Finance checklist for every lot

1. Read the legal pack and special conditions, including the completion date and buyer's fees.
2. Send us the lot number so we can check it is acceptable to lenders (lease length, condition, construction, title).
3. Work out your maximum bid including the deposit, fees, stamp duty and finance costs.
4. Get a decision in principle and book the valuer for the day after the auction.
5. Agree the exit: the mortgage or sale that will repay the bridge.

Modern method of auction: many online auctions use a reservation fee and a longer period (often 56 days) to exchange and complete. Reservation fees are usually non-refundable, so check the terms.

Frequently asked questions

Important: Bridging and development finance are short-term, secured borrowing and can be expensive. You need a clear, realistic exit plan. Loans secured on a home you live in may be FCA-regulated; most others are not. Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
