Understanding bridging auction finance

Purchasing properties at auctions is an enticing way to secure deals for property investors in the UK. In January 2024, property auctions saw a 45% increase in the number of lots offered when compared to January 2023. This means an increase in the number of options available to property investors.

However, winning a property auction also comes with a tight payment deadline. Once an auction is completed and the property is won, the successful bidder only has a short timeframe – typically 28 days – to complete the purchase by paying the remaining balance. This is where a bridging loan for financing an auction purchase is incredibly beneficial, and KSEYE specialise in this kind of loan.

What is bridging auction finance?

Bridging loans are short-term loans designed to help buyers secure funds quickly, making them ideal to meet the payment deadline for auction purchases. Properties at auctions range are diverse, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use assets. They are an increasingly popular way to acquire property, with properties on average selling between 85% to 90% of their market value at auctions, giving savvy investors an opportunity to acquire properties at lower prices.
