  • If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your home, struggling to find things, or just wishing for a more organised and peaceful space, now is a great time to hire a declutterer. At HouseLift, we often find that clients feel a weight lifted off their shoulders after just one session. If you’re spending more time cleaning up than enjoying your home, it’s a sign that decluttering could benefit you. Whether it’s preparing for a big life change, like moving or welcoming a new family member, or simply wanting to improve your living environment, there’s no wrong time to start.

  • Not at all! While HouseLift primarily serves clients in and around Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk we’re happy to travel a bit further to bring our decluttering and home staging services to you. If you live outside our usual service area, there may be a small mileage fee, but we’ll always discuss this with you upfront so there are no surprises.

  • Staging your home before selling can significantly enhance its appeal, helping it stand out in the competitive property market. A well-staged home allows potential buyers to envision themselves living there, which can lead to faster sales and even higher offers. At HouseLift, our staging services highlight your home’s best features, create a warm and inviting atmosphere, and can make a lasting first impression. Investing in home staging is a smart step towards achieving the best possible price for your property.
