Furniture

There’s no denying it, furnishing a home can be expensive. Replacing worn sofas, tables and chairs can set you back hundreds or even thousands when buying new. By comparison, used furniture is much cheaper.

Auction houses don’t just sell pricey antique furniture; our catalogues are often full of modern furnishings, including sofas, beds, chairs, tables, dressers, drawers and much more.

It’s easy to find bargain furniture at auction. If you’re looking for high-quality used furniture, you can snap this up for a fraction of what it would cost in a shop. If you’re happy to take on an upcycling project, you can get furniture at auction that needs a little TLC for next to nothing.

There are all kinds of styles and pieces to choose from. You can browse furniture in our upcoming lots here. If something takes your fancy, you can register to bid live from the comfort of your home.

Electrical appliances

When an electrical appliance breaks unexpectedly, it brings unexpected costs that many people these days would struggle with. A simple solution is to find a second-hand replacement, but it’s not always easy to find precisely what you need at the right price.

Auctions might not be the first place you think of turning to when sourcing second-hand electrical appliances, but you can find a wide variety of appliances there. Items such as washing machines, tumble dryers or fridges, home entertainment systems, televisions, lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, and much more can be found at auction! We’re pretty sure that, whatever household electrical appliance you’re looking for, you can find it in our upcoming lots. Use the search bar to type in what you’re after and browse the lots from different auctioneers.

Soft furnishings

You probably wouldn’t even think of shopping for soft furnishings at auction unless you were looking for antique or designer items. However, our auction catalogues are full of everyday soft furnishing items. You can find rugs, curtains, cushions, and more – many of which carry no estimate and can usually be snapped up for a bargain price.

Soft furnishings don’t come cheap when buying new, and the cost can quickly add up when you need multiple items. Buying at auction is an excellent way to keep costs down, and you can find all sorts of styles, designs, and fabrics.
