Urgent Funding for an Auction Property Purchase

Our client attended a property auction just before the Covid-19 lockdown, and had agreed to purchase a studio flat in Didsbury, Manchester for £85,000. The client came to Lowry Capital, via his financial broker, on 2nd April 2020, after lockdown measures had been put in place.

The client required £51,000 to complete the purchase. Failure to pay for the property, in full, by the auction house deadline, would result in the client not only losing the property, but also the deposit he had already committed to the purchase – as well as being in breach of contract with other potential financial liabilities.

Lowry Capital arranged a safe way to get property valued, whilst respecting social distancing rules (as the property was occupied by the current tenant at point of purchase).

The Lowry Capital team also completed all legal requirements and signing of documents via Internet video calling.
