Purchasing of Furniture and Household Goods
Our Services
Not enough space
It’s time to vacate the home of a loved one after his or her death. What do you do with their household effects? You most likely want to keep some of their possessions, you may know a new home for a number of others, but often there is no place for a large part of them.
Maybe you’re moving somewhere smaller and are faced with a similar situation. There are plenty of reasons why you may no longer have space, and want to sell the contents of a home.
Appraisal and purchase of household contents
We have a lot of experience appraising the contents of a house, and are able to separate those things of value, from the other contents of a home. We can appraise parts of what you have, or the entire contents of the house. For those things where it makes sense, we can therefore offer you a fair price to purchase them from you. This amount is deducted from the quote given for the overall work, saving you money.
What’s more, we can quickly discern items that will be able to find new life through charity or thrift stores, and those that are best suited to be taken to the recycling center.
Donating household effects
For those items that do not hold salable value, if you wish, we can donate to an institution or other charity. If that’s the case, then we are happy to help you with handling the logistics, so you don’t have to worry about moving and transporting anything yourself. We know a large number of possible destinations for usable items, but if you have a specific charity in mind, we can of course take them there.
If you would instead like to find an agreement on a total price for the entire house clearance and furniture purchases, that is also possible. Contact us, and we will sit and talk with you to discuss the possibilities.
A Quick Quote
We understand that it is often important that a clearance takes place as soon as possible, so that a new tenant or buyer can enter the property. WoningontruimingNu is flexible and quick to act. When you call, we can often come by the next day. Starting straight away, we sit and talk with you, to create an inventory of what is to be done, and what is needed, and then offer you a customized quote right there on the spot; all without obligation
Personal Advice
When we visit you, we come with an extensive checklist detailing everything that needs to be done. During the viewing, we walk through the building, the office or the boat together. We look at how we can empty the different spaces for you, what goes with you, and to what you bid farewell.
Moving Home
In addition to emptying, repairing and removing household goods, items and material, you can of course also count on us for moving home. Are you going from a larger to a smaller house, for example? We transport your most precious possessions to your new home, and take care of emptying your old house, leaving it looking new and ready, returned to a broom clean condition.
Broom Clean Condition
We deliver your old house broom clean. This condition is set in almost every lease and purchase contract. Broom clean delivery also means that light fixtures and curtain rails, stickers and other materials must be removed, and any holes in walls must be filled.
After the removal of a light a terminal block is always placed on it, for safety and to prevent short circuits.
Repair Work
Does the floor need to be taken out, or are there other repairs still required, such as removing a kitchen unit or fixing a wall? We have the ability and experience to do all of these things. We are in touch with the municipality, real estate agents and housing cooperatives, so we know exactly how the property should be delivered.
Removal of Asbestos
Though it is no longer used in modern construction, occasionally we still find it in old houses: the carcinogenic material asbestos. The safe removal of asbestos requires both specialized knowledge and specialized equipment. We are trained in this, and have all the appropriate equipment to remove any asbestos encountered in a safe and secure manner.
Purchase of Furniture and Goods
The majority of household contents that are no longer wanted or needed, we can take to the thrift store, or recycle in a responsible manner. If there are specific items of value of interest, we will make an appraisal and can offer to purchase them from you; this can then be deducted from the cost of the overall work. If you would like to reach an agreement on selling the household contents as a whole, this can also be discussed.
In this way, we contribute to a circular economy.
Disposal of Waste in an Environmentally Conscious Manner
Years of experience have shown us that, unfortunately, most unwanted household contents are not actually suitable for refurbishment and resale. If this is the case we dispose of what can’t be reused, in an environmentally conscious manner. We know the exact rules for your municipality, and we know where to take the waste in line with this.
Temporary Storage of Household Goods
Sometimes it all just goes far too quickly, and you don’t have the time or space in your mind to think about what to do with all of your household items. For both the short term, and the long term, you can store any of your belongings within our warehouse – be it for a day, a month, or even a few years. We can also help you sort out what can be discarded, and what can go into storage; that way, you can be sure to take only the most essential items there.
