Eviction against the sale of your belongings
Suppose you want to have your home cleared, but you do not want to pay sky-high costs. What now? An evacuation company like ours offers a solution. We will take over your belongings in exchange for clearing out your home. This means: no house clearance costs for you! Very nice, right?
Of course, the proceeds from your home will be somewhat lower than if you sold it. But you get a lot of convenience in return:
- A quick and efficient evacuation
- No worries about selling or disposing of your belongings
- And above all: no unexpected costs!
Valuation of your contents
But how do we determine the value of your belongings? That is indeed an important point when evicting in exchange for contents. Our experienced appraisers use different methods to arrive at a fair price:
- An online valuation based on your photos and descriptions
- A thorough on-site inspection by an expert
- Or a combination of both for the most accurate result
Do you want to get the most out of your belongings? Then we have a few tips:
- Present your belongings at their best: clean them and arrange them neatly
- Please provide us with as much information as possible about the condition and age of the items
- Would you like to point out valuable or unique pieces to us? We certainly appreciate that!
A second life for your things through a thrift store
Would you rather see your belongings go to a good cause? Then consider having it picked up for free by a thrift store near you. This way your belongings get a second life and you support a good cause. Two birds with one stone!
But please note: this is purely a charity case. You will not receive any compensation for your belongings. And not all thrift stores accept everything. They often use a list of accepted goods. Moreover, it may take a while for them to come to you, so take into account a longer wait time.
Buying up household contents: how does it work?
Do you see more merit in selling your belongings yourself? That's also possible! There are several options:
- Are you going for convenience? Try online sales via Marktplaats or Facebook Marketplace
- Would you like to involve the neighborhood? Organize a fun garage sale
- Do you have valuable pieces? An auction via an auction house can be interesting
But how do you attract eager customers? Easy:
- Take attractive photos and write clear descriptions of your items
- Compare your prices to similar items to determine market value
- Be realistic and open to negotiation
- Provide a secure and reliable payment method to prevent tampering
Have your house cleared for free
Does a completely free house clearance sound too good to be true? It usually is. Even for clearance companies there are costs for transport, labor and waste processing. After all, we can't do magic!
But there are exceptions in which a very affordable or even free evacuation is possible:
- If your contents are very valuable and cover the evacuation costs
- In case of a social or charitable situation
- Some municipalities offer subsidies or support programs
Our advice? Always request multiple quotes and inquire with your municipality about possible support. This way you are guaranteed to find the best deal.

Do you still have questions? Don't worry, you're not alone! Here we have the answers to the most frequently asked questions about clearing your house in exchange for contents:
Can I decide for myself which things I keep?
Naturally! Indicate clearly in advance which items you want to keep or sell. The clearance company takes this into account when assessing and clearing.
How long does an evacuation take on average?
This varies per home and contents. Allow 1 to 5 days for a standard evacuation. But this may take shorter or longer in specific cases.
What does the clearance company do with my belongings?
After the eviction, the company will carefully sort your belongings. Salable items are sold through stores, auctions or online channels. Unsaleable items go to charity or are recycled.
Can I get additional services, such as cleaning?
Of course! Many house clearance companies offer additional services. Think of cleaning, disassembling furniture or even minor repairs. Inquire about the options and associated costs.
