Selling a house that is full to the rafters
Sometimes a house fills up over years until it is hard to move around, let alone sell. It might be a parent's home, or your own.
Clearing it can feel like the first job before anything else can happen. It does not have to be.
This might be you if
- The house is too full for an agent to photograph or show
- Clearing it would take months, or more than you can face
- Belongings have caused damage, such as damp or pests
- You want it dealt with privately, without viewings
Worth knowing, whoever you sell to
Take what matters first
Papers, photographs and anything of sentimental value are worth rescuing before a sale. Beyond that, you do not need to sort it all.
Viewings are optional
An open-market sale means photographs and strangers walking through. A direct sale has no public viewings at all.
- 1You do not need to clear the house before you call us.
- 2Any visit is by appointment, and nothing is photographed for a listing.
- 3We deal with the house as it is and keep the whole thing private.

Common questions
Do I need to be there when you visit?
Not if you would rather not be. We can arrange access in whatever way suits you.
Will anyone else know?
No. There is no board, no listing and no public marketing.
