Timely Estate Clearance

We understand the complex nature of clearing an estate - In most cases a very difficult time for you that we would love to help you with.

Flexibility and commitment to deadlines is essential for all to run smooth. We will work in with you, typically clearing a house within one-two weeks, cleaning the inside within the following two weeks.

Where a more urgent job is required then please talk with us, most things are possible.

Our experience will provide a cost effective and well managed clearance.

Managed Liquidation and clearing of contents

Once all sentimental items are removed, you will meet with one of our staff members to assess the estate.

This initial assessment visit carries a fee however you should gain knowledge about important items - useful even if you choose not to proceed. It will also allow us to detail exactly how we can help you.

Following this visit we will present an offer to manage the estate clearance, and sometimes with options to purchase items of value outright. We will also include cleanup options.

Struggling to divide items with the family?

If you are struggling to separate items amoung family you may wish to consider formal valuation reporting through specialised valuers.

Personal Items

At all times we will look for important family items (photos, letters and documetns) to set aside for family review. 

Maximising return on sale of items:

Items of high value are always worth ensuring maximum return. The trick is to sell through the right channels and minimise associated costs of sales. This is something we are very experienced with and is our primary difference is compared to others.

Auction houses will charge both the seller (you) and the buyer commissions, often a combined cost of around 40%+.  Because of this cost it is important to choose wisely which items are sold where. Auction houses are great for clearing low value items, and sometimes some auction houses have access to specialised buyers to achieve very strong results. We known which options do best and are also connected to many collectors & dealers which will help save on costs.

At times we can also buy from you which will mean you receive payment right away. Please view the list below to gain a good idea of items that often sell well locally.

Example items that sell well locally:
  • Antiques and New Zealand Art works (paintings and sculpture).
  • China, pottery, figurines and collectables: Crown Lynn, NZ pottery, Royal Doulton, Royal Worcester, Crown Derby etc.
  • Mid century, vintage and retro items. Lamps, furniture, art glass, watches etc.
  • Sterling silver, bronze figurines and decorative arts.
  • Watches, Gold, Jewellery.
  • Video games, consoles, board games, and toy collections.
  • LP Records & stereo equipment.
  • Whiteware, TV's, furniture and other general household items.

Cleaning & dumping

Once we have agreed to the estate clearance, we will then be able to remove the main items. Quickly following we can remove all the other low value items to give to charity, dumping all items of very low value or rubbish.
