After the funeral, I returned to my father’s landed home in Thomson.The gate creaked like it always had. His shoes were still by the door.And suddenly, it hit me — every object in this house held a piece of him.
Clearing out a landed property sounds like logistics. But it’s not.It’s grief.It’s memories.It’s an emotional war with every cupboard and drawer.
I knew the fridge didn’t work. The wardrobe was infested. The mattress had to go.But knowing and doing? Two very different things.
Each item wasn’t just furniture — it was “his.”That meant every decision came with guilt:
“Am I throwing him away?”
“What if I regret this?”
“Should I keep the dining table even if it’s broken?”
Why Landed Property Junk Clearance Is So Overwhelming
Landed homes store decades of stuff:
Old fridges in outdoor sheds
Mattresses that haven’t been flipped in 10 years
Antique cabinets too large to move without tools
Bags of clothes no charity will take
Garden junk no one noticed until now
With no NEA collection for private property, it falls on the family — often when they’re grieving.
That’s when I found Junk Value.They didn’t rush. They didn’t judge.
They offered
✔️ Pre-clearance walkthrough
✔️ Sensitive handling of sentimental items
✔️ Full dismantling of old bed frames, wardrobes, and bulky heirlooms
✔️ Professional clearance, one lorry at a time
They treated the house like it still meant something. Because it did.
