Finance · Auction finance

Exchange is fixed.
The funding plan must be ready.

Short-term funding structured around auction deposits, fixed completion dates and the intended exit.

The Wentworth view

Auction finance starts before the hammer falls.

A winning bid creates a binding timetable, usually with a non-refundable deposit at risk. The legal pack, condition and exit should be reviewed as early as possible.

We coordinate lender, valuation and legal workstreams against the contractual completion date.

This service is limited to unregulated, business-purpose property finance.
