Auction Finance
What is Auction Finance?
Auction finance is a specialised type of short-term funding that is used to quickly secure a property purchased at an auction. Auctions are events where properties are put up for sale, often with the expectation of a fast transaction. Auction finance is designed to provide buyers with the necessary funds within a tight timeframe, usually 28 days, to complete the purchase of a property won at auction.

Auction finance can have higher costs compared to traditional mortgages due to its short-term and fast processing nature. Buyers should be aware of interest rates, fees, and other associated costs.
While auction finance can be used for various types of properties, not all lenders provide it for every property. Buyers should inquire with their mortgage adviser about the types of properties eligible for auction finance.
Buyers need a clear plan for repaying auction finance. This could involve obtaining a longer-term mortgage, selling the property, or using other means of repayment within the short loan term.
