How can I get a mortgage on a property bought at auction?
I would like to look into buying a property at auction as I am a first time buyer, unable to get a foot on the housing ladder. After looking into various Goverment schemes, my only other option is shared ownership.
I would like to know the process of raising a mortgage for a property bought at auction.
I know that a 10% deposit is required on the day of the auction.
Is it a case of obtaining a mortgage in principle, purchasing the property and then applying for the mortgage after the sale?
I am assuming that no mortgage lender will lend money without there being a property in place to secure the loan on.
Any information on this would be appreciated
Many thanks
Get a mortgage offer before going to an auction. Make sure the lender is able to complete your application within three weeks of the sale. If you don’t have the moneyin your account in time to pay for the property you could lose your deposit.
Remember you have to complete within 28 days and don’t forget to factor in stamp duty if you purchase over £60,000.
Good luck.
