Yes. Birmingham House Clearance provides full and partial house clearance services throughout Kings Heath and surrounding areas, including the High Street, Brandwood, Billesley, parts of Moseley, and nearby residential streets towards Druids Heath and Yardley Wood. Kings Heath has a wide mixture of property types, from flats and traditional terraced houses to larger semi-detached and detached family homes with lofts, garages, cellars and garden storage. Every clearance is assessed individually because the amount of work can vary considerably from one property to another. We can help whether you need a few unwanted items removed, several rooms cleared or the entire contents of a property taken away.
Kings Heath is mainly within the B14 postcode area, and we cover properties throughout B14 together with nearby addresses on the borders of surrounding Birmingham neighbourhoods where appropriate. The area contains very different property styles and access arrangements, so the practical requirements of a clearance can vary significantly. A flat close to Kings Heath High Street may involve communal entrances, upper floors and restricted parking, while a family home in a quieter residential street may include a driveway, loft, garage and garden storage. Providing the full postcode when you enquire helps us understand the exact location and any access considerations that may affect the clearance.
Yes. We provide house clearance services around Kings Heath High Street and the surrounding residential streets. Properties close to the centre can sometimes require more planning because of busier roads, parking restrictions and limited loading space compared with quieter parts of Kings Heath. Flats may also involve communal entrances, stairs or accommodation above ground level. If your property is close to the High Street, tell us about any parking restrictions and how close a vehicle can reasonably get to the entrance. This information helps us assess the practical side of the clearance alongside the amount of furniture and household belongings that need to be removed.
Yes. Brandwood and the surrounding residential streets are included within our Kings Heath coverage. We can undertake full house clearances, partial clearances, probate work, landlord clearances and the removal of selected furniture or household belongings. Family homes can sometimes contain substantial amounts of stored material beyond the main rooms, particularly in lofts, garages, sheds and cupboards. If these areas form part of the clearance, they should be shown when requesting a quotation. Photographs or a walkthrough video help us understand the complete scale of the job rather than estimating from only the living room, bedrooms and kitchen.
Yes. Billesley is covered as part of our wider Kings Heath and south Birmingham service area. We can assist with complete property clearances, partial room clearances, inherited homes, landlord properties and general household contents removal. Properties can vary considerably in size, layout and access, so every clearance is assessed according to what actually needs to be removed. If there is a garage, loft, shed or other storage area, including these in photographs or video is particularly useful. This gives us a much clearer picture of the overall volume and helps ensure the job is planned around the entire property rather than only its main rooms.
Yes. Traditional terraced properties can be fully or partially cleared depending on what you need. These homes can sometimes have narrower hallways, tighter staircases and more limited rear access than newer properties, so the carrying route can be important when removing large furniture. Some houses may also have cellars, loft spaces, garden sheds or other storage containing belongings accumulated over many years. If bulky furniture needs to come down stairs or through narrow doorways, photographs of the access can be useful alongside pictures of the contents. This helps us assess both the amount being removed and the labour involved in moving everything safely.
Yes. Larger Kings Heath properties can involve considerably more work than a smaller flat or lightly furnished house, particularly where belongings are spread across several bedrooms, reception rooms, garages, lofts, cellars and garden storage. A property that has been occupied by the same family for many years may also contain substantial quantities of stored possessions that are not immediately visible in the main rooms. We therefore assess the complete property rather than estimating solely from the number of bedrooms. A detailed walkthrough video can be especially useful for larger clearances because it gives a clearer understanding of how much material is distributed throughout the home.
Yes. We clear flats and apartments throughout Kings Heath as well as houses. Apartment clearances can involve different practical considerations, especially near busier roads or commercial parts of the area. There may be communal entrances, several flights of stairs, lifts or restrictions on where a vehicle can stop. These details can affect how quickly furniture and household belongings can be carried from the property to the vehicle. If you are arranging a flat clearance, tell us which floor the property is on, whether a working lift is available and how close the vehicle can reasonably park. This helps us assess the labour involved as well as the volume.
Yes. We can clear flats within older houses or properties that have been converted into separate accommodation. Converted buildings can sometimes have unusual layouts, narrow staircases, shared entrances or accommodation spread across upper floors. This can make moving wardrobes, sofas and other bulky furniture more labour-intensive than at a ground-floor property with direct access. If there is no lift or the vehicle cannot park close to the entrance, mention this when requesting a quotation. Photographs of the access as well as the contents help us understand the practical requirements and reduce the chance of access difficulties being discovered only when the clearance begins.
Yes. We assist landlords, letting agents and property managers with unwanted furniture and belongings left in rented properties throughout Kings Heath. The amount involved can range from a few abandoned possessions to the contents of several rooms or an entire property. Some furniture and appliances may belong to the landlord and need to remain, so these should be clearly identified beforehand. Flats and shared buildings can also involve communal access, stairs and parking restrictions. Providing photographs and clear instructions about what should stay and what should be removed helps ensure that the clearance is carried out according to the landlord or agent’s requirements.
The cost of a Kings Heath house clearance depends on the actual work involved rather than simply the size of the property. Important factors include the volume and weight of the contents, vehicle space required, labour and access between the property and the vehicle. A lightly furnished flat will normally involve less work than a long-occupied family home containing several rooms, loft storage, a garage, cellar and garden shed. Difficult stairs, upper floors or restricted parking can also affect the amount of labour required. Photographs or a walkthrough video allow us to assess the property more accurately before the clearance is arranged.
The amount of vehicle space required is an important factor when assessing a house clearance, but it is not the only consideration. Labour, weight, access and the type of material being removed can all affect the work involved. Two Kings Heath properties might contain a similar volume of furniture but require different levels of labour if one has straightforward driveway access while the other involves an upper-floor flat, narrow stairs or limited parking. We therefore assess the complete job so the quotation reflects the likely loading time, vehicle capacity and labour required rather than basing everything on the number of van loads alone.
Yes. Clear photographs are extremely useful when assessing a Kings Heath house clearance and can make the quotation process much easier. Ideally, photograph every room or area that needs clearing, using more than one angle where necessary. Remember to include lofts, garages, cellars, sheds, cupboards and other storage spaces if these form part of the work. These areas can contain a substantial amount of material that is easily overlooked when only the main rooms are photographed. Pictures can also show bulky or unusually heavy furniture and give us a clearer indication of the overall volume that will need to be removed.
Yes. A walkthrough video can be one of the easiest ways to show the scale of a Kings Heath house clearance, particularly for larger or multi-storey properties. Starting at the entrance and moving steadily through each room provides a useful overview of how the belongings are distributed throughout the home. Include garages, cellars, loft spaces, sheds and other storage areas where applicable. Try not to move too quickly, as a steady recording is much easier to assess. You can also point out any furniture, appliances or personal possessions that are remaining at the property so these can be clearly distinguished from the contents being cleared.
Yes. We assist executors, relatives and families with probate and bereavement house clearances throughout Kings Heath. These clearances often require careful organisation because some possessions may need to remain at the property while other contents are removed. A probate clearance may involve the entire home or only what remains after family members have selected documents, photographs, sentimental possessions and other belongings they wish to retain. Long-occupied Kings Heath homes can contain possessions in lofts, cellars, garages, cupboards and sheds as well as the main rooms. Clear instructions about what should stay and what should go are particularly important with this type of clearance.
Yes. Many inherited-property clearances are arranged by executors or family members who live outside Birmingham. You do not necessarily need to remain at the Kings Heath property throughout the clearance provided access has been properly arranged and there are clear instructions about what should be removed. Photographs or video can be used beforehand to discuss the scope of the work. If particular belongings need to remain, these should be clearly identified before the clearance begins. This can make managing an inherited property considerably easier for people who cannot repeatedly travel to Kings Heath while preparing the home for sale, letting or another purpose.
Yes. Homes that have been occupied by the same person or family for decades can contain considerably more than is immediately obvious. Everyday furniture and possessions may fill the main rooms, while cupboards, lofts, garages, cellars and sheds can contain years of accumulated belongings. This type of property therefore needs to be assessed differently from a recently occupied or lightly furnished home. Showing every storage area when requesting a quotation gives a much more accurate picture of the work involved. A detailed walkthrough video is especially useful where belongings are spread across several floors or throughout different parts of the property.
Yes. Cellars and basements can be included as part of a Kings Heath house clearance where they are safely and reasonably accessible. Older properties may have lower-ground storage spaces containing boxes, furniture, tools and household belongings accumulated over many years. Access is particularly important because everything may need to be carried upstairs before it can be taken to the vehicle. When requesting a quotation, include photographs or video of the cellar as well as the staircase or access route. This allows us to assess both the volume of the contents and the additional labour that may be involved in removing them.
Yes. A garage can be included within the same Kings Heath house clearance and may contain a significant proportion of the overall material. Tools, boxes, furniture, bicycles, garden equipment and general household storage can collectively require considerable vehicle space even where individual items appear relatively small. When providing photographs, try to show the entire garage rather than only what is visible from the doorway. If there are particularly large, heavy or unusual items inside, point these out separately. Including the garage in the original assessment helps ensure that the clearance is planned around everything that actually needs to be removed.
Yes. Loft contents can normally be included where the space is safely and reasonably accessible. Kings Heath properties vary considerably, with some lofts reached by permanent stairs or fitted ladders and others accessed through smaller ceiling hatches. Tell us how the loft is reached when you enquire, particularly if bulky or heavy belongings are stored there. Boxes, suitcases, old furniture and accumulated household possessions can add significantly to the total amount requiring removal. Photographs or video of the loft help us consider both its contents and the access alongside the rest of the property before the clearance is arranged.
Yes. Sheds, accessible garden stores and similar outdoor storage spaces can be included as part of a Kings Heath property clearance. These areas can sometimes contain far more material than expected, particularly at family homes that have been occupied for many years. Tools, garden equipment, furniture, boxes, plant pots and general household storage can all contribute to the overall volume. If the property has several sheds or outbuildings, show each one separately when requesting a quotation. Garden access is also relevant, particularly if items have to be carried a significant distance, through side access or through the house before reaching the vehicle.
Yes. You do not have to empty the entire property. Partial clearances are suitable when only certain rooms, furniture or storage areas need to be cleared. You might want a spare bedroom and garage emptied while leaving the remainder of the home untouched, or need selected furniture removed before decorating, selling or letting the property. It is important that anything remaining at the property is clearly distinguishable from the belongings being removed. Photographs, labels or straightforward written instructions can help with this. We can arrange partial property clearances throughout Kings Heath according to exactly what needs to be taken away.
Yes. We can clear a property before it is marketed, photographed, handed over to a buyer or prepared for renovation. Some customers require every remaining item to be removed, while others only need unwanted furniture or stored belongings cleared from selected areas. If the intention is to leave the property substantially empty, garages, cellars, lofts, sheds and cupboards should also be considered. This can be particularly important with inherited and long-occupied homes where possessions have accumulated throughout the property. Arranging the clearance before estate-agent photography or viewings can help ensure the home is left in the condition the owner or executor intends.
Yes. We assist landlords, letting agents and property managers with unwanted furniture and belongings left in rental properties throughout Kings Heath. The amount involved can vary considerably, from a few abandoned possessions to the contents of several rooms or an entire property. We can also undertake partial clearances where some furniture or appliances belong to the landlord and need to remain. Flats and converted properties may require additional consideration because of communal entrances, upper floors, narrow staircases or parking restrictions. Providing clear photographs and identifying exactly which items should stay helps ensure that the clearance is carried out according to the property’s requirements.
Yes. End-of-tenancy clearances can be arranged where former tenants have left furniture, household belongings or other unwanted items behind. Some properties may require only a small amount to be removed, while others can contain enough material to require a substantial clearance before cleaning, decorating or re-letting begins. Landlords and agents should clearly identify any furniture, appliances or other items belonging to the property that need to remain. If the property is a flat or converted building, it is also useful to provide information about floor level, communal access, stairs, lifts and parking so the practical side of the clearance can be assessed in advance.
Not necessarily. Many house clearances can be completed without the customer remaining at the property throughout the work. This is particularly useful for executors, landlords and relatives who may live outside Birmingham. The important things are that access has been properly arranged and there is no uncertainty about what should be removed. Any belongings that are staying should be clearly identified, separated or labelled beforehand. Garages, cellars, lofts, sheds and other storage areas should also be discussed in advance. Clear instructions allow the agreed clearance to proceed without requiring the customer to supervise every individual item as it is removed.
Yes. Large household furniture such as sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, cabinets, chests of drawers and similar bulky items can normally be included within a house clearance. The main consideration is whether they can be removed safely from their current location. Traditional properties can sometimes have narrow staircases, small doorways, tight corners or furniture situated on upper floors or in cellars. If the property contains unusually large, heavy or awkward furniture, include photographs when requesting a quotation and mention where each item is situated. This helps us understand the likely labour and access requirements before the clearance begins.
Stairs, narrow entrances and awkward carrying routes can normally be accommodated, but they are important factors when assessing a clearance. A ground-floor house with straightforward driveway access will generally be quicker to load than an upper-floor flat where bulky furniture must be carried down narrow stairs and through communal areas. Traditional Kings Heath homes may also have tight internal layouts, cellar steps or limited side and rear access. When requesting a quotation, tell us about anything likely to affect loading. Photographs of stairs, entrances and difficult routes can be particularly useful where large wardrobes, sofas or other bulky items need to be removed.
The appropriate route depends on the type and condition of each item. Where practical, suitable belongings and materials may be reused or recycled rather than simply treated as general waste. Other contents are taken through appropriate disposal channels. A typical house clearance can contain many different types of material, including furniture, household belongings, metals, electrical items and general waste, so everything will not necessarily follow the same route. The aim is to deal with the contents responsibly while completing the clearance efficiently. If there are particular items you are uncertain about, these can be discussed when the clearance is being arranged.
Short-notice clearances may sometimes be possible depending on existing bookings, vehicle availability and the scale of the work. A smaller flat or partial clearance is naturally easier to accommodate at short notice than a large family property containing several rooms, a garage, loft, cellar and substantial stored belongings. If your Kings Heath clearance is urgent, providing complete information from the outset can help considerably. Send the postcode, photographs or a walkthrough video, details of every area requiring clearance and any relevant parking or access information. This allows the size and practical requirements of the job to be assessed quickly and helps determine whether the requested timescale is realistic.
If you need house clearance across B14 and the surrounding Kings Heath area, contact Birmingham House Clearance with the property postcode and a description of what needs removing.
We cover Kings Heath High Street, Vicarage Road, Heathfield Road, Drayton Road, Colmore Road, Brandwood, Billesley, Allens Croft, Woodthorpe, Doversley Road, Alcester Road South and surrounding residential streets.
B14 is the principal postcode district for Kings Heath. Important roads and neighbourhoods include Kings Heath High Street, Vicarage Road, Heathfield Road, Drayton Road, Colmore Road, Doversley Road, Springfield Road, Alcester Road South, Brandwood Road, Billesley Lane, Allens Croft Road, Greenwood Close, Woodthorpe Road, Addison Road, Grange Road, Valentine Road, Avenue Road, Featherstone Road and Wheelers Lane.
These local roads contain different property layouts, parking conditions and storage arrangements.
Kings Heath High Street is the commercial heart of the area. Kings Heath Library at B14 7SW provides a useful central reference.
Properties close to the High Street can include flats above shops, converted properties, apartment blocks, terraces and landlord-owned accommodation. Shared entrances, stairs and limited loading should be confirmed before the clearance.
Kings Heath Station on Alcester Road, B14 7SN, provides a strong modern local reference for the centre of the area.
The station has no car park, which means nearby clearance access should never be assumed to be straightforward. Parking, floor level, shared access and loading should all be discussed in advance.
Vicarage Road is one of Kings Heath’s important residential routes and is closely associated with Kings Heath Park.
Homes around this side of Kings Heath can include traditional family houses, semis, flats, garages, lofts, sheds and garden storage. Full-property quotes should include all outside storage spaces.
Kings Heath Community Centre at 8 Heathfield Road, B14 7DB, provides a useful local anchor for central residential streets.
Traditional housing may involve on-street parking, narrower front doors, rear-access passages, steep stairs and loft hatches.
Drayton Road and Colmore Road are useful residential references within central B14. St Dunstan’s School around B14 7LP and the Quaker Meeting House at 17 Colmore Road, B14 7PE, provide exact local anchors.
Clearance work can include full properties, probate, bereavement, landlord work, loft clearances and furniture removal.
The southern side of Kings Heath includes Allens Croft. Allens Croft Primary School at B14 6RP provides a useful local reference.
Properties in this part of B14 may include larger family homes, lofts, garages, outside storage and sheds.
St Bede’s Church Hall on Doversley Road, B14 6NN, and Woodthorpe School around Greenwood Close, B14 6ET, provide clear local anchors for the southern side of the district.
Full clearances here may involve spare rooms, attics, garages, sheds and garden furniture as well as the main household contents.
Brandwood and Billesley sit around the wider Kings Heath area and share the B14 geography. Homes around Billesley Lane, Brandwood Road and adjoining streets can have more garages, lofts and outside storage than central High Street flats.
For a full clearance, all of these spaces should be included in photographs or video.
The wider B14 district contains older terraces, traditional semis, later suburban housing, flats, larger family homes and rental accommodation.
Older terraces may mean narrow access, smaller loft hatches, rear passages and limited parking. Larger suburban properties may mean garages, sheds, bigger lofts and more garden storage.
A full house clearance usually involves removing most or all unwanted contents from a property. This can include sofas, armchairs, beds, mattresses, wardrobes, drawers, tables, chairs, books, clothing, kitchenware, ornaments, electrical appliances, white goods, garage contents, loft contents and shed contents.
Complete clearances are commonly needed when a property is being sold, probate is being completed, somebody has died, the owner is downsizing, tenants have left belongings behind, major renovation is planned or the property has become heavily cluttered.
Before work begins, we establish clearly what should remain. Anything valuable, sentimental or important should ideally be removed or clearly identified before the general clearance starts.
Not every customer needs an entire property emptied. A partial clearance can cover one room, several rooms, a spare bedroom, conservatory, garage, loft, shed, cellar, storage area, selected furniture or individual bulky items.
This is useful when decluttering, preparing a room for decorating, reclaiming storage space or removing furniture that is difficult to move without help.
Probate clearance often involves much more than ordinary furniture removal. A long-term family home can contain decades of photographs, correspondence, legal papers, financial documents, jewellery, collections, furniture and sentimental belongings.
We can work with executors, relatives, solicitors and authorised representatives. The instructions can be specific: clear the entire property, leave selected furniture, put documents aside, retain photographs, leave one room untouched, or clear the garage and loft while keeping other areas as they are.
Where something appears obviously important or personal, it can be put aside rather than automatically removed. Known valuables and important documents should still be separated beforehand wherever practical.
Clearing a home after a bereavement can be emotionally difficult, particularly when somebody has lived in the property for many years. The aim is to handle the practical lifting and removal while respecting the family’s instructions.
A bereavement clearance can be complete, partial, room by room or staged over more than one visit. Particular rooms or belongings can be left untouched if the family needs more time.
Moving from a larger home into a smaller property often means that not everything will fit. Customers may need spare beds, wardrobes, dining furniture, bookcases, garage equipment, loft boxes, garden furniture and other surplus belongings removed.
The customer decides what is moving to the new property and what can be cleared.
We can help landlords and authorised property managers clear unwanted contents after a tenancy. Items left behind can include beds, mattresses, sofas, wardrobes, kitchen items, electrical appliances, broken furniture and bags of general belongings.
The person instructing the clearance should have authority to remove the items. Once cleared, the property can move on to cleaning, repairs, decorating or re-letting.
Flats and apartments can be physically demanding even when the volume is smaller than a house. Access can involve several flights of stairs, no lift, secure entrances, narrow communal corridors, controlled parking and long carrying distances.
When requesting a quote, it helps to provide the floor number, whether there is a lift, whether large furniture fits in it, where a vehicle can load and whether parking or entry is restricted.
Lofts can contain years or decades of accumulated storage, including suitcases, old clothing, Christmas decorations, toys, books, paperwork, photographs, boxes, electrical items and dismantled furniture.
The main issue is often access rather than volume. We need to know whether there is a full staircase or ladder, whether the loft is boarded, the size of the hatch, whether there is lighting and whether there is safe standing space.
Large items may have been dismantled and stored in the loft many years ago. Bed frames, tables, wardrobes, shelving and other furniture may need to be dismantled further before they can be removed safely. For a substantial loft clearance, photographs of the contents and the access route are both useful.
Garages often become long-term storage spaces containing tools, bicycles, shelving, DIY materials, garden machinery, boxes, furniture, car parts and old appliances.
A garage can be cleared on its own or included with a full property clearance. Paint, fuel, oils, solvents, gas cylinders, batteries and other chemicals should be disclosed in advance because they may require different handling.
Sheds, garden stores and outbuildings can contain tools, garden furniture, plant pots, timber, lawn equipment, shelving, boxes and broken outdoor items. Suitable contents can be included in the wider clearance.
Pesticides, chemicals, fuel, oils or gas cylinders should be identified before the job.
Older properties may contain cellar or basement spaces used for long-term storage. These can hold furniture, tools, boxes, appliances, building materials, wine racks, paint and miscellaneous household belongings.
The access route can be more challenging than the contents. Steep stairs, low ceilings, narrow turns, poor lighting and damp or slippery floors all affect the work. Photographs of the staircase and route to the outside are useful before quoting.
A heavily cluttered property requires a careful and practical approach. There may be blocked hallways, rooms that cannot initially be entered, belongings stacked high, important paperwork mixed with general possessions, hidden furniture and restricted exits.
These clearances can be carried out room by room, floor by floor, in stages or as a larger clearance where safe. The approach is practical and non-judgmental, with important items retained where instructed.
A full house clearance is not required just to remove bulky furniture. Suitable items can include sofas, armchairs, beds, mattresses, wardrobes, dining tables, chairs, drawers, cabinets and bookcases.
Large furniture may need dismantling before removal where staircases, doors or communal access are too narrow.
Clearances can include many common household appliances such as washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges, freezers, dishwashers, cookers and smaller electrical appliances. It helps to identify all appliances when requesting a quotation.
Suitable office and commercial clearances can include desks, office chairs, filing cabinets, shelving, storage-room contents, stock-room furniture and general business contents.
Commercial jobs vary significantly in size and access, so detailed photographs or a site assessment may be required.
Storage units can contain furniture, boxes, household possessions, archived paperwork and belongings retained after a move. When enquiring, provide the facility location, approximate unit size, floor level, lift availability and vehicle access.
A professional clearance should consider what happens after contents leave the property. Where practical, suitable items can be separated for reuse, recycling and appropriate disposal.
If Birmingham House Clearance holds a current waste-carrier registration, the live website should display the actual registration details rather than relying only on the words ‘fully licensed’. Specific charity relationships should only be named where they genuinely exist.
The process is designed to be straightforward. Start by sending the full postcode and explaining the property type and what needs clearing. Photographs or a video can then show the rooms, large furniture, loft, garage, shed, cellar and any difficult access.
Anything that must stay should be clearly identified before work begins. Once the scope, access and contents are understood, the clearance can be planned around the actual property.
Photographs are often the quickest way to assess a clearance. For a full property, include one or two wide photographs of each room as well as any loft, garage, shed, cellar, large appliances and bulky furniture.
Where access is difficult, also photograph the staircase, lift, entrance, driveway and likely loading point. This helps assess labour as well as volume.
Urgent clearance may be needed because a property sale is completing, keys must be returned, tenants are leaving, builders are due, a probate property is going onto the market or circumstances have changed unexpectedly.
Same-day or short-notice availability depends on existing bookings, property size, volume, access and labour requirements. A realistic timescale should be given once the job is understood rather than promising every clearance can automatically be completed immediately.
Pricing depends on the actual work involved. Factors include total volume, number of rooms, stairs, parking, carrying distance, lift access, furniture dismantling, loft access, cellar access, garages, sheds and specialist items.
A small ground-floor flat is a very different job from a larger family property with a packed loft, garage and garden building, so quotations should reflect the actual property.
Anything that definitely needs to stay should be removed or clearly identified. Particular care should be taken with passports, wills, legal documents, jewellery, money, financial papers, photographs, medication, keys, family keepsakes and valuable collections.
For probate and bereavement properties, reviewing important paperwork before the general clearance begins is particularly sensible.
Not necessarily. Some customers live outside the area or are dealing with a relative’s property. Where secure access can be arranged and instructions are clear, it may be possible to complete the work without the customer remaining at the property throughout. This should always be agreed beforehand.
A clearance near Kings Heath Library, B14 7SW, can involve busy High Street access. A property near Kings Heath Station, B14 7SN, has a major transport connection but no station parking. A home around Heathfield Road, B14 7DB, sits in established residential streets close to the centre.
Further south, properties around Allens Croft, B14 6RP, Doversley Road, B14 6NN, and Woodthorpe, B14 6ET, can involve more garages, lofts and outside storage.
