A bridge loan is a short term finance option which can be made to an individual or company and secured against a residential or commercial property or plot of land.

Bridging finance is popular with landlords and property developers for funding short-term projects, and are becoming increasingly popular with home movers, as it can help you to buy a new property, whilst you are waiting to sell your existing home.

There are a number of potential benefits for clients including quick arrangement time, which can be within 24 hours, daily interest rate and no early repayment charges (on some schemes) – great if you only need to have the loan for a short amount of time.

No credit checks are required for bridging loans. However, lenders will require a completed application form, proof of address, a form of identification, and a copy of your building insurance schedule noting the lender’s interest, which we can arrange for you.

Bridging loans can be used for a number of reasons, such as refurbishing or converting a property. Bridging loans are also often used to help those looking to buy at auction where you have a short timeframe to exchange contracts. Chain breaking is another common use of bridging loans – you might have found a new property but haven’t been able to sell your current one yet. Bridging finance solutions allow you to take out a short-term loan on your current property and transfer your mortgage to the one you intend to purchase. Once you have sold your previous property you simply redeem the bridging loan.
