Selling a property at auction is the fast and efficient way to achieve an agreed sale, often within a matter of weeks. However, before a property is marketed and sold, there are things that can be done to ensure the best possible price is achieved. One crucial step in this process can be property clearance. If a property is cluttered, filled with old furniture, or has accumulated waste, it can affect potential buyers, limit access on viewings, and potentially lower the final sale price. When an auction client instructs CleverClear, we act fast. We’ll leave your property, empty, swept and hoovered, and ready for sale.
Tim Cullen & Kerry Murphy, the Directors of CleverClear, have years of knowledge and experience working within difficult, sensitive, and time sensitive situations. Kerry says; ‘We’re sure that even the most run down properties at auction benefit from being cleared and swept through before sale. It has a direct effect on the selling price. Buyers can visualise the potential of a property much more clearly, and when a property is safer and more accessible after a clearance, we also feel that this adds to its saleability, and ultimately its value.’
That’s where using an eco-friendly house clearance company like CleverClear makes a significant difference. Our years of experience in the property industry mean that we know exactly what to do and how to do it. Here’s why choosing our sustainable clearance service is the smartest decision for property owners selling at auction.
A cluttered property can give the impression of neglect, making it harder for buyers to see its true potential. Using CleverClear ensures that everything unnecessary is removed efficiently, leaving the property clear and ready for auction marketing. Professional auction photos and viewings will showcase the space more effectively, leading to increased interest and potentially higher bids. Buyers can imagine the potential of a property much more clearly without waste and clutter.
Auction sales typically happen on a strict timeline. Unlike private sales, where sellers can take their time preparing a property, auction properties need to be cleared and marketed quickly. CleverClear specialises in fast, efficient house clearances, ensuring that the property is ready for viewings in record time. This allows sellers to meet auction deadlines without any stress.
One of the biggest concerns with house clearances is waste. Many traditional clearance companies simply dispose of items in landfill, contributing to environmental harm. CleverCleartakes a different approach by prioritizing recycling, donating, and responsible disposal. By choosing an eco-friendly clearance service, property owners can feel confident that their unwanted items are being handled sustainably.
A key benefit of using CleverClear is that we donate usable furniture, household items, and clothing to charities. This means that instead of sending perfectly good items to waste recycling, we can help people that will make good use of your unwanted items and material. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also gives sellers peace of mind, knowing that their unwanted belongings are doing some good.
There are strict waste disposal regulations in the UK, and property owners are responsible for ensuring their waste is disposed of legally. Using an eco-friendly, licensed clearance company like CleverClear eliminates the risk of improper disposal or fly-tipping, which can lead to fines or legal consequences. Sellers can rest assured that everything is handled responsibly and in compliance with the law.
Some property owners hesitate to use professional house clearance services due to cost concerns. However, CleverClear offers competitive pricing while providing added value through recycling, donations, and efficient service. In many cases, the improved presentation of a property after clearance can result in a higher sale price at auction, making it a worthwhile investment.
Using our eco-friendly house clearance company CleverClear before selling a property at auction is a smart move. It ensures a quick and efficient clearance, maximizes the property’s appeal and value, and aligns with sustainable practices. For property owners looking to sell at auction, choosing a responsible clearance service can lead to a smoother sale process and a better financial outcome, all while helping the environment.
