Household liquidation: process, costs and what to watch out for

18 June 2026 5 min

A household liquidation is rarely just a logistical matter. Often there's a bereavement, a care situation, or a major life change behind it. All the more important that the practical part runs respectfully and smoothly. Here's how a household liquidation works with us and what it costs.

What's the difference between a clearance and a household liquidation?

A clearance removes part of a household – basement, attic, garage. A household liquidation (also called an apartment clearance) dissolves a complete household: all furniture, the entire contents, everything is sorted, reused or disposed of, and the rooms are handed over broom-clean.

How it works

  • Free survey: we get an overview and prepare a fixed-price quote
  • Sorting: keepsakes and documents are set aside for you
  • Reuse: usable items are donated or credited
  • Disposal: the rest is disposed of properly and responsibly
  • Handover: broom-clean – ready for landlord, sale or new tenants

What does a household liquidation cost?

As a guide: from €35–60 per m². A complete apartment clearance starts at around €590, a basement clearance at around €290. Important: well-preserved furniture, appliances or antiques are credited toward the price – which can noticeably lower the cost. You get the binding fixed price after the free survey.

For estates: discretion goes without saying

With estate liquidations we work especially carefully. Personal items, photos and documents are set aside rather than disposed of – and you decide in peace what happens with them. On request we document the handover for the landlord or probate court.
