Surplus after an office move or downsize

A move or a downsize leaves furniture that was fit for purpose last month and surplus this month. It is usually in good condition, frequently in matched quantities, and almost always somebody's problem on top of their actual job.

The default outcome is a clearance company paid to remove it, which converts an asset into a cost. The difference between that and a sale is mostly whether anyone had time to find out what it was worth.

Why LotLoop, for this specifically

Matched sets keep their value

Forty identical desks are worth considerably more than forty desks. Listings state the matched quantity so buyers can plan a floor around it.

Timed around your handback date

Tell us when the premises must be clear and we will tell you plainly what is realistic in that window and what is not.

One point of contact

LotLoop catalogues, photographs and writes the listings. You approve them. You are not fielding enquiries from individuals asking whether you will split a set.

A record of what was disposed of

Useful when finance, auditors or a landlord later ask what happened to the assets and what they realised.

0% commission, permanently

The sale price is yours. The LotLoop fee sits on the buyer's side.

How it works

Submissions are private. A person reviews every listing before it publishes — nothing goes live automatically. Your business is checked against its Companies House record, and the result is shown on the listing so buyers know who they are dealing with.

Buyers purchase at a fixed price, make an offer or request an inspection. The buyer pays on the platform and LotLoop holds your transfer until collection or delivery has been verified, then releases it. It is not escrow and we do not call it that: it is a transfer that waits until the equipment has moved.
