Buying Properties at Auction for Renovation

Many properties that make their way into auction may be lender repossessions or distress sale and as such they can be defective in some way. Defects may include inadequate facilities, suffering dampness, lack reasonably modern facilities, or have defective electrical and central heating systems. Some properties might be safe and fit to live in but are just not of a competitive standard suitable for the local rental market. Traditional lenders, high-street banks and Buy to Let lenders, are unable to lend without retention when the property is not in an immediately habitable and lettable condition. This, of course, limits the number of potential buyers down and with it the resale value, providing a good opportunity for property professionals to capitalise. Investors would typically be limited to cash buyers, those who can fund all the purchase costs and renovation without needing a mortgage.
