Auction Finance

Auction Finance can work for you if you are:

• Looking to acquire or purchase a property at Auction
• Looking to make your money go further
• Want the time to increase your returns via new leases, ASTs or a light refurbishment before moving to senior debt or a BTL
• Need the time to achieve Planning Permission or Permitted Development Rights (PDR) to resell the property with an uplift or develop out yourself

Auction Finance could be the right solution for you

We understand the pressures and time constraints involved. Normally you exchange 10% deposit at Auction and then have up to 30 days or less to complete the remaining balance.

On receiving information on your Auction purchase or intended acquisition, we can assess the details of the purchase.

Once we confirm with you the estimated leverage you are looking for, going through a fact find and understanding your intended exit or plans for the purchase, we can present the transaction to lenders based our your required criteria and would look to achieve indicative terms to suit your requirements.

Our strong long term relationships with our lenders and our knowledge of the issues that can arise from a property at auction, helps us provide a fast, effective service, enabling us to assist you towards completing your purchase on time.

We can achieve up to 70% LTV (Loan To Value) of the purchase price with our lenders, sometimes higher depending on the purchase. On valuation, if the value comes in higher than the purchase price, we have had lenders willing to consider up to 85% LTV of the purchase price.

Century 10 Real Estate Finance can provide Auction Finance for both onshore and offshore structures. We can also provide terms for Expats and Foreign Purchasers. Normally they would already own property in the UK but they do not have to reside in the UK. We only effect introductions of customers who are limited companies, limited liability partnerships and other bodies corporate, and other partnerships with 4 or more partners.

Auction Finance tends to be relatively short term finance, usually between 3 to 24 months, but in some circumstances can be longer. Interest can either be serviced monthly or capitalised to the loan/deducted from the gross facility, or a combination of both.

Dependent on the borrowers purchase and circumstances, we have been able to arrange terms with or without PGs (Personal Guarantees) or CGs (Corporate Guarantees), and in most cases the PG or CG is limited.
