Auction Bridging Loan

QUICK & SIMPLE FUNDING

Properties won at auction are required to pay a 10% deposit on the day and signing of a legally binding contract to pay the remaining 90% within 28 days this makes bridging finance the go to for securing auction property purchases. Bridging loans come into their own in time constrained property purchase and are ideal for bridging the gap until a longer-term property finance or sale can be achieved. Bridging loans at auction are available for Commercial and semi-commercial buildings, Land, Residential and buy to let properties.

Key points

  • To make the process run smoothly you can pre-agree your auction bridging loan by having an agreement in principle with the bridging loan lender. This way when the bid is won you are already a step ahead in moving the process forward which will help with speeding up with completion.
  • Bridging loans unlike mortgages do not require as detailed investigation into your employment position or business plan subject to your planned exit from the bridging loan. This makes a bridging loan that bit quicker, this is all dependent on the proposed exit strategy from the facility.
  • Specialist bridging loan lenders will consider property that high street lenders may not for example: property that is of a non-standard construction, property that does not have fully operating bathrooms and kitchens and properties that need a good refurbishment job.
  • Bridging loans from specialist lenders can give you the opportunity to secure, restore and sell or refinance previously unloved property. Specialist bridging loan lenders can help you secure property that is commercial and convert it into residential which you can then either sell or refinance.
  • Bridging loans are usually available for up to 18 months and some lenders offer a ‘bridge to let’ element within their facility.
  • Usually, a maximum of 75% of the properties value can be borrowed. If you own other property and require additional funding for your bridging loan you can potentially achieve more funds and a better rate by using the additional property as additional security for your bridging loan.

What you must do prior to bidding on auction property

  • Auction property generally needs work doing to it, make sure you view the property with professionals to assess what work needs to be carried out and if the purchase/project will be profitable or even viable for you.
  • Make sure that the auction funding you require is available to you.
  • Ensure there is no issues with the property you wish to purchase and carry out legal searches to see if there are any restrictive covenants – this will most likely come at a cost but it is better to be safe and make sure you have carried out your own due diligence.

Important Notes

It is advisable to get the property valued and the bridging finance agreed prior to the auction. Yes you could lose out on the property and lose the valuation money, however, if you tried to do this the other way around and pay your 10% deposit and are unable to finance the remaining 90% then you could potentially lose all of that money.

In rare circumstances where bridging loans cannot be used to secure the auction property, other property you or someone willing to help owns can assist with the initial purchase. If you require the 10% deposit this can also be raised secured against other property.

The exit route for bridging finance is usually sale or refinance and will prove to be key to the lender as they will need to be confident either one is suitable.
