How does your antique house clearance service work?

Here are four common scenarios:

1 If the contents of the house to be cleared have no antiques or collectables with resale value, then we suggest you use a reputable, licensed & insured house clearance company like Abacus.

2 Some of the house clearance contents may have resale value. Common items with resale value include antiques, precious metals, jewellery, collectables and artwork. We'll give you an allowance for these and deduct it against the cost of the clearance.

3 If the majority of your house clearance items are valuable and this value exceeds the clearance costs, we’ll give you the difference (either in cash or cheque).

4 And finally, where the contents of your property have been valued for probate, this value can also be deducted from the cost of your house clearance. No matter which service you need, we can help.
