London Credit brings back auction product

An offer can be given before an auction takes place and loans are available from £100,000 to £3.5m on properties in London, the South East and major cities. 

London Credit lends up to 70 per cent loan to value (LTV) on terms up to 18 months. 

Marios Theophanous, credit manager at London Credit, said: “Buying a property at auction has become more popular as the move to online auctions as a result of Covid restrictions has actually opened up the market to more people.  

“We wanted to create a product that gives investors what they need – surety of funds at the outset.”
