House clearance against contents: is it possible?
Unfortunately, it almost never happens that we can completely clear a house in exchange for its contents. This is because the value of the contents usually does not exceed the total cost of the clearance. This is because there are quite a few costs associated with the clearance such as personnel costs, waste disposal costs, transport costs, etc. However, we can offset the value of the household effects against the clearance costs. This way, you can easily save on the clearance costs.
Valuing household effects
If you are interested, we can value your contents. We will then pay attention to the following items:
- Are there any valuable items present?
- What is the condition of these items?
- What is the market value of these items?
- What is the marketability of these items
In doing so, you will receive an amount from us which we can give you as a discount on the clearance costs.

Free house clearance: is it possible?
Unfortunately, it is almost never possible to have a house cleared for free. This is because the cost of the eviction often exceeds the proceeds from the contents. Of course, there are exceptions, but it is rare. However, by selling the contents, you can save significantly on the total cost of the clearance. Want more information?

What does a house clearance cost?
When you choose to have a house clearance done, it’s natural to want an estimate of the cost. The cost depends greatly on several factors, such as the size of the home, the amount of contents to be removed, and any additional services such as cleaning or minor repairs. In this article, we explain more about the factors that determine the cost of a house clearance and provide tips on how to save on these costs. We always like to be as transparent as possible about the costs involved in an eviction, as well as how you can cut costs with work you might already be able to do yourself.
Below are estimates of the cost of a house clearance by type of home. Please note that these are estimates and actual costs may vary. Thus, the costs depend on a number of factors such as the size of the home, the amount of contents, etc.
| Type woning | Gemiddelde kosten woningontruiming |
|---|---|
| Senioren kamer | €250 tot €450 |
| Kleine woning (1 tot 2 kamers) | €250 tot €650 |
| Eengezinswoning | €700 tot €1600 |
| Grote woning (meer dan 3 slaapkamers) | €850 tot €2000 |
Costs can vary depending on several factors. Consider the size of the home, the amount of contents to be removed and any additional services such as cleaning or trash removal.
- The size of the home – The size of the home often plays a role in the cost. This is because a larger home often means more contents, as well as more cleaning (if necessary), for example.
- Quantity and type of contents – The amount of contents and type of items (e.g., heavy furniture) can also affect the cost. Special or heavy items may require extra effort or personnel to be removed safely.
- Disposal of waste – The cost of disposing of waste can vary. Some items may require special disposal.
- Additional services – Sometimes additional services are needed such as cleaning the home and making minor repairs.
House clearance saving tips
You can sometimes save a little on the cost of house clearance by doing some preliminary work in advance. Here are some things you can already do yourself:
- Pre-sort – Pre-sort your belongings by what should be kept, donated or discarded. This saves time during the clearance process.
- Remove small items yourself – If necessary, see if you can already dispose of some smaller items yourself, this in turn saves the house de-clutterers time.
- Sell or donate: Consider selling or donating furniture or other items. Not only does this reduce the amount of household contents to be removed, but it can also offset some of the costs (consider the Salvation Army, for example; we often work with them as well).
- Recycling and waste disposal – By taking responsibility for separating and disposing of recyclable material or waste yourself, you can save on waste disposal costs.
