House Clear Auctions

• Are you faced with the clearance of the entire contents of a property following the passing of the owner?

• Have the family already sorted through everything and taken what they want to keep personally?

• Is your next step to contact a House Clearance company to take everything that remains so you can offer the property for sale?

Before you do, have you considered what that may cost?

​

• Would it surprise you to know that some House Clearance companies will charge you to take everything away and although charges vary greatly depending on location and company used,  it is not unheard of for that charge to be substantial.

• Even if quoted a modest sum, this is a cost that has to be paid up-front and is necessary to make sure the property can be presented for sale in the best possible order, making  it is very difficult to escape this payment, plus very useable and saleable items may be taken without any discount applied as to their value.

• House Clearance companies have to make a living after all and they are faced with charges to dispose of certain items they are clearing for you, so perhaps they cannot be blamed for charging you for that service. Not all House Clearance companies will charge the same and you can, of course, shop around for the best price,

​

But there is a another way you can  offset that charge -

and still achieve the clearance of the property quickly!​

Choosing value, not losing value​

• ​House Clear Auctions is a service offered by Stevens Auctioneers and is tailor-made to your personal circumstances.

• ​We organise an online bidding solution on your behalf, to auction all property contents in-situ, without the need to arrange transportation to a local static auction house.

• We value, catalogue and photograph all the goods in the property, provide a virtual video tour and operate a diarised appointment system for both viewing and post-sale collections on designated days.

• We also operate a full shipping service  for the smaller items if collections cannot be achieved post-sale, and liaise with local delivery companies to take larger items straight to the purchaser's door.

• This means the property is effectively cleared by the purchasers of the contents, who are paying you to do so by buying your unwanted items!

And we do all of this for an agreed fixed fee with NO additional Seller's Commission charged!​

This means:

• The value of the goods sold can be offset against any further costs incurred to present the property for sale.

• Goods offered for sale in-situ are likely to find a better price than when stacked in a distant auction house setting.

• The goods will be sold at a price the market can sustain.

• The clearance will be completed within a clear defined timescale.​

We believe this is a service of particular interest to Estate Agents looking to get a property fit for listing on the market, Solicitors for Probate, as well as Executors and Beneficiaries of deceased estates looking for help towards the costs of clearance.

Whilst this has always been available for larger estates, the online auction approach now opens up this facility to much more modest properties, previously thought to be too small to hold effective sales on-site .

​This service is designed to speed up the process for the property to be placed on the market by completing the clearance of residential contents as quickly as possible, but could also apply to:​​

​

• Companies liquidating unsold stock

• Shops/Hotels/Nursing homes facing closure

• Storage companies requiring removal of unit contents where rental has stopped

• Compulsory purchased or abandoned properties with extensive contents to be cleared

• Agricultural storage buildings requiring complete clearance of goods stored
