Clearance

For items not suitable for sale, we can provide a full house clearance quote. Our clearance fees are based on the volume and weight of items in the property. Fees can be offset against auction proceeds if required, meaning no estate funds are needed up front.

All charges are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.
