Auction Finance

  • What is auction finance?

    Auction finance is a short-term bridging loan designed to help you complete a property purchase within the auction house’s 28-day deadline. Our facility can incorporate additional funds for light refurbishment, allowing you to enhance the asset’s value immediately

  • How quickly are funds released?

    Provided legals and valuation are in order, we can advance funds within 24–48 hours, ensuring you meet completion dates without delay

  • What level of borrowing is available?

    We lend up to 80 % Net Loan-to-Value (LTV), which typically covers both the winning bid and the cost of cosmetic or structural improvements.

  • Do I need to service monthly interest?

    No. We operate on a rolled-up or retained interest model: interest accrues and is settled upon sale or refinance, preserving your cashflow during the project

  • Are early repayment charges (ERCs) applied

    Only a three-month minimum term applies. After that, you may redeem the loan at any point without penalty

  • Who benefits most from auction finance?

    Property flippers acquiring below-market-value (BMV) assets.

    Buy-to-let landlords upgrading stock or converting to HMOs.

    Developers needing swift capital for value-add projects prior to resale or term finance

  • Which works qualify as “light refurbishment”?

    Typical eligible works include:

    Replacement kitchens or bathrooms

    Internal reconfigurations for better layout

    Rewiring, compliance, and safety upgrades

    HMO conversions for up to six occupants

  • What is the end-to-end process?

    Decision in Principle (DIP) – secure borrowing capacity before auction day.

    Bid with confidence – purchase the lot knowing finance is arranged.

    Complete in 28 days – we fast-track legal and valuation steps.

    Draw refurbishment funds – released in a single tranche or staged drawdowns.
