We Handled the Loanhead House Clearance
Our team arrived early and worked closely with the family to identify sentimental or valuable items. After a thorough walk-through, we set aside family photos, important documents, and jewelry for safekeeping.
We began by clearing the bedrooms, sorting clothing into donation and recycling piles. A large amount of clothing, still in good condition, was donated to local charities.
The living room contained a mix of furniture and ornaments, some of which were ideal for resale. A vintage G-Plan sideboard and 1960s teak coffee table were put aside for auction, while other furniture was donated.
The kitchen was a challenge, as it contained years’ worth of unused cookware and appliances. Anything in working condition was donated, while broken or unsafe items were recycled responsibly.
The shed contained old gardening tools, plant pots, and a rusty lawnmower. We cleared everything, ensuring that usable tools went to a local community garden.
After a full day’s work, the house was completely emptied, and we gave it a light clean to ensure it was presentable for the landlord.
Client Feedback
“I can’t thank the team enough for their help with my aunt’s house clearance. They made what felt like an overwhelming task so much easier, and I really appreciated how they handled everything with respect and care. Knowing that so much was donated instead of wasted gave us great peace of mind. Highly recommended!”
