After the death of a parent or family member, the home often needs to be vacated sooner than you\u2019d like. The rent keeps coming due, the notary wants to finalize the paperwork, or the house is being sold. And then the question arises: how much does that actually cost?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

In this article, you'll find estimated prices, what determines the price, how much it costs to do it yourself, and how to keep costs down.<\/p>\n\t\t

Short answer:<\/strong> With us, clearing out a studio starts at \u20ac300, a two-bedroom apartment at \u20ac600, and a townhouse at \u20ac800. The price depends on the size of the property and how full it is. These are estimated prices, excluding VAT, and include removal of the items and a certificate of removal for the notary. Need it done within 48 hours? Then there\u2019s an additional charge of 20%.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t
