Borrowing for auction

[Cassimin]

Was wondering if anyone has any advice.
my son is looking to buy a house at auction.
He has a deposit but no idea on how about obtaining a mortgage.
How does he guarantee a quick turnaround on a mortgage as he doesn’t want to buy a property then not have the money available to complete.

I can't advise on the mortgage question but just wanted to make sure your son realises that if he bids successfully on a house without his mortgage in place they will not only take his deposit money but he will lose the house when he is unable to complete.

Yes, that’s what we need to find out.
I bought from auction but had the cash so completed in a day.
Ive Also bought with a mortgage and it took ages.
I’m sure there must be a way to speed it up as I imagine not all auction properties are bought with cash?

Has he spoken to the auction house about what the standard practice is? It would also make sense to speak to a mortgage broker to see if they have experience in this area.
