Auction Purchase and Moderate Refurb in Devon

Catalyst recently provided auction finance for the purchase and refurbishment of a 2 bed terrace property.

The borrower bought the house with the intention to develop into a 5 bed HMO. This moderate refurbishment cost £102,000, including a loft conversion and extension. Due to the strict timelines with an auction purchase, we needed to work fast, but with our expert team and good communication throughout, we were able to complete the loan in just 18 days.
