What is Auction Finance and How Does It Work?

Flexible Auction Finance for Any Property Type

Options to Secure Your Auction Investment

Once you’ve successfully bought a property at auction, you’ll have up to 12 months to repay your auction finance. You can either sell the property or refinance it with a long-term mortgage, ensuring financial flexibility. At Auction Finance, we can help with this process, offering tailored refinancing options to suit your investment goals.

Buy-to-Let Mortgages

Ideal for residential investment properties, enabling you to secure long-term finance while generating rental income.

Less Competition

With fewer buyers than in traditional sales, you’ll have a better chance of securing the property you want.

Commercial Mortgages

Designed for semi-commercial, commercial properties, or land purchases, helping you transition to long-term ownership.

Transparency in Bidding

You can see and respond to bids in real time, giving you full control over your auction strategy.

Maximise Auction Opportunities

Auction properties often sell for up to 30% less than through estate agents, making them great for bargain hunters and investors.

Flexible Bidding Methods

Bid by proxy, phone, or online—ensuring you can participate, no matter your circumstances.

Diverse Financing Options for Every Investor

At Auction Finance, we offer a range of flexible financing options designed to suit various property investments. Our auction finance solutions allow you to leverage up to 85% Loan-to-Value (LTV), with interest rates starting from just 0.43% per month. We consider first, second, and third charges, providing terms from 1 to 36 months, ensuring you have the right support for your investment. Our completion timescale is swift, ranging from 5 days to 3 weeks, so you can act quickly when opportunity knocks.
