Terraced houses in Kortrijk and its sub-municipalities
Kortrijk, Heule, Marke and Bissegem are full of terraced houses. In a clearance that means one route out: through the front door and a narrow hallway. Large wardrobes and beds are dismantled before they go, and the attic, often reached by a drop-down ladder, takes the most time.
Ask for the free signs in time and place them a day ahead, so the truck stands right at the door. The cellar, attic and garage clearance page covers the attic in detail.
Close to the French border
Kortrijk lies a few kilometres from the French border and the Lille metropolitan area, and some owners of Kortrijk property live on the French side or further abroad. A clearance from a distance works with photos, a fixed price and a key handover; you do not need to be there on the day.
For the sale of a house, the property must be empty and broom-clean at the deed; see the broom-clean handover.
What does a house clearance in Kortrijk cost?
The guide price is €900 to €2,500 for a whole home and €250 to €600 for one full space. A narrow terraced house with a full attic sits towards the top of the range for its size, because of the stairs and the hallway.
You receive a fixed price in advance from photos; see house clearance prices. Further north, see house clearance in Roeselare.
