How a Rapideal auction runs
Seller lists
FC-vetted seller creates a draft listing with photos, floor price, and a 7-day auction window. The 48-hour deposit-hold kicks in only on accepted bids.
7-day blind bidding
Buyers bid by financial type (cash, bridging, vendor finance, JV). Highest sealed bid per type wins. No one sees the others' offers until close.
Final 60-minute sprint
In the last hour of the auction, any new bid extends the close by 60 seconds. eBay-style anti-snipe. Sprint ends only when no one bids for 60s straight.
Deposit + close
Winning bid triggers a £500 refundable deposit held in escrow for 48 hours. After the seller accepts, the deposit transitions to a completion fund.
Sellers must clear our FC gate
Every seller is verified against Companies House before they can publish. Sole traders and unverified entities cannot list credit-pool financial types (vendor finance, bridging, JV). Verification refreshes every 7 days.
