\"House<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

House clearances are one of the UK\u2019s growth industries, with increasing number of online searches being recorded over the past 20 years. The convenience of having a team of dedicated professionals declutter your home or business, coupled with the need to ensure you comply with any legal requirements, means it\u2019s often quicker and safer to let a professional clearance company take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here Hamiltons Removals, who can carry out house clearances in Norfolk, Suffolk and across the UK, identify some of the commonest underlying reasons behind many house clearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A House Move<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the commonest reasons why you might need a house cleared \u2013 particularly if you are moving a long way away (including overseas) and can\u2019t take all your possessions with you. <\/strong>Often it is easier to get a professional clearing company in to help with the process, particularly if you are short of time and have lots of other things to organise as well. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beauty of using Hamiltons Removals is that we offer a lot of complementary services as well so a house clearance could form part of a bigger overall package. Not only can we help you with your house move, whether it\u2019s to the UK or overseas, but we also offer secure self-storage facilities in the heart of East Anglia \u2013 via our two Safe N Stored sites<\/a> at Harleston and Aldeby, on the Norfolk\/Suffolk border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can keep your possessions safe and secure at both of these sites if you haven\u2019t decided what to do with them, or you are moving overseas for a fixed period of time and want to somewhere to store them until you return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also stock plenty of high-quality packing materials at our shop which is at our Harleston site but which you can also access online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A House Declutter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it\u2019s a good idea to have your house cleared even if you are not on the move. A clutter-free home creates a sense or order, reduces stress and improves your overall well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A house clearance will also allow you to declutter your living spaces and organise your belongings more effectively. This is particularly true if you want to do some painting and decorating or embark on a major home DIY project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Hoarding Situation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a member of the family or a friend might be suffering from a hoarding problem \u2013 that is, a build-up of possessions which they cannot bring themselves to get rid of. The official NHS definition of a hoarder is \u2018someone who has acquired an excessive number of items and stores them in a chaotic manner, usually resulting in unmanageable amounts of clutter\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These items typically can be books, newspapers and magazines, clothes, and (in this digital age) emails. There may be environmental health issues if perishable foodstuffs and hazardous materials are among the items which have been hoarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House clearance experts who are also Licensed Waste Carriers – such as Hamiltons Removals \u2013 will be able to dispose of the items safely and securely, while treating the matter very sensitively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal Compliance (1)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes residential properties need to be \u2018given back\u2019 to the owner \u2013 the local authority if it\u2019s council-owned, or a private landlord (usually if it\u2019s rented). There are often terms in the lease agreement which stipulate what needs to be cleared out, and by what time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If time is a factor \u2013 for example, if a new occupant has been lined up to move in, then you might find it easier to get use a professional house clearance company. We may be able to do a much quicker job of clearing out a house within a specified timeframe.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal Compliance (2)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years the authorities have got a lot tougher when it comes to disposing of certain items \u2013 whether they come from rented properties or private homes \u2013 due to public health concerns.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can apply to some so-called \u2018white goods\u2019 such as refrigerators (because of issues with CFCs) and older furniture (because of fire safety concerns). You may not be allowed to dispose of these items at your local authority waste site. Again, our Waste Carriers\u2019 Licence comes in handy here \u2013 we will know what to do with these potentially hazardous items and where to take them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Family Bereavement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes house clearances form part of the process of granting probate \u2013 which will mean coming up with a valuation of the house and contents as part of a deceased person\u2019s estate before disposing of the items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes houses need clearing out because of a death in the family. Although these aren\u2019t always part of a probate process, they can still be emotionally difficult to deal with these and you may benefit from the sensitive yet dispassionate approach that a professional clearing company can bring to the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
