There are plenty of ways to save money on a house clearance, you could even make money from one!

Categorising Items 

Before you get in contact with any house clearance companies you should first go through the rooms, locating and separating valuables and items you plan on keeping. This will reduce the chance of important belongings being thrown away accidentally during the clearance. You may have unknown antiques and rare items lying around, doing your research on old items could be the difference between throwing something away or selling it for hundreds, or even thousands.

Reducing The Amount Of Waste For Disposal

Most house clearance companies charge based on material and the size of the item. If you have a number of furniture pieces that need to be removed, you may want to consider donating them to charity shops or listing them online for interested buyers. This will then reduce the amount of waste that the house clearance company will need to collect and dispose of. This is another great way to help the environment and other people who could make use of your old junk, making you some extra money.

Choosing The Right Company 

Once you have decided on the items you want to keep, you should begin looking into different clearance companies. It’s important to research all of the companies beforehand, cowboy companies could lead to serious fines of up to £2,000 from flytipping. Reading reviews is a great way to learn more about their legitimacy. You should also look into the company’s accreditations and certifications, Environmental Agency licences and duty of care waste transfer notes are desirable.
