Sorting the contents
When clearing out the belongingness in a home, there are going to be some things that you will want to sell rather than keep. Before selling anything, you will need to sort through everything and determine what is being kept, what is being sold and what you want to dispose of. It is important to be systematic when doing this, so that you can ensure that everything has been sorted. You will also want to check with friends and family if there is anything that they are interested in. This should be done before putting things up for sale.
Hiring a removalist
You have several options for removing the contents of the home. Of all of these, hiring a professional moving company is the best option. Having a professional company take care of the removal will give you piece of mind that all of the contents will be removed quickly and with care. Everything is also done under a clear contract, so you know exactly what you are getting. Everything is agreed upon in advance, allowing you to avoid any surprises.
Other options
Your other main option to clear out the contents of the home is to transport it yourself. This is not recommended however as it has some serious disadvantages. By moving everything yourself, you will expend a lot more time and energy than if you were to hire a removals company to do it for you. Unless the home is already virtually empty, you are likely going to have to make many round trips between the home and wherever you plan to keep the items (generally this will be your home or a storage unit).
If you are thinking of saving money by not hiring professionals, you should consider how much fuel you will use on all of the round trips. Depending on how far each of these trips is, you may end up spending more on fuel than you would hiring a removalist. There will also be other costs on top of this such as hiring a trailer. Just because you can do everything yourself, doesn't mean that you should.
