What moves the price
- Volume of contents — house clearance is priced by van loads or weight, so a fully furnished home costs several times a flat
- Heavy and specialist items — fridges, mattresses, pianos and paint need separate disposal routes
- Access — upper floors with no lift and no parking outside slow the clearance crew down
- Items that can be resold — furniture with resale value can bring the clearance price down
- Hoarded or cluttered homes — a property packed to the ceiling takes far more crew hours to clear
- London and the South East — house clearance there costs about a fifth to a third more than elsewhere

How to pay less
- Sell or give away good furniture before the house clearance so fewer van loads are needed
- Ask whether the clearance firm offsets resaleable items against the price
- Have the family take the keepsakes and papers first so the clearance crew is not paid to sort them
Before you book
- Look up the clearance firm on the public register of waste carriers and ask for a waste transfer note
- Remove documents, photographs, jewellery and anything the family wants before the crew arrives
- Tell the clearance company about stairs, parking and any items that need special disposal
- Get a fixed written house clearance price after a visit or photos, not a vague phone estimate
House Clearance cost: questions people ask
£150–£1,000, with £450 typical for a one- or two-bed home. A part-filled flat outside London costs least; a fully furnished family house costs most, and a hoarded home can go beyond the range.
Half a day for a small flat, one to two days for most houses, and several days where the home is heavily cluttered.
You can be. Householders have a legal duty to pass waste only to an authorised carrier, and councils can fine you if your rubbish is dumped by someone unregistered. Checking the carrier's registration and keeping the transfer note protects you.
Yes — clearance firms often work to a completion or handover date, and many will clear, clean and leave the house ready for the agent.
Deep cleaning, garden clearance, carpet lifting and hazardous waste such as asbestos are normally priced as separate jobs.
