Delivering Speed and Certainty for a Time-Sensitive Auction Purchase
The Challenge
Earlier this summer, a property investor approached us after experiencing delays with another lender. The client had secured a commercial property at auction consisting of eight individual units. However, issues with the original lender’s valuation process threatened the transaction, with the strict auction deadline looming.
Any delay in auction finance can be costly, not just in terms of losing the property but also forfeiting the deposit and incurring potential legal penalties.
Our Solution
Led by our Senior Property Broker, Kelly Moody, our team acted swiftly to salvage the transaction. We engaged with MS Lending Group, who were able to support the case on short notice. By opting for a desktop valuation, we eliminated the delays associated with physical inspections and met the auction’s tight completion schedule.
“This was a real team effort,” said Kelly Moody. “Auction timelines don’t leave much room for error, but thanks to MS Lending’s quick thinking and the client’s responsiveness, we delivered a great result.”
The deal was completed in just 11 working days, an impressive turnaround that ensured our client didn’t lose the asset or their deposit.
