About to bid at an auction, or did you just win a lot?

bridging loan for farmhouse

While Ravenwood always recommends “doing your homework,” some auction properties come along with prices that are just too tempting. You have to decide then and there.

At Ravenwood, we are used to raising finance very quickly and have saved numerous people from defaulting on their auction purchases. One benefit of bridging loans is that we can release the money very quickly.

Depending on the individual case, we can raise funding on the purchased property or another property in your portfolio.

Even challenging cases that may involve:

  • Residential properties with sitting tenants
  • No functional or missing kitchen and bathroom
  • Uninhabitable or property in deplorable condition
  • Complex and unconventional leasehold property
  • Flying freehold property
  • Change of use scenario property
  • Semi-commercial property titles
  • Large multi-occupancy or licenced/unlicensed HMO
  • Property with modifications done without building regs or planning permission
  • Part-completed properties or property developments where the developer has gone bust
  • Developments without planning permission or with rejected planning applications
  • Fire-damaged property

Some of the most lucrative opportunities are often the riskiest and most difficult.
