Understanding House Clearance Prices
The price of a house clearance in Belgium is not fixed. It depends mainly on the volume to remove and the accessibility of the property.
A house clearance professional like AAB sorts everything on site: what you keep is set aside, reusable items are donated to charities and the rest is recycled. The quote is free and detailed.
The Clearance Fee
Fixed clearance fee
A fixed fee is set according to volume to cover labour, transport, sorting and disposal at the recycling centre.
Example: Cellar filled with old boxes, damaged IKEA furniture -> 250 euro fee
Factors That Influence Price
Volume to clear
The more there is, the more work involved. A studio is not a 4-bedroom house.
Type of items
Bulky items, appliances, special waste: some require a specific recycling channel.
Accessibility
Floor without lift, narrow staircase, difficult parking = supplement.
Location
Distance from Brussels. Travel costs are included in the quote.
Urgency
24-hour service possible but may incur a supplement.
Cleaning
Post-clearance cleaning option available for an additional fee.

How to Reduce the Cost of a House Clearance
Separate what you want to keep. The less there is to clear, the less it costs.
Furniture and items that are still usable are donated to charities rather than thrown away.
Take boxes, clothes and small items to the recycling centre.
Compare offers. Beware of prices that are too low and hide surprises.
Avoid urgent services which can be more expensive.
