Precise, part of OSB Group, has helped a professional landlord secure a £550,000 auction purchase in South West London, completing just three days after receiving the application.

Davey Gurm, specialist finance account manager – bridging at Precise, worked alongside broker Yehuda Waldman, director at MoneyScore, to structure a 75% loan-to-value (LTV) bridging loan on a serviced repayment basis for the purchase of the three-bedroom terraced property, enabling the borrower to meet the auction house’s 28-day completion deadline.

An automated valuation model (AVM) was used as part of the application process, with the property receiving an estimated value of £640,000.

Alan Kimber (pictured), head of bridging at Precise, said: “Auction purchases often come with tight deadlines, so it’s important that brokers and borrowers can access funding quickly when opportunities arise.

“We were able to structure a solution that met the customer’s requirements and helped the borrower secure the property ahead of their planned refinance onto buy to let finance.”

Yehuda Waldman, director at MoneyScore, said: “Our client was working to a fixed auction deadline and needed certainty that they could complete on time.
