If you’ve ever considered buying property at auction, you know the pace is relentless. The hammer falls, and you’re expected to settle—fast. There’s no room for delays or uncertainty.

Over the years, we’ve advised and assisted borrowers with auction purchases, helping them move quickly and confidently when opportunity knocks.
Secured Lending can help you move fast with a secured loan for auction purchases. Assess your scenario today.
Why Auction Purchases Demand Certainty and Speed
Auction purchases are unique. Once you win the bid, you’re legally committed to settle—often within 30 days, sometimes less. There’s no cooling-off period, and if you can’t settle on time, you risk losing your deposit or facing legal action. For many, traditional bank finance simply can’t keep up with these tight timelines. Banks can take weeks to approve and release funds, and their processes are rarely designed for urgent settlement.
A secured loan for auction purchases is structured to meet these demands. By leveraging your residential or commercial property as collateral, you can access the funds you need—often with same day settlement or funding within 24 hours. This certainty allows you to bid with confidence, knowing you have a clear path to settlement.
The Benefits of a Secured Loan for Auction Purchases
- Speed: With a secured loan, you can arrange funding within 24 hours. This is critical when you’re facing a tight settlement deadline.
- Certainty: You know exactly how much you can borrow before you bid, so you can set your limits and avoid overcommitting.
- Flexibility: Secured loans can be tailored to your needs—whether you’re buying a residential property, commercial asset, or even a development site.
- Leverage: By using your existing property as security, you can unlock capital without selling assets or disrupting your business.
- Simplicity: The process is straightforward. You provide details of your property, we review your scenario, and if it fits, we structure the loan and coordinate settlement—often on the same day.
Bridging Loans: A Key Tool for Auction Purchases
Many buyers use business bridging loan solutions to cover the gap between buying at auction and arranging long-term finance. For example, you might win a property at auction before your existing property has settled, or before your bank loan is finalised. A bridging loan gives you the breathing room to complete the purchase, then refinance or repay once your other funds come through.
Bridging loans are designed for short-term needs—typically three to twelve months. They’re secured against your property, and can be arranged quickly, making them ideal for urgent settlement scenarios. With Secured Lending, you can access bridging loans that are structured for speed and certainty, so you never have to walk away from a great opportunity.
Why Work with a Private Lender?
Traditional banks have their place, but when it comes to auction purchases, a Private Lender in Australia offers distinct advantages. As a non-bank commercial lender, Secured Lending operates nationwide—Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, Canberra—and we’re a non-bank lender. This means we’re not bound by the same rigid processes as banks. We can review your scenario, make decisions quickly, and arrange funding within 24 hours if needed.
Private lenders are outcome-focused. We look at the value of your security, your exit strategy, and your ability to settle. If the numbers stack up, we move fast. This approach is especially valuable for borrowers who need urgent settlement, have complex scenarios, or want to avoid the red tape of traditional finance.
