Doncaster Auction Centre clears houses across Doncaster and South Yorkshire, from a single room to a full property. Unlike a clearance-only firm, we run our own saleroom at Unit 21 Hutton Business Park, Carcroft, so items with resale value are sold in our auctions and the net proceeds are returned to you after commission.
How our auction-backed house clearance works
- Free initial consultation. Call 01302 722787 or send a message and we will arrange a convenient time to visit, assess the contents and give you an honest, no-obligation quote. Quotations are given in writing before any work starts and are valid for 30 days.
- Items assessed for value. Before anything is moved, we identify items suitable for auction or donation. Our specialist Chris personally assesses antiques and collectibles so nothing is overlooked or undersold.
- We clear the property. On the agreed day our team arrives fully equipped and clears the property. We supply the transport, labour and logistics.
- Sold at our next sale. Suitable items are entered into the next available auction. We hold two auctions most months, averaging 500 to 750 lots, with online bidding.
- Itemised returns. Lots are itemised with their hammer prices, and you receive the net proceeds after commission.
Do house clearances pay you?
They can. Because we are an auction house, anything with resale value from your clearance is sold in our own sales, and the net proceeds after commission are returned to you. In many cases, auction proceeds offset or completely cover the clearance cost.
How much does a house clearance cost in Doncaster?
Costs vary depending on the property, so we always visit first and give you a transparent written quote. The main factors are the size of the property, how much is in it, access to the rooms and outbuildings, and how many of the contents can be sold at auction.
Full and partial clearances
We clear entire properties from top to bottom (furniture, appliances, clothing and personal effects), or just a room or specific items if that is all you need. Whether you are downsizing, dealing with a bereavement or clearing a property for sale, our team handles everything carefully and efficiently.
Bereavement and probate clearances
We work sensitively with families, executors and solicitors, and can value the contents for probate before the property is cleared. See our probate valuations page.
What happens to items that don’t sell?
Items in good condition but unsuitable for auction are donated to local charities rather than going to landfill. Anything that cannot be sold or donated is disposed of responsibly.
