Why Choose Us?

When it comes to selling your valuables, antiques, or collections, you have options. But not all auction services are created equal.

At Instant Auctions, we’ve reimagined the process to make it faster, simpler, and more profitable for sellers.

1: Speed That no one else can match

With traditional auctions, you could be waiting weeks just for your items to be entered into a sale, and then several more weeks before you receive your payment.
We cut that wait time to hours.

  • Same-Day Auctions – We come to your property, list your items instantly, and conduct the auction there and then.
  • Immediate Payment – Once the auction ends, you get paid straight away.
2: We come to you

No packing, no shipping, no transporting your items to a saleroom.
Our experienced auctioneers bring the auction to your home or business, anywhere in the UK and Scotland.

  • Your items never leave your sight until they’re sold.
  • We handle photography, cataloguing, and lotting on-site.
3: thousands of active buyers

We’ve built a network of verified, eager buyers who are ready to bid the moment your auction goes live.

  • Buyers know our auctions run for a limited time, creating urgency.
  • This urgency drives more competitive bidding and higher final prices for you.
4: Low transparent fees

Forget paying 25–34% commission plus lotting and photography fees.
With us, it’s simple:

  • Flat 10% Commission – Taken from the final selling price.
  • No Hidden Charges – No lotting fees, no photography fees, no withdrawal fees.
5: professional experienced valuers

Our valuers and auctioneers bring years of expertise across multiple categories, from fine art and jewellery to antiques, furniture, collectibles, and more.

  • Accurate, market-driven valuations
  • Professional item descriptions and photography
  • Knowledge to position your items for maximum return
6: Complete convenience

From the moment you book to the moment you get paid, you don’t lift a finger.

  • We handle all marketing and buyer notifications.
  • We remove sold items immediately after the auction.
  • We store them securely until the buyer arranges collection or delivery.
7: proven results

Our auctions regularly achieve strong hammer prices thanks to competitive bidding and our expansive buyer network. Sellers repeatedly tell us they made  more than they expected — and got their money faster than they thought possible.
