What Is House Clearance?
House clearance refers to the process of removing and disposing of unwanted items from a property. It involves decluttering and clearing out the contents of any other residential space. The goal of a house clearance is to leave the property clean, empty, and ready for its next purpose, whether that be a new occupant moving in, preparing the property for sale, or handing it over to landlords or property managers.
House Clearance Costs
The cost of house clearance services in London can vary widely depending on the size of the property and the volume of items that need to be cleared. It’s also affected by factors such as the ease of access to the property, the nature of the items (heavy, delicate, valuable), and whether or not there are any items that require special disposal methods.
