About Homefront Auctions
Swansea Auction & Consignment Service
Your Trusted Ally for Effortless Selling.
Our unique approach combines the trusted, personal service of a traditional auction house with the efficiency and global reach of modern technology.
Our Swansea Auction Story
Founded in Three Crosses, Swansea, Homefront Auctions was born from a spirit of resourcefulness. We saw that many people had valuable items but lacked the time, technical skills, or expertise to unlock their potential.
Our mission is to be your trusted partner in this effort. We handle every step, from a free valuation to a secure payout, making us the go-to choice for consignment selling in Swansea and Gower. We are proud to be a local business committed to serving our community with integrity and professionalism.
Frequently Asked Questions
We specialise in unlocking the value from a wide range of items. Our “Smart Triage System” ensures that every item is sold in the market that’s right for it. High-value antiques and collectibles are placed in our Premier Global Auctions, quality modern goods are sold on major online marketplaces like eBay, and all other items are expertly lotted for trade buyers. This ensures the best possible return for the entire contents of a home.
The simple answer is: we achieve better results with zero stress for you. Our service is designed for those who value their time and want to ensure their items achieve their true market value. We handle everything: professional photography, expert research and cataloguing, marketing to a global database of buyers, secure payment processing, and shipping. You get the benefit of our expertise and infrastructure, without any of the hassle.
Our professional office and secure processing hub is conveniently located at Swansea Airport. You are welcome to schedule an appointment to drop off your items with us. For larger collections or full house clearances, we can arrange a convenient and professional collection service from your property.
The pricing of consigned items is typically a collaborative process between HomeFront Auctions and the you. Factors such as the item’s condition, market value, brand, and demand are taken into account when determining the price.
Following a successful sale, you will receive a detailed settlement report outlining the hammer price for each of your items and a breakdown of the commission. Payment is made promptly and securely, directly into your nominated bank account.
The time it takes to sell consigned items can vary depending on factors like the demand for the item, pricing, and market conditions. Some items may sell quickly, while others may take longer to find the right buyer.
HomeFront Auctions have measures in place to ensure the safety and security of your items. This may include proper storage, insurance coverage, and security protocols to protect against loss, damage, or theft.
We understand that circumstances can change. However, once you have consigned an item and it has been entered into our system, we immediately begin to invest significant time and resources into preparing it for sale. This includes professional photography, in-depth research, expert cataloguing, and marketing the item to our global network of buyers.
For this reason, if you decide to withdraw an item before the auction catalogue is published, a withdrawal fee will be charged. This fee is calculated as 20% of the low auction estimate for the item, plus VAT. This covers the costs incurred in the work we have already completed.
Please note that for the fairness of all bidders and the integrity of the sale, items cannot be withdrawn for any reason once the auction catalogue has been published online and is open for bidding.
The HomeFront Auctions team will review your items accordingly and let you know if there are any unforeseen reasons we cannot accept your item.
Common sense usually prevails in these circumstances.
