End of tenancy clearance

For landlords and letting agents

A void property costs money every day it stands empty, and a tenant who has left furniture behind has left you a problem rather than a favour. We clear it, clean it, and photograph it, so the property can go back on the market and you have evidence of its condition.

Abandoned goods

Goods left behind by a tenant are not automatically yours to dispose of. Depending on the tenancy and how it ended, you may need to serve notice and allow a reasonable period before disposing of anything of value.

We are a clearance firm, not a law firm, so we will not tell you what your obligations are in a particular case. What we will do is photograph and itemise anything that looks like it might matter before it moves, so that if the question is ever raised you have a record. If you are unsure, take advice before instructing us.

The turnaround

• Clearance of all remaining goods and rubbish
• Carpets lifted and removed where they are beyond cleaning
• Full clean, or a deep clean to a lettable standard
• Photographs at the start and the end, sent the same day
• Waste transfer notes for your compliance file

Speed

Most voids we can attend within five working days, and often sooner. If you need it faster than that, say so — there is a surcharge for pulling a crew off another job, and it is a visible line on the quote rather than a surprise.

Agents and landlords with regular voids should open a trade account. It gets you priority scheduling and invoicing on terms.
