Why Your House Clearance in Norwich Could Actually Make You Money (The Auction Advantage)

When you’re tasked with clearing a house—whether it’s a terrace in the Golden Triangle, a family home in Thorpe St Andrew, or a country house near Wymondham—the first feeling is often one of being overwhelmed.

Most people’s first instinct is to call a "man with a van" or a rubbish removal firm. They pay a fee, the van is loaded, and the contents are gone. But at Mander Auctions in Norwich, our house clearance team try to do things differently.

As the only RICS Chartered Auction House in Norwich, we approach a house clearance not just as a removal job, but as a treasure hunt.

Don't Pay to Throw Away Value

The biggest mistake we see is people paying to dispose of items that have significant value. In a recent clearance we handled in Norfolk, our specialists identified several pieces of mid-century furniture and a collection of silver that the family had assumed were "junk."

Instead of a bill for disposal, those items went to auction, and the proceeds completely covered the cost of the clearance, with a cheque being sent back to the family afterward.

The Mander Auctions 3-Step Solution

1. Professional Eye: We send an RICS-accredited valuer to the property first. We identify what’s valuable (Antiques, Jewellery, Art, or even quality modern Furniture).

2. Auction First: We transport the saleable items to our Norwich or Sudbury salerooms to be professionally catalogued and sold to a global audience.

3. A Clean Slate: Once the valuables are removed, our team clears the remaining contents—including recycling and waste—leaving the property "swept clean" and ready for sale or transfer.

4. 
   

Professionalism You Can Trust

House clearances are often required during sensitive times, such as probate or downsizing. Because we are RICS accredited, we work to a strict code of ethics. We work closely with local solicitors and executors across Norwich, Wymondham, and the surrounding areas to provide a transparent, respectful, and fully insured service.

Affordable and Local

We believe professional service shouldn't come with a "premium" price tag. At just £50/hr +vat for two men and a large Luton van, we are proud to be the most competitive professional clearance service in the region.
