LendInvest Mortgages has announced a new partnership with digital property auction platform, BidX1.

The move will aim to help BidX1 buyers secure finance in the auction market, where transactions typically need to be completed within 28 to 56 days.

Through the partnership, BidX1 buyers can connect directly with LendInvest’s short-term lending team, gaining access to bridging finance that covers both the purchase price and any refurbishment costs.

Borrowers would also have a clear exit route to the lender’s buy-to-let products and access to development finance, helping them move from acquisition to longer-term ownership.

Managing director for short-term financing at LendInvest, Leane Ardron, commented: “This partnership with BidX1 is fundamentally about delivering certainty and speed in a compressed timeline. Auction deadlines are unforgiving, and property investors and developers need guaranteed funds fast.

“We are excited about the potential of this strategic partnership. It will reinforce LendInvest’s position as a leading specialist lender, driving significant growth for both businesses.”

Head of client acquisition at BidX1 UK, Stuart Collar-Brown, added: “By combining BidX1’s technology-led auction platform with LendInvest’s expertise in short-term property finance, we can help streamline transactions from listing to completion. The result is a smoother process for both buyers and sellers, reducing friction and helping unlock more successful sales.”
