If you were offered £10k for your furniture..
Would you accept it? - House on the market, possibility of an offer for contents, would mean we just go with 2 suitcases and the dogs.... scary! - how much to re-furnish a house.... would save us £3.5k in container fees too... nightmare!

Make a list of your furniture and how much it would cost to replace it - then decide if £10k is a good deal for you.

We would send personal things by boxes - plus we would save the shipping costs for the container!

If some one made me an offer of 10k for my contents they could have the lot with bells on..
If you do accept then it may pay to sell them by separate negotiation... you don't want to pay your estate agent more in commission if things are included in the sale price of the house..

I think I'm gonna have to pay some one £10k to take my stuff away ! Take the money and run, I have read on here you can refurnish a house for about £3k over there for middle of the range stuff, so I recon you could replace for less than £10k and save the money on the container.
Who's to say your old stuff will suit your new hose anyway.
take it easy

I would grab the money and head for the Aussie shops! I am hoping that we will get an offer for our contents too! Not taking much at all from our 4 bedroom house, only enough for 1/2 a 20ft container.Enjoy all of that shopping and fitting out your lovely new house. Be like winning the lottery....ish

Sell them the furniture for the price of the house then sell them the house for 10K, that way the agent only gets commission on 10K

Take the money and run. If you convert that roughly to Aus$$ then that works out to about 25k just for the furniture. Then there is the saving of another 8k for shipping. With $33000 in your pocket you can furnish a home quite nicely. If we could do it all again we would have left everything except a few personal items and come with cash.
