Selling a collection or Clearing an Estate

The Estate Clearance Company is well connected to ensure prompt clearance at fair value.

FAST - Instant cash payment

No waiting, No storage, No headache, No unknown fees

The fastest way to clear an estate is to sell as much of the contents in one transaction as you can. Where the estate contains enough value we will often purchase the entire lot following an onsite inspection. Often we will ask for example photos to be emailed to us first - saves us all time.

SAFE - Formal valuation

Peace of Mind - know the value prior to sale

Where you have high value items or feel nervous about cash price offers (we completely understand), we can provide formal valuation by professional antique and art valuers (our sister company, Fine Antiques).

You can have specific individual items valued and have a personal walk-around for verbal estimation of value.

CHRISTCHURCH AUCTION - Selling at auction

Let the market determine the price

We highly recommend Prestige Jones Auctions, Christchurch Auctioneers that offer the best buyers and sellers premiums.

When items go to auction, the auction house will charge a commission to both the seller (you) and the winning buyer. The typical total commission rates range between 36% - 45%+ .

Prestige Jones Auctions charge a buyers premium of only 12.65% and a sellers premium of around 15% depending on the value of the goods. Their website provides a nice summary of New Zealand Auction House Buyers Fees.

MAXIMISE - Sell on behalf

Optimising liquidation value

Where there is suitable value we can offer to sell on-behalf.

We sell items through the most suitable channel to maximise sale rates with audiences New Zealand wide, charging 20% commission on net proceeds, with payment to you within 5 working days of sale.
