As a professional project manager with six years of industry experience, I was used to working on complex projects and completing them on time and within budget. However, clearing my grandparents' home brought a unique blend of logistical planning and emotional sensitivity. This experience revealed a need for a service that helps families manage house clearances.
I initially contacted general removalists and waste collectors, discovering that their limited services didn't meet our needs. So, I immersed myself in learning about organising and decluttering and even had consultations with international house clearance professionals. With this knowledge and my project management background, I developed a comprehensive strategy to ease our emotional burden and speed up the clearance process. It's not rocket science, but this approach helped my family, and I have used it repeatedly to help other families during challenging times.

This efficient method enabled us to get my grandparents' property on the market sooner, leading to a rewarding sale. A bonus was that we even sold the unwanted items, covering the waste refuse fees. It was a great result, and ultimately, this allowed my family the space to process our loss and move forward.
