Move Management Services

---

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 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: 

• Liaising with estate agents and solicitors
• Decluttering and sorting so we can see what is important, and what you might want to take with you
• Support and unpacking on moving day
• Dispose of items to family and charity shops 
• Dealing with any paperwork 

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.
