Auction Finance – Hankzarihs
If you’re looking to purchase a property at auction – perhaps to refurbish, or to acquire the land to build upon – then you may need finance to complete the transaction. Auction loans is a specialist type of lending product designed exactly for this purpose, and it has special features that borrowers need to know about. Read on to find out more.
What is Auction finance?
Auction finance, also sometimes known as a bridging loan, is a special type of short-term finance that can meet short turnaround deadlines. Auction purchases require a completion of up to 28 working days, therefore traditional long term finance is not suitable as it does not meet deadlines. With a short-term bridging loan or auction finance, you can buy residential or commercial property at auction and rapidly access the funds you need to purchase the asset and to complete the transaction.
How do auction property loans work?
The specific way that a lender will offer property auction finance in the UK will depend on their own terms and the offer. However, one of the key features of auction finance is speed. Providers of auction finance are so fast that customers can take out these products before an auction or even during an auction in order to guarantee the necessary funds.
At Hank Zarihs Associates, we rapidly work through our streamlined application process so that you can receive tailored and personalised offers within 20 minutes of providing your details to us and have your offer in principal ready and waiting before you even get to the auction house!
Once the auction finance loan has been funded the client will typically exit the loan with a long term mortgage , buy to let which will be used to redeem bridging loan.

Bid with confidence with auction finance
Auction finance providers are set up to provide rapid access to properties bought at auction. Because these kinds of deals aren’t generally available on the high street, the lenders of specialist auction property finance will also consider circumstances such as loans for ex-council properties, high-rises and even properties deemed to be uninhabitable (and otherwise ineligible for a mortgage.)
At Hank Zarihs Associates, our experienced and specialist pool of finance lenders will consider all kinds of auction finance applications and circumstances, and we package up our clients’ requests to provide all necessary information and to increase the chance of acceptance.

Bridging finance and auction properties
Our customers tend to have a number of questions about auction finance and similar types of short term bridging loan for property purchases. We always go above and beyond to provide as much information as possible, so that you can make a confident decision.
Is this type of short-term bridging finance right for me?
If you want to buy a property at auction – including residential and commercial – and you are not planning to buy with cash, then auction finance is a suitable loan product designed specifically for auctions. The short-term bridging loan is available very quickly, to a maximum of 75% LTV (loan to value).
Property auction loans can also be used to refurbish properties – say if you want to renovate the kitchen and bathroom before the sale, and – again – they provide short-term finance pending the eventual sale of the property or a switch to a longer-term mortgage.
It’s worth noting that, as a specialist product, you need to be certain of what you are taking on. Short-term bridging loans for property of any kind can be very expensive if you do not understand the terms and conditions, which is why we provide all necessary information to help our clients to make the right decision. Important features of auction finance to know include:
- Interest is charged monthly – from as little as 0.43% pm typical.
- Discounted arrangement fees from 1%
- Maximum loan terms of 24 months.
- Option to have interest fully or part-rolled up, or serviced.
