Auction Bridging Loans

Auction Bridging Loans are specialized short-term loans intended to help property buyers complete purchases won at auction, where timelines are tight. In property auctions, the winning bidder typically must pay a 10% deposit immediately and settle the remaining balance within a few weeks. Our auction bridging finance is designed to provide the necessary funds quickly – from $1M and up – so you can meet the auction payment deadlines. With swift approvals (often pre-approved before the auction date), high leverage on the property's value, and flexible exit terms, our bridging loans ensure you don't miss out on auction opportunities due to financing constraints.

At a Singapore mortgagee or court auction, the winning bidder pays a 10% deposit on the fall of the hammer and must complete the balance 90% within 8 to 12 weeks (the exact window varies by auctioneer). Banks usually cannot move that fast. We can issue a term sheet within 24 hours and fund the balance, so you complete on time and do not lose the deposit.
Yes. Mortgagee sales (where the bank takes back and sells the property) often go below market value, which actually makes the loan safer on a real-valuation basis. We lend up to 70% of the lower of purchase price or valuation, often within 10 days. Many of our case studies are auction fire-sale purchases where private financing was the only realistic option.
Yes, and we recommend it. An indicative term sheet before auction day confirms your maximum bid with committed financing, removes the financing risk and lets you bid with confidence. We can issue a pre-approval based on your profile and the catalogue properties you are targeting. The pre-approval is valid for 30 to 60 days.
For pre-approved buyers we can release funds within 7 to 10 working days of the auction once the SPA is signed, valuation is in and legal completion is confirmed. For very tight deadlines (under 14 days from hammer to completion) we work with your conveyancer from day one to keep the timeline on track.
Yes. Rikvin Capital can review Singapore auction bridge loan scenarios for acquisitions, refinancing, equity release and time-sensitive completions, provided the asset, borrower profile and exit route are clear.
A useful first note includes the asset address, estimated value, requested loan amount, existing debt position, borrower background, intended use of funds, target timeline and proposed exit. This lets the team assess fit quickly before requesting deeper documents.
Where the asset, amount and exit are clear, indicative terms can usually be reviewed within 24 hours. Completion timing depends on a Singapore valuation, legal review, KYC and how quickly supporting information is provided.
Yes. Depending on the facility structure, interest may be serviced monthly or rolled up and paid at redemption. Rolled-up interest can be useful when cash flow is tied up until a sale, refinance or liquidity event completes.
Common exits include sale of the secured asset, refinance with a bank or private bank, incoming investment proceeds, business liquidity events or repayment from another confirmed funding source. The clearer the exit, the easier it is to structure terms.
