What does a clearance cost in Berlin?
The honest answer: it depends mostly on how much there is and how easy it is to get out. Here you can see how the price is made up, what is included and how to save.
A clearance in Berlin starts at €250, for example for a basement storage room. A normally furnished 2-room flat of about 60 m² usually comes to €1,080–1,380, a 3-room flat of about 85 m² to €1,530–1,950 and a detached house to €2,160–2,760 (ground floor or with a lift, VAT included). Travel, labour, dismantling, carrying, transport and disposal are included. The binding price follows photos or a free viewing, in writing and without extra charges.

Four ways to bring the price down
Give away what is still good
Whatever neighbours, friends or buyers collect themselves does not need to be carried and disposed of by us.
Send photos of every room
The better we can see the volume, the tighter the fixed price, without a safety margin for the unknown.
Book the lift and keep the entrance free
Every trip up the stairs costs time. Ask the property manager to reserve the lift, and keep the driveway clear.
Use the tax deduction
If you pay tax in Germany: for your own household, 20% of the labour costs come off your income tax (§ 35a EStG), up to a reduction of €4,000 a year. Pay by bank transfer, not cash.

Questions about prices
Are there hidden costs?
No. The written fixed price covers travel, labour, dismantling, transport and disposal for the agreed scope. Extras like final cleaning or a no-parking zone are listed with their price, and only if you want them.
Do I have to pay in advance?
No. The invoice is due after the work is finished, in cash or by bank transfer within 7 days.
Why no price per square metre?
Because floor area alone says little. A sparsely furnished 60 m² flat on the ground floor is cleared much faster than a full one on the fifth floor without a lift.
What is the smallest job?
Clearances and bulky waste collections start at €250, for example for a basement storage room.
