LendInvest Partners with BidX1 to Enhance Access to Finance for Auction Buyers

London, 25 November – LendInvest Mortgages (LSE: LINV), a UK fintech platform dedicated to alternative lending, has announced a new partnership with digital property auction platform BidX1. The collaboration is designed to make it easier for BidX1 buyers to secure the finance they need to quickly and confidently, an essential factor in the auction market, where transactions typically need to be completed within 28 to 56 days.

Through the partnership, BidX1 buyers will be able to connect directly with LendInvest’s short-term lending team, gaining access to bridging finance that can cover both the purchase price and any refurbishment costs. Borrowers will also benefit from a clear exit route to the lender’s Buy-to-Let (BTL) products and access to development finance, helping them move smoothly from acquisition to longer-term ownership.

Leanne Ardron, Managing Director for Short-term Financing at LendInvest, said: “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.

LendInvest is uniquely positioned to meet this demand, offering swift access to crucial bridging finance. Our focus on technology and efficiency, including the use of AVMs and dual representation, enables our team to move quickly, ensuring property investors meet the critical 28-day completion window.

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.”

Stuart Collar-Brown, Head of Client Acquisition at BidX1 UK, said: “We’re really pleased to be partnering with LendInvest to enhance the speed and accessibility of finance across our auctions. At BidX1, we’re always focused on improving the buying and selling experience, and this collaboration gives our clients access to fast, competitive bridging finance, enabling more bidders to take part with confidence.

“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.”
