A complete house clearance service covering London, Surrey and beyond. We identify items of value before anything is cleared — ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Two ways we can help
Ideal for estates, probate and properties where items of value may be present. Our team identify antiques, jewellery, collectables and other valuables before anything is cleared. Suitable items go to auction — often offsetting or covering the cost of the clearance entirely.
Simply need the property cleared? Our sister company Clear It Out provides fast, reliable house clearance across London and Surrey. Free estimates, licensed waste carrier, full public liability insurance.
The London Auctions Difference
Most house clearance companies clear everything — regardless of whether items have value. At London Auctions, our team walk through the property first, identifying anything suitable for auction before the clearance begins.
This matters because properties that have been lived in for many years often contain items of real value sitting alongside ordinary household contents. Without someone who knows what to look for, these can easily be missed — sold for pennies at a car boot sale or sent straight to landfill.
In many cases, the proceeds from the auction sale offset some or all of the clearance cost — making our service genuinely better value than a standard clearance.
What We Look For
Once these have been identified, we arrange for the rest of the contents to be cleared. There is usually a charge for this to cover labour and the disposal of items with no saleable value, and our reuse and recycling policy keeps as little as possible out of landfill.

Probate House Clearance
We specialise in probate house clearance, from the initial probate valuation through to the final clearance of the property. We always recommend starting with a probate valuation: we attend the property and make a comprehensive list of anything with a saleable value at auction. Our fees for this depend on the size of the property, and you receive a report on headed paper that can be sent straight to your solicitor. Because we hold regular auctions, our valuations reflect current market prices, and anything identified can be entered into one of our sales.
After the valuation, we provide a quote to clear the rest of the property, carried out quickly and professionally. We can also help with transporting items being kept by family and friends, shipping goods abroad, cleaning the property after clearance, and staging properties that are being put on the market.
