House clearance is the process of completely emptying a property of its contents, typically required when selling a home or returning a rented property back to a landlord or local authority. The general rule would be to return the property as you found it for rented properties, or as you would expect to receive it if you had bought the property yourself.

This includes removing all furniture, white goods, general household items, clothing, bedding, kitchenware, and bric-a-brac from every room, including fitted cupboards, wardrobes, attics, and basements. In some cases, you may also need to remove items you’ve installed yourself, such as carpets, curtains, and stairlifts, as well as clearing sheds, garages, garden furniture, ornaments, and plant pots.
