How auction finance works for Phillips Smith & Dunn lots
At a Phillips Smith & Dunn auction, the hammer is an exchange of contracts: you pay a deposit on the day and complete inside the catalogue deadline, often 28 days but sometimes shorter. A standard mortgage may not fit that timetable, which is why bidders consider auction finance or a bridging loan. Bring us the lot and catalogue before you bid so we can compare suitable routes and help you frame a supported ceiling.
If the lot is unmortgageable in its current state, a refurbishment or below-market-value buy, that is exactly what this finance is built for: the bridge funds the purchase now, you complete on time, then exit by refinancing onto a term mortgage or selling once works are done. We stress-test that exit first. We are a broker, not a lender, and we disclose every fee in writing before you commit.
