First steps
- Get the go-ahead from the executor or solicitor
- Look through drawers, pockets, boxes and the loft for the will, deeds, bank and pension papers
- Put photos, jewellery and keepsakes aside for the family
- Read the meters and tell utilities and the council the house is empty
The council service
The Tameside bulky collection is £38 for up to five listed items and is not refundable. Tameside asks for items to be ready from 7am, outside and all in one easy-to-reach place, and the crew calls between 7am and 3pm. Tameside's free white goods collection is for pensioners, who must be at home with proof of age and address, so it will not usually apply once the house is empty.
