Property Clearance
Resources

The private rented sector is undergoing one of its biggest periods of change in decades. With the Renters’ Rights Act coming into force from 1 May 2026, the landscape for landlords is shifting dramatically. The abolition of Section 21 “no‑fault” evictions, the end of fixed‑term tenancies, stricter rules on rent increases, and expanded grounds for possession all mark a major reset of the landlord‑tenant relationship.

When you need to clear a property, one of the first decisions you’ll face is whether to hire a professional house clearance company or order a skip. On the surface, skip hire can appear cheaper but the true cost depends on the size of the job, the type of items you’re disposing of, the labour involved, and how quickly you need the space cleared.

Large‑scale residential clearances are an entirely different world compared to single‑property jobs. They involve hundreds of units, multiple stakeholders, strict schedules, and the need to work safely in busy, often still‑occupied environments.
