    you need to pay a deposit at the fall of the hammer, usually 10% then complete within 28 days. You can arrange finance beforehand but may have to pay a valuation fee which you will lose if you do not get the property.

    It can be done though, as there are some lenders that can get the offer out very quickly, providing the property is suitable security.

    Big risk but can be done.

    Never forget a legal conveyance must be done to protect the lenders interests - this is one area which can cause delays or declines.
