FAQs

How fast can you fund a UK auction completion within the 28-day window?

A standard UK auction contract requires completion 28 days after the hammer falls. We routinely fund inside this window: Decision in Principle within hours, valuation booked the next working day, and legal completion in 14 to 21 days. For pre-approved bidders we have completed in as little as 7 working days.

Can I get a Decision in Principle before the auction date?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. A Decision in Principle based on your profile and the catalogue properties you are targeting (valid 30 to 60 days) lets you bid with committed financing, removes the financing risk and gives you confidence on your maximum bid. There is no fee for the DIP.

Will you finance a property bought at a deep discount at a mortgagee-sale auction?

Yes. Mortgagee-sale or LPA-receiver auction lots often clear below market value, which actually makes the loan safer on a real-valuation basis. We lend up to 75% of the lower of purchase price or valuation. Many of our auction borrowers are repeat investors who use the model on every catalogue.

What happens if the auction valuation differs from the hammer price?

We size the loan as a percentage of the lower of purchase price or valuation. If your hammer price is below the surveyor's valuation, you usually benefit (more of the price is covered). If valuation comes in below the hammer price, we may reduce the loan or ask for additional security or cash to cover the gap.
