What buying house contents means here
Alongside paid house clearances, Local House Clearances is interested in buying household contents with genuine resale value. It is a central part of what we do, not an afterthought.
We look at the contents of a property in two parts: what needs clearing, and separately what may be worth buying. Where the resale value is there, that value can work in your favour. Whether a purchase is possible, and any amount offered, always depends on inspection, assessment and agreement.
Not everything has resale value, and an enquiry does not guarantee an offer. We will always tell you honestly whether we can help and, if so, what we may be able to offer. We do not promise minimum valuations, and we do not promise that any clearance will be free.
Who this is for
- Clearing a property and hoping the contents help cover the cost
- Selling on valuable items you no longer want, without a full clearance
- Settling an estate that includes collectable or valuable contents
- Landlords left with contents that may be worth something
- Anyone unsure whether their items have resale value
Two ways this can work
There is no single fixed arrangement. How a purchase fits depends on whether you also need a clearance, and on the resale value of your contents.
Sell to us without a clearance
You can offer valuable household contents for purchase on their own, without arranging a clearance. If you have items you no longer want and they hold resale value, we may buy them directly.
Offset a clearance against your contents
When a clearance is needed, the potential purchase value of your contents may reduce or offset the clearance charge. In some circumstances, where the value is sufficient, we may offer to buy the contents rather than charge to remove them.
Every purchase and valuation is subject to inspection, assessment and agreement. We do not guarantee that anything will be purchased, promise minimum valuations, or claim that every clearance can be free.
