As spring cleaning fever hits, it is not just space that clearing out will free up, as a staggering amount of cash can be made from the clutter.

Recent research by Gumtree.com uncovers that the average UK household is hoarding a staggering £581 per person worth of unused but workable everyday possessions.  Two thirds of people (67%) admit to keeping common household items that they don’t need or use anymore whilst a further 20% confess to being full-scale hoarders.

However it is not always just for the sake of keeping memories that stops people from decluttering their homes; 12% of people don’t know how best to get rid of their items and others who’ve considered selling their clutter simply don’t know where to start in pricing their items (26%).

In the following video, he shares all of his top tips on how to declutter your home and earn some cash at the same time.
