Default Investment Opportunity

To try and cut a long story short I bought a property at an Andrews and Robertson
auction for £174,000, putting down a deposit of £17,400. It is a 3-bed end of terrace house
located in South Norwood London, SE25 4LZ. Its on a quiet road, beside South Norwood Country Park,
with great transport links (South Norwood Station is 12 mins from London Bridge). It's got a 3 meter space
at the side on which an extension could be built. I didn't forsee and problems
getting a mortgage as I have savings of £55,000+. However, my credit report came up
blank so I could only get a residential mortgage, and not a buy to let. The bank
valuation was largely favourable but with time running out I was declined for the mortgage
because the property doesn't have a kitchen or bathroom (I planned to install a new kitchen
and bathroom, along with other work as needed - I'm a builder - and rent out the property, and sell in
a few years). As things stand I will lose the deposit plus other penalties if I don't come up with the
money. Therefore,I'm looking for someone to come up with the outstanding balance of approx £120,000,
with ownership and future profits to be split up accordingly.
