• Completion within one day due to the upcoming sale completion

The House Clearance Process

Living Areas & Bedrooms

The living room contained a selection of well-preserved 1960s furniture, including a G-Plan coffee table and a vintage cocktail cabinet, which we identified as potentially valuable. The bedrooms had various wooden wardrobes and chests of drawers, as well as a collection of vintage linens and embroidered tablecloths, which we donated.

Kitchen & Dining Room

The kitchen featured an old farmhouse-style table, which we arranged to donate to a local charity shop. We also found a collection of silver-plated serving trays and cutlery, which the family had overlooked, and they opted to sell these along with a boxed set of fine bone china dinnerware.

Garage & Shed

The garage contained a variety of old tools and equipment, including a vintage cast-iron vice that we purchased. The shed housed an assortment of garden ornaments, including a pair of Victorian stone planters, which the family had no use for and chose to sell.
