Clearing a house in Genk's mining garden districts
The garden districts of Winterslag, Waterschei and Zwartberg were built for the miners and their families. They are mostly semi-detached houses with a big garden, a shed and a cellar, and they are listed in Flanders' inventory of architectural heritage. A clearance there usually involves as much outside as inside: the shed, the garden and the cellar are rarely empty.
Include every outbuilding in the photos, so the fixed price covers it all. See cellar, attic and garage clearance.
An international city in Limburg
Genk is one of the most international cities in Belgium, with residents from dozens of nationalities, many with family abroad. When a house has to be cleared after a move, a sale or a death in the family, relatives often live far away and arrange everything by phone and photos.
That works well: send photos of every room, arrange the keys, and the clearance runs without you on site. The general approach is in what a house clearance is.
What does a house clearance in Genk cost?
The guide price for a whole home is €900 to €2,500, for one full space €250 to €600. A house with a full garden, shed and cellar sits higher than a flat with a lift.
You receive a fixed price from photos; the city's fee for the loading bay is paid to the city. See house clearance prices, and house clearance in Hasselt for the neighbouring city.
