How to buy a whole estate or house clearance
Buy a whole estate only after walking it in person — photos conceal condition, quantity, and the real percentage of saleable goods. Negotiate a fixed price for the entire lot after your inspection, never by room or by piece (the seller will cherry-pick). Arrange your own transport immediately: every day of delay costs storage and risks the seller changing terms or extracting pieces.
The Method's take
The Genuine-Find Law applies at maximum power: an intact estate where no professional eye has passed is the last margin-rich ground. But contamination happens fast — if the heirs "had someone look already" or "a dealer made an offer," that eye extracted knowledge and probably the best pieces. Arrive first, inspect everything (including attics, garages, drawers — value hides where laziness doesn't look), compute your Discipline Ceiling from total transport + time + unsold disposal cost, and pay only what leaves you margin after selling 30–40% of the lot. The rest finances the operation; profit comes from the 10% you studied into multipliers.
The math
Paying €10,000 for an estate "because it looks full" without calculating transport (€2,000–5,000), disposal of unsold goods (€1,000–3,000), and your time (weeks of work) has destroyed thousands of buyers who discovered their margin was negative. One estate misread costs more than thirty years of annual passes. The €100 24-hour dossier computes your real ceiling, flags hidden costs, and reads the seller's context — buying blind is not opportunity, it's expensive training.
