Hoarding Cleaning Services Melbourne

Clearing a hoarded home, whether following a loved one’s passing or a transition to aged care, can feel overwhelming. The volume of belongings, emotional ties, and complexity of the task make it difficult to manage alone. That’s where Home Moving Planners steps in.

Home Moving Planners provide a fast, discreet and professional hoarder clearance and cleanup service. Our experienced team understands the sensitive nature of these cleanups and approaches every home with care, empathy, and zero judgment.

From identifying important documents and valuables to sorting, donating, and responsibly disposing of unwanted items, we handle every detail. We also assist executors and families navigating probate by locating essential paperwork and personal effects.

If needed, we can help prepare the property for sale with cleaning, gardening, and styling services, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Our Services:

At Home Moving Planners, we offer a wide range of hoarder clearance services and can help with:

  • Decluttering and sorting of items to go to family, friends, charity, or to be sold
  • Packing any goods or furniture to go to family members
  • Pre-settlement hoarder clearing
  • Organising rubbish removal and disposal
  • Organising for necessary repairs and maintenance
  • Full and partial furnishing and styling of homes for sale
  • Interior and exterior house cleaning, including window cleaning and carpet steam cleaning

Note: We can assist with selling unwanted furniture through trusted second-hand dealers or online platforms, but only as part of our full deceased estate clearing service. We are not second-hand dealers, do not purchase furniture, and do not offer valuations. Our role is to support you in clearing the home, not managing individual item sales separately.

Our hoarding cleaning services in Melbourne are ideal for individuals who:

  • Don’t have nearby family who can assist
  • Have family members who are time poor or unable to help
  • Are managing multiple responsibilities and need efficient support
  • Need the clearance completed within a short timeframe
  • Are acting as the Executor of a Will or under Enduring Power of Attorney
  • Prefer a single, trusted team to manage all aspects of clearing and preparing the home for sale
  • Have family members who are time poor or unable to help
  • Are managing multiple responsibilities and need efficient support
  • Need the clearance completed within a short timeframe
  • Are acting as the Executor of a Will or under Enduring Power of Attorney
  • Prefer a single, trusted team to manage all aspects of clearing and preparing the home for sale

Why choose us?

At Home Moving Planners, we recognise the emotional weight and overwhelming nature of sorting through a loved one’s home. Our team is dedicated to providing support with respect, care, and professionalism throughout the entire process.

Experienced and Trustworthy Team

Our trained specialists know how to navigate even the most complex hoarding situations. We’ve helped families locate vital documents such as wills, financial records, and legal paperwork, often uncovering items that were thought to be lost.

Skilled at Finding Hidden Valuables

We’ve found everything from heirloom jewellery to thousands of dollars hidden in unlikely places, inside books, sewing patterns, and even tissue-stuffed drawers. Our team doesn’t throw things out at first glance; we sort carefully, respectfully, and thoroughly.

Efficient and Cost-Effective Rubbish Removal

We use our own in-house removal service, saving you the hassle and cost of skip bins. No waiting for collections, no paying for unused bin space, and no risk of neighbours filling your skip overnight.

Family-Owned with Family Values

We treat every client like one of our own. As a family-run business, we’re committed to respectful, compassionate, and professional service every step of the way.

Additional Services Available

Need help beyond the clear-out? We offer cleaning, property styling, gardening, and basic maintenance to prepare the home for sale. We also coordinate with trusted second-hand dealers to appraise valuable furniture and goods, ensuring any saleable items contribute back to the estate.

Lisa and her team at Home Moving Planners were delight to work with when I needed to clear the long time home for my aunt in Melbourne who had moved to a nursing home recently. While I live in Sydney, they dealt with every situation with professional attitude and we could communicate whenever we needed to clarify certain matters. I highly recommend their service. Thank you so much for excellent job done!

We are so grateful to have found Home Moving Planners. Lisa and her team did an amazing job getting our property ready for sale, and they helped us declutter, pack and move into our new home as well. They made a very stressful time more manageable for us and our young family. Thank you Lisa, Viv, Leonie, Janet, Jamie and Rick for your help and support, we appreciate everything you’ve done for us. We highly recommend Home Moving Planners and would use them again in the future.

Lisa and Jessica provide such an essential one-stop-shop service. The whole team made the downsize and preparation of my home for sale so much easier, we couldn't have done it without them. I have already recommended them to family, friends and colleagues.

From the very 1st contact with HMP, the communication was easy, engaging, considerate & professional. After the initial inspection the quote was prompt & encompassing. The HMP Team arrived on time & proceeded to list the sellable & clear out what wasn’t. It was thoroughly cleaned inside & Outside & no trouble to enlist extra external pressure washing. The Stage Furniture was extremely tastefully presented. After the Property Sale it was quickly removed & a quick clean the Property was ready for the new owners. My Sister & I would like to say a ‘Big Thank You’ to Lisa, Jess & all the Team at Home Moving Planers.

We couldn’t be happier. Jess and the Team were amazing from start to finish. When Jess arrived to our property to consult with us her professionalism and in-depth knowledge shined. She knew exactly what the property needed in terms of the style and colour palate it needed to attract the right buyers for the sale of our property. We had full trust in her and the team. We cannot thank Home Moving Planners highly enough.
