Product FAQs:
Auction Finance in the UK operates as a type of bridging loan designed to facilitate speedy property purchases at auctions. Given that auction purchases usually mandate completion within 28 days, conventional property buying methods often cannot meet this timeline.
You may be able to obtain 100% auction finance, which covers the entire auction purchase price, provided you pledge extra security on another property. Keep in mind, most auction houses require an immediate 10% deposit once you win the auction.
Eligibility for Auction Finance is primarily based on the property’s value, rather than the buyer’s income or credit status. Hence, it can be secured even with poor or bad credit scores. It’s particularly useful for properties that are currently ineligible for a mortgage.
Prior to an unconditional auction, you need to have your financing ready as you’ll be required to immediately pay a 10% deposit (with a minimum for low-priced properties) if you become the successful bidder.
