It’s essential to have your finances in place before purchasing a property at auction to ensure you can complete within the short timescale. Having the funds readily available provides you with confidence when bidding. It also prevents the risk of you losing your deposit and incurring huge fees if you fail to complete on the purchase.
Bridging finance is an ideal way to finance your auction purchase. It’s quick to secure, convenient, gives you fast access to funds and provides you with flexibility when purchasing at auction.
Why use bridging finance?
You more than likely need a mortgage to fund your purchase but this can take a while to finalise. Auction purchases, on the other hand, usually require completion within 28 days. Even when you’ve done everything to ensure a quick mortgage process, including securing a mortgage offer and having a valuation carried out in advance, there’s always the risk of unexpected delays. With bridging finance, you have the funds ready to use when you enter the auction house. This short-term loan lets you secure your purchase and bridge the gap while your longer-term finance is finalised.
When you haven’t found your preferred longer-term finance before attending the auction, bridging finance gives you a bit more breathing space to look for this. A bridging loan also enables you to purchase a property that needs renovation works to be carried out before you can secure a mortgage. Once the property meets the required standards, you can then switch from your bridging loan to your longer-term finance.
Fast access to funds
Unlike a traditional mortgage, bridging finance is quick to process. Our bridging finance brokers have developed excellent relationships with lenders and know which ones offer bridging loans for auction purchases. These lenders are used to handling fast loan applications to suit the short auction timescales. Our expert brokers can quickly sift through the lenders’ competitive rates and terms. This ensures they find the best bridging finance to suit your needs.
