HOW DO HOUSE CLEARANCES WORK ?

Using Auctioneers to identify and declare your valuables

17/01/2025     General News

Clearing a house can be emotionally draining and time-consuming. At Auctioneum of Bath & Bristol, we offer a comprehensive valuation and house clearance along with transportation service to ease the burden on people struggling to make sense of the winding up of an estate. One of the biggest issues we face when assisting families is the confusion regarding what is valuable and what is not. By using our team of expert valuers, we identify, value and inform you of what is of value in the property, what can be sold in auction and ultimately what this brings in value for you to use against the costs of dealing with the estate.
With our house clearance service, our valuation team will identify, value and remove any particularly valuable items such as period pieces of furniture, ceramics, jewellery and watches and prepare these items for auction for which a receipt will be given to help you keep track of items removed. This is where our skilled team comes into their own and knows how to make the most out of the items going to auction and maximising the contents of the property in hand.  The first step of this process is to call and arrange for one of our valuation team to come along to the property and inspect the contents of the house first.
Finally, we will clear out everything remaining in the house after the family has removed any personal items or keepsakes. Any recyclable items such as paper, cardboard, shoes and clothing that are not suitable for auction or charity will be taken away and recycled. At every stage of the process, we would talk through our actions and decisions and ensure you feel in control throughout. 
 Professional valuation and clearance by Auctioneum will give you peace of mind when it comes to knowing what's valuable and how to undertake the sale and disposal of items in a property. General house clearance companies do not have the expertise or knowledge to deal with items of value or identifying antiques and collectables. When it comes to a property you believe has value within the contents, contact us in the 1st instance for a free home valuation and clearance quote consultation
