A conditional house auction in the UK is a type of auction where potential buyers are required to submit an offer that is subject to certain conditions such as obtaining a mortgage or carrying out a survey. These offers are legally binding and if the seller accepts an offer the buyer must proceed to complete the purchase within the specified timeframe.

Occasionally, bridging loans may be needed in house auctions to cover the gap between the auction purchase price and the mortgage funds being released. The loan is typically secured against the property or another asset until the mortgage funds are released. This helps the buyer to purchase a property within the conditional terms and without having to use their own funds.

Each missed (or even partial) payment will be reported to credit reference agencies (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, and Crediva, etc.,) and remain on your credit report for six years, even if you subsequently catch up on missed payments or reach a repayment agreement with your lender.

A missed payment can lower your credit score by up to one hundred points or more, depending on the severity of the overdue payment and how recent it is. This can make it harder to access credit in the future, as lenders view a lower credit score as a sign of increased risk.

Additionally, a late mortgage payment can stay on your credit report for longer if it leads to repossession or a court judgment against you. It is important to make every effort to catch up on missed payments and avoid any further damage to your credit score.
