Bridging loans are flexible loans, with no early repayment charges, which provide a temporary funding solution whilst a longer-term exit strategy is achieved, such as securing a mortgage, liquidating investments, or selling a property. Commonly used to buy a new property before selling, purchasing at auction, managing temporary cash flow issues, raising funds quickly to meet a tight deadline, paying tax bills, or to flip properties without being locked into a mortgage. These loans are renowned for the speed in which they can be arranged, in some cases just a matter of days. Our bridging loan experts will help you secure the best deal available.
Bridging loans can be arranged much faster than traditional mortgages, with a less thorough underwriting process, which is crucial in time-sensitive transactions such as auctions.
A bridging loan can be used for almost any purpose, can be repaid early without penalty, and lenders will assist even if your credit history isn’t perfect.
Lenders allow the interest accrued to be added to the loan and repaid when the loan is redeemed, as opposed to making a monthly payment, meaning affordability checks aren’t required.
A bridging loan can be secured if someone in the chain has had their mortgage turned down, lost their buyer, or pulled out, making it possible to buy before selling.
In order to increase the value of a property, borrowers may use a bridging loan to flip, renovate, convert, extend, or buy an unmortgageable property.
Many people use bridging loans to meet tight deadlines and avoid black marks against their name, such as paying an urgent bill, easing company cash flow, repaying arrears, or preventing repossessions.
Our brokers can source funds from an extensive network consisting of over 300 lenders, including high street banks, private banks, building societies, specialist lenders, family offices, peer to peer lenders, and private equity firms. Our existing lender relationships are vast, varied and trusted.
Bridging loans can be used for almost any purpose. Typical uses of bridging loans include property refurbishment, the purchase of a new home while waiting for an existing property to sell, repaying tax bills, and cash flow assistance for individuals and businesses.
It varies from lender to lender, but generally speaking, bridging loans take 3-4 weeks to complete. It is possible, however, to arrange some bridging loans in as little as 48 hours, but the cost of securing funds that quickly is higher.
Yes, borrowers have the option to repay their bridging loan early, typically with no early repayment charges, providing flexibility and the potential to repay less interest should the loan be repaid earlier than anticipated.
Yes, many lenders will consider clients with adverse credit, but you may not be able to access those with the most attractive products. However, there will still be many options available.
A bridging loan exit strategy is your planned repayment method. Sale of a property, liquidation of shares or investments, or refinancing with a long-term facility such as a mortgage are the most common bridging loan exit strategies.
There are generally no monthly interest payments on bridging loans, so proof of income is not required. The interest is added to the debt and repaid when the loan is redeemed. However, if the monthly payment is affordable, and you can prove your income, you can choose to service the interest rather than add it to the loan.
Rates begin as low as 0.55% per month and lenders typically charge a 2% arrangement fee. There are also other fees that might need to be paid such as valuation fees and legal fees.
