How much does a house clearance usually cost in Brussels?

Between 650 and 2,800 euros depending on the volume and access. However, the value of your recoverable furniture is deducted from this invoice.

How can I get a free house clearance?

If the value of your antiques and resalable furniture exactly covers the logistical costs (truck, labor, dump fees), the clearance is free.

What is the average cost of a house clearance?

The cost varies depending on the quantity and value of items present. With our 3 transparent pricing options, the service can be entirely free if the value of your belongings covers our costs. Otherwise, we provide a competitive and transparent quote. Contact us for a free estimate.

Can a house clearance really be free?

It's very simple. When we come to your house, we calculate two things: 1. The cost of our work: trucks, our team's labor, disposal/recycling fees, and our business margin. 2. The value of your items: furniture, antiques, and objects we can resell. • If your items are worth EXACTLY the cost of our work = The clearance is 100% FREE. • If your items are worth MORE than our work = We clear the house AND pay you the difference. • If your items are worth LESS than our work = You pay a clear, fixed price to cover the remaining costs.

How long does it take to clear a 3-bedroom house?

Generally, a team of 2-3 people can clear a 3-bedroom house in one day (6-8 hours). For more complex cases or difficult access, this may extend to two days. We assess this during the quoting process.

What if the house is hard to access or has no lift?

This is our daily work. We operate in upper-floor apartments across Brussels, in narrow streets in Ixelles or Schaerbeek. We handle the lift reservation and sort out parking permits with the local municipality for you.

House clearance pricing in Brussels in 2026: rates, deductions, and tips

The price of a house clearance in Brussels varies considerably depending on the provider, the total volume, and — above all — the value of recoverable items. Here are the real market figures across Brussels in 2026.

The 5 key factors that genuinely drive the price

Volume (in m³): the core basis of the quote. A studio = 5 to 10 m³, a 2–3 bed flat = 15 to 25 m³, a family house = 25 to 60 m³.
Accessibility: floor level without a lift, narrow spiral staircase, distance to the truck, need for an external furniture hoist.
Waste sorting and hazardous materials: WEEE (electronics), asbestos, mattresses, and chemicals have specific disposal fees.
Sanitary condition: an unsanitary or Diogenes situation requires full PPE, disinfection, and additional labor.
Recoverable value: antiques, design furniture, recent appliances, tools — anything we can resell is deducted directly from the bill.

Observed price ranges in Brussels in 2026

The figures below are rough estimates before deducting the value of recoverable belongings:

Studio / small apartment: €650 – €1,400
2 to 3 bedroom apartment: €1,200 – €2,800
Family home: €2,500 – €6,500
Cellar, attic, or garage only: €300 – €900
Unsanitary property / Diogenes syndrome: on-site inspection quote only

The 3 pricing scenarios: invoiced, free, or profitable

Invoiced you pay the difference

Free balance €0

Profitable we pay you

This is our key distinction in Brussels: we systematically apply a deduction for recoverable value. The estimated market value of antiques, quality furniture, and resaleable goods is deducted directly from your invoice.

ℹ️ How does the value deduction work?

During our free appraisal visit, our specialist estimates the resaleable items. This amount is written explicitly on a dedicated line in the quote. If the resale value exceeds our operational costs, we pay you the difference.

Hidden costs to check on any quote

Always verify whether the following are included:

VAT (21%)
Municipal parking space reservation (~€45 / day)
External furniture hoist if required (€350 to €700)
Recypark entry fees for non-residents
Final sweeping and cleaning

⚠️ Beware of unrealistically low estimates

A quote 'from €299' without VAT, without dump fees, and without mentioning a furniture hoist is rarely genuine. Always demand a fully inclusive, all-in quote with a clear deduction line for recoverable items.

3 tips to reduce your clearance bill

Consolidate valuable items in a single room to speed up the valuation.
Keep appliances plugged in: a running fridge can be resold, whereas an unplugged, moldy fridge becomes worthless waste.
Book your clearance during an off-peak window (mid-month, outside December): schedules are more flexible and lead times shorter.
