Funding a Manchester auction purchase

Auction completion in Manchester runs to the catalogue deadline, typically 28 days from the fall of the hammer, so the money has to be lined up before you bid. We arrange auction finance and bridging loans against Manchester property, with an indicative offer inside 24 hours, then drive the valuer and solicitors so you complete on time. If the lot needs work, the bridge funds the purchase and the refurbishment, and we map the exit, a refinance onto a term mortgage or a sale, before you commit.

For the wider Manchester finance picture across bridging, development, commercial and buy-to-let, see property finance in Manchester.
