House Clearance

The Auction Centre provides a professional and discreet house clearance service throughout Cheshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and North Wales. We are able to take care of the complete process from the initial consultation and site visit through to the clearance of the property and eventual sale of the contents.

Whether you have a terraced house, a suburban semi, a rural cottage or a country manor, our staff will exercise the same exceptional standard of care. They have the awareness and expertise to look out for valuables tucked away in unexpected places or hidden in attics and cellars. Over the years, we have discovered gold coins in a toolbox, a hoard of silver in a disused outhouse and rare paintings in an attic, all of which have gone on to realise top prices on behalf of the client at auction.

Free inspection and consultation

Whether you're a solicitor, estate agent, bank or building society working on behalf of a client, an executor or a private individual, we are able to provide you with a complete efficient service. We will arrange a free inspection and consultation at the relevant property offering professional advice on the various services that we provide whether you are seeking the removal of selected items or a full house clearance. This allows you to make an informed decision about which service is right for you. To arrange a free consultation please telephone 01928 579796.

Why use The Auction Centre for your Home Clearance?

The best reason is to ensure that your possessions, when sold, realise their maximum potential. There are many firms offering a house clearance service, but The Auction Centre with its wealth of expertise is best placed to provide the full package thus ensuring you get the best quality service and best possible value for your treasured possessions. Some firms may offer to buy the contents of your house or be happy to negotiate a reduced fee for its clearance in exchange for the contents. At auction, literally hundreds of potential buyers will be bidding thus ensuring that your property achieves its full potential.

Identifying Items of Value

One of the most common comments we hear when a client first contacts The Auction Centre regarding a deceased estate is "we don't know what is worth keeping and what to throw out". Our best advice is not to do anything until you have arranged a free, no obligation site visit from one of our consultants. You'd be amazed at the number of times we've rescued items of value that the client has put aside for disposal. And all too often the client tells us "if only we'd known about your services before we started throwing things away...we must have lost £100's"

Free Consultation

The initial site visit is free of charge and without obligation. We will inspect the property and offer advice regarding the value of the contents and discuss the various options. If you decide to proceed, we will agree a date with you to empty the property and transport the saleable items to The Auction Centre where they will be photographed, catalogued and stored ready for auction.
