About Rapideal

Rapideal is a UK property auction platform for sellers whose properties are unlikely to move on the traditional market. The company was founded in 2026. It operates a 7-day sealed-bid auction with a 60-minute sprint final.

Rapideal is currently pre-launch with test users only. The platform is not yet transacting real money. The company is registered in England and Wales (company number [pending], VAT number [pending]).

What we do

Each property goes through a 7-day sealed-bid auction. Buyers compete in four financial types: cash, vendor finance, bridging, and joint venture. Sellers pay a £500 refundable deposit on accepted offers. Buyers pay a 1.5% completion fee on completion. The platform does not handle conveyancing — solicitors handle that off-platform.

Why we exist

The UK has an undersupply of specialist property auctions for unmortgageable stock. Probate sales, chain breaks, divorces — these properties often don't qualify for a mortgage from a high-street lender, which excludes the largest pool of traditional buyers. Rapideal exists to connect these sellers with the specialist buyer pool (cash, vendor finance, bridging, JV) that does serve this market.
