House Clearance Costs

Hi. Just wondering if anyone can give a ball park figure for a house clearance, the usual furniture basically, nothing of any great value. Usual tables and chairs beds cupboards wardrobes etc. I realise it's not going to be an exact figure.Thanks

What size is the house?
ie number of bedrooms .. detached .. semi detached..

Instead of paying for the house clearance, why not stick up some notices around the house.

Advertise a 'garage sale' for next Saturday, put notices up tomorrow.

You will find everyone flocking and happy to pay you.

You don't need a garage, just open the doors.

Two bedroom end of terrace. lounge,dining room and kitchen and some small items in a shed, nothing as big as lawnmower.

As to the sale idea, probably a good idea but as we aren't living in the property I'd be worried it might advertise it being a potentially empty property, but thanks for the suggestion.

Can you maybe contact Age Concern or The Salvation Army to see if they would clear the large items, the YMCA possibly also?

You could try offering some items on Freecycle, then the new owners would come and take things away for free.

Appliances and furniture could be offered to the British Heart Foundation. I know of one huge retail premises where they sell lots. Household items (not appliances) could be offered to your nearest homeless charity or womens refuge if you think any of it would be useful to a person with nothing. There are also community projects who refurbish and sell furniture for selling on cheaply to the disadvantaged. Failing any of those you'll find takers if you offer them for collection on Freecycle.

Hi, my dad sorted out my nan's house clearance a little while ago. She lived in a two-bed bungalow in Hitchin, Herts and we got quotes between £200 and £400. I think the cheapest one looked like was going to fly-tip though so we didn't go with him! Hope this helps.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll probably do a combination of both. Thanks everyone.
