Decluttering

Decluttering is the process of removing the physical things in your life, home or office that don’t have a purpose, bring joy, or add value. It’s anything that’s no longer used or useful, doesn't suit you or your lifestyle anymore.

About The Home Sorter

A picture of Liz, the founder of The Home Sorter

  

Hi, my name’s Liz and I started The Home Sorter as I have a passion for creating organised spaces and paperwork, and staging property to look its best. 


I believe living in a clutter-free space has a powerful positive impact on our physical and mental wellbeing. 

Having bought and sold homes I’ve developed a real eye for staging them to look their best, inside and out, for prospective buyers.

  

As a qualified accountant with over 25 years’ experience, I’m naturally professional and confidential. As you'd expect, I’m well-organised, logical, and skilled at planning, with an eye for detail. I’m also a good listener. 


I'm fully insured and a member of the Association of Professional Declutters and Organisers (APDO).


If you don’t know where or how to start decluttering and organising, or want your home to stand out for buyers, let me help you. 

Who would benefit from The Home Sorter?

Who would benefit from a decluttering service?

Everyone! We all have clutter in our life and sometimes just need a friendly helping hand to get started.  


When the paperwork has got on top of you, I can help it become manageable again. And I can help you now with your digital legacy, 

Why pay for a professional?

Many people hire a cleaner, a gardener or someone to iron if you don't like these chores or feel you don't do them well, and it’s becoming more common to hire a professional to help organise your home, sort our your paperwork or stage your home for sale.


This is where I come in.

What can be decluttered and organised?

I can declutter and organise anything – paperwork, the kitchen, your wardrobe, the spare room or the whole house if you prefer!   

How does it work?

The goal is to reduce the number of possessions in your home, so you can easily see and enjoy the items you have, so decluttering can be emotionally and physically tiring. We’ll work together at a pace you feel comfortable. 


The decluttering process involves helping you to decide what you keep and what is discarded, sent to a charity, stored for seasonal use, recycled, or sold.  You make all the decisions and we can help guide and support you in this.


But a well-organised space doesn’t need to be sterile or minimalist. It’s about finding the balance that works for you, between possessions that make your home feel comfortable and loved, but manageable. 


I'll help rearrange, reorganise, and create more space and systems in your home that work for you.  


I'll share my tips and tools for simple and sustainable routines. My aim is to set you up for the long-term, keeping a clutter-free home or workspace.

Paperwork & Digital Management Services from The Home Sorter

Paperwork Services

An opened draw of files arranged by colour

If the paperwork’s piling up and you can never find what you need, or have lost documents, let me help you review and sort through your papers, identify what doesn’t need to be kept and confidentially dispose of non-essential papers. 


Once you’re on top of the paperwork I can look at developing a simple filing system and suitable storage solutions, so you stay organised. 

Digital Declutter

A laptop, iPad and mobile phones

If your desktop is crowded, you can never find a file or your inbox is groaning, I can help with a digital declutter. I can clear up email and folders, creating a new filing and version control system so you can easily find all your documents electronically.  

Digital Legacy

Photo Organising

A digital legacy refers to everything we leave behind in the online world. Our digital presence can be a well-organised archive or a confusing mess. So much of our digital life is locked behind passwords, it can be hard for family members to access or manage when the time comes. 


 Using my digital checklist, I can work with you to identify your assets to protect and secure them now, so they’re accessible in the future to those you trust.  This can include personal memories, financial and legal documents, passwords, and security information.

Moving Services from The Home Sorter

Moving House

Moving house can be an exciting change, or overwhelming, especially when downsizing. 


At the earliest stage, declutter to achieve the best possible photos to show your home at its best to prospective buyers when you’ve decided to put it on the market (see Home Staging).


When you’re getting ready to move it's the ideal time to go through every cupboard and drawer to see what you have, and what you really want to move into your new home. I can help so you only take the things you need and love with you. Why pay to move items you no longer need or use?


Once you’re in your new home I can help with the unpacking and organising of your belongings. If you’ve still got unpacked boxes from that last move, let me help you review your belongings to see if you still need them, before you move them again!


I do not provide a removals service, or with packing ahead of the move.

Downsizing or Moving into Residential Care

Downsizing into smaller accommodation or making the difficult decision to move into residential care, is a very emotional and stressful process.  


It can feel like getting rid of a lifetime of treasured possessions, and sometimes bringing in someone who can be a little more objective, can help take away some of the stress. 


I can help with every step of the way, including: 

  • Decluttering and sorting so we can see what is important, and what you might want to take with you
  • Helping to pack [for moves to residential care only] and unpack items at the other end
  • Dispose of items to family and charity shops 
  • Dealing with any paperwork

Bereavement

If you don’t want to clear a property yourself, or use a house clearance company, I can offer an alternative.


Going through the possessions of a loved one following bereavement is a very emotional process and takes time. Dealing with a whole house on top of a bereavement can seem like a daunting task, but I can help you sort through this, deciding with you what you wish to keep, and what should be donated, discarded or sold, especially if a house clearance service may not be the right thing at this stage.


I understand that families often live at a distance and are busy during the week. I can work alone or with the client to decide what items should be kept, donated, sold or discarded, then family members can review and agree at their convenience. We will agree at the start how you wish to work, so we have a plan for us to follow and we can keep in regular contact by phone, email or video call.  


I can arrange and be at your home for charity collections, house clearance, auction house collections, estate agents etc.


I can also then help stage the house ready for sale to attract the most buyers (see Home Staging).


Bereavement generates a lot of paperwork. This can range from notifying organisations of the death of a loved one, to finding those key bits of paper with policy numbers or identifying which bank accounts are still open. I can help with the administration.

If you think I can help with moving or clearing property, contact me to arrange a free 15-minute consultation, by phone or video call.

Home Staging Services from The Home Sorter

Home Staging - bringing out the best in every home

Home Staging is the art of styling a property to sell, or let, to enhance its best features and to limit the impact of any negative features to sell faster and maximise the selling price.


I can help you to make the most of your home before it goes to market, or, if your property isn’t getting many viewings. 


Instead of reducing the price, let me help with an objective eye to see where there are areas that may be putting off potential buyers. There are a lot of simple tricks that won’t cost a lot to implement, and I consider clutter, layout, lighting, and décor. 


These services work equally well with sales or lettings.

Pre-Photography Styling

Pre-photography styling is staging before the photographer turns up to take photographs for property marketing.


I'll arrive just prior to the photographer and work to style your home quickly with existing items and a handful of extra props, as the photographer goes from room to room. This is a quick work through the whole house to ensure the online images of your house show it in the best light to maximise viewings. 

Pre-Photography Declutter

A pre-photography declutter session works with you to advise and assist you in removing personal effects to maximise space. We can help by reorganising or moving furniture and possessions to make the best use of your space, using cost effective storage solutions and identifying any items that could be put into storage to create more space.


Your outside space is equally important and won’t be forgotten.


I can either provide a written report for you to follow on a room-by-room basis, or work with you in your home to show it at its best. You will be left with a copy of The Home Sorter viewings preparation checklist.


And the best thing is, by decluttering now, you reduce the amount of unwanted or unneeded things you take into your new home (and save some money on removals).

House Not Selling?

If you’re not selling, or getting the viewings you expected, I can provide a one-off session to look at your home and outdoor space with a fresh pair of eyes and make suggestions that will help your home stand out to potential buyers.    I'll also leave you with The Home Sorter bespoke viewing checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact me at liz@thehomesorter.co.uk if you can't find an answer to your question.

Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire. Please contact me to discuss working in other areas.  


I also offer a virtual service.


It’s completely confidential. I am a member of the Association of Declutterers and Professional Organisers (ADPO) and am bound by their code of ethics.


I am compliant with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) guidance.


Yes, I have professional indemnity and public liability insurance.


Decluttering is the process of removing and reducing the number of items in your home that do not add value, work or you love. It is the organising of the items left in such a way as to ensure you have the right systems in place in the future to maintain a clutter-free environment.


Home staging is using a professional to assess your home and provide you with suggestions on how to improve the saleability. This can involve removing, adding or re-positioning furniture, changing the decor, altering the furnishings or creating new uses for rooms. It can be done before a property is put on the market, or if it is not attracting the number of viewings it should.


It includes staging a house ready for marketing photography.


And of course, removing the clutter.


That all depends on the area to be decluttered, the number of items, and how quickly you are able to make decisions. I normally recommend a three-hour session first, as we can achieve a lot in that time, and towards the end of that session we can agree our next steps. 


Yes, absolutely! All the decisions on what to get rid of are made by you, so you need to be there.


However, for organising after decluttering, and many other services, once we’ve agreed a plan, I can work alone and check in with you periodically.   


Not unless you want to. It can be helpful for us to see how you live so we can design systems to help you maintain your clutter free home in the future.  


No. You are in complete control and make all the decisions. I will guide and support you in making these decisions, as the only way to really declutter is to let go of some things.    


We’ll discuss this as part of our initial consultation. I am able to remove up to 5 bags of clothes / other items suitable for a charity shop or clothes bank. 


I'm unable to remove rubbish, recycling or other waste. 


I can arrange shredding of confidential paperwork at an additional cost.  


My price list sets out the costs per hour or package.   


Please let me know as soon as possible if you need to cancel. My full cancellation policy is set out in my Terms & Conditions.
