The auctions engine runs on top of this. When a property here clears FC vetting, it can be promoted to a Rapideal auction with deposit-hold.

How a Rapideal auction runs

STEP 01

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.

STEP 02

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.

STEP 03

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.

STEP 04

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.
