Think there’s something
valuable in your attic?
Too busy to look, or unsure what’s up there? I’ll help check your attic, photograph anything worth selling and handle the sale for an agreed fee. Your items can stay at home until they sell.

How it works
Tell me what you know, even if that’s very little. I’ll help you work out what’s worth selling and take care of the rest.
Find, photograph & agree
At the visit, I help check for items with resale potential and take photographs. Your belongings stay in your home. Before listing, we agree the selected items, prices, costs and commission in a simple written contract.
I take care of the selling
I research suitable finds, prepare listings and manage buyer enquiries through an agreed selling channel. You keep the items at home while I do the selling; any auction or specialist route needing an earlier move is discussed and agreed first.
Sold, transport arranged, paid
Once sold, I organise the agreed collection or transport at a time arranged with you. You receive a clear breakdown of the sale price, agreed costs and commission, with payment on the written timetable.

Hello,
I’m Neil.
OLD TUPTON, DERBYSHIREAn interest in collectibles. A friendly, local service. A fresh start for forgotten belongings.
I live in Old Tupton, near Chesterfield. I started Cash Attic for people who suspect there may be something worth selling in their attic but don’t know where to begin. I help discover suitable valuables and take care of the practical work of selling them.
Research, photography, listings and buyer messages all take time. I help with the practical work, explain the options and agree the costs with you before we begin.
You’ll deal directly with me, with visits arranged around evenings and weekends. I can photograph items at your home and leave them there while they’re listed. You choose what to sell, approve the terms and agree any collection or transport.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING
Good questions.
Do my items have to leave my house?+
No. I can check suitable items and photograph them at your home, then leave them with you while I research, list and sell them. There is no need to hand over belongings upfront. After a sale, I organise collection or transport as agreed with you. If a specialist or auction house needs an item beforehand, that is an option we discuss and approve separately.
What do we agree before selling?+
A simple written contract sets out the items you authorise me to sell, the selling approach and any minimum price, commission and agreed costs, the listing period, payment timing, and collection or transport arrangements. It also explains responsibilities for keeping items safe, any agreed handover, and how cancellations, buyer returns or unsold items are handled. You can review the terms before deciding to proceed. A selling price or successful sale cannot be guaranteed.
Do I need to get everything out of the loft first?+
No need to empty the loft before the first conversation. Send photos of anything safely accessible, or describe what you know is there. Any loft access is discussed and agreed beforehand; unsafe or unboarded areas won’t be entered. Please don’t climb or lift anything unsafe just to take a photo.
Is this a house clearance service?+
No. The focus is selected belongings with resale potential. We agree which items to handle; general rubbish removal and complete house clearances are outside the initial service.
What if my items aren’t worth selling?+
I’ll be straightforward if the likely value doesn’t justify the work and costs. A conversation or initial indication of value isn’t a guaranteed sale price or a formal valuation.
Can I set a minimum selling price?+
Yes. The selling approach, minimum prices where appropriate, and permission for reductions are agreed in writing before listing. You decide whether you want to proceed.
What happens if something doesn’t sell?+
Items listed from your home simply stay with you if they don’t sell. We agree a selling period and any revised price or alternative selling channel together. If you have separately agreed an auction or specialist handover, return arrangements and any associated costs are confirmed beforehand.
How and when will I be paid?+
Your agreement will set out the payment timetable, including allowance for buyer payments, applicable returns and auction settlement. You receive an itemised breakdown of each completed sale and agreed deductions.
