Downsizing

Downsizing can be part of the overall ‘move management’ role that we perform for you, or it can be a stand-alone service that you require. Either way, we simply love helping our clients to downsize!

So, what is downsizing and why is it important?

Whilst downsizing is often associated with the move from the ‘family home’ to something much smaller, the reality is that downsizing can be both useful and indeed essential for most people moving home.

So, you might indeed be downsizing home, moving to a smaller property, but you might also be moving for a whole host of reasons. Whatever your reason, any move is always a great opportunity to take stock and determine whether you really want to take it all with you.

Regardless of the size of the property you are moving into, moving home always represents a chance for a fresh start, to perhaps get rid of some of the ‘stuff’ you have collected along the way. An opportunity to de-clutter; to remove those items from the Shed, Loft and Garage that haven’t been touched for years.

Of course, sometimes downsizing is not a choice but a necessity, as five bedrooms rarely fit into two!

During our initial site visit, our downsizing experts will discuss your move with you to understand many factors that will be important to you. We will of course want to know all about your new home, so we can advise you accurately, but we also need to understand some perhaps more personal priorities.

For example, you might have multiple wardrobes of clothes that need to become one. To advise you both accurately and sympathetically, our team will do our best to understand what is important to you, what you cannot do without, what has special memories, whilst always respecting your privacy and choice.

Once we have met with you (with no obligation), we are better placed to understand what is important to YOU in this move. We will then provide you with our recommendations and our quotation.

Recycling & Repurposing

Downsizing is not just about identifying those items that you no longer need, downsizing is also about what we do responsibly with everything that won’t be moving with you.

We call this Recycling and Repurposing. After all, not everything has to end up in landfill, indeed, we see this as the last resort.

Firstly, we will use our resources and contacts to try and sell those items we collectively identify as potentially having a resale value.

Those items that we can’t or don’t sell will then be offered to local charity shops and organisations (you can specify which ones if you wish). We will remove these items to the charities on your behalf.

Only as a last resort do we have to dispose of items at the local refuse site (landfill). Our Clearance Partners are fully licensed to dispose of all manner of items which they do professionally, recycling at every possibility.

If you do have any questions regarding our Downsizing service, please get in touch.
