Why auction purchases need speed
Auction contracts often require a deposit immediately and completion within a fixed period. That can make standard mortgage timing difficult.
A bridging lender may review the property, purchase price, valuation, borrower contribution, legal pack and exit route.
Documents that help
Useful documents include auction pack, property address, purchase price, deposit evidence, valuation, borrower details, legal position and exit plan.
If works are planned, costings and timescale should be clear before completion.
Exit route
Common exits include sale, refinance to a commercial mortgage, refurbishment completion or another agreed refinance route. The exit should be realistic before the bridge starts.
