Bridging Loans

Seamlessly bridge financial gaps with short-term, flexible bridging loans

What are Bridging Loans?

A bridging loan is a short-term loan typically used to bridge a temporary financial gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing one. It provides immediate funds to facilitate the acquisition of a new property while awaiting the proceeds from the sale of the old one.

Here's how they work...

Property Purchase

Bridging loans are often used when a homeowner wishes to buy a new property but has not yet sold their existing one. It's a temporary solution to secure the new property before the sale is completed.

Short-Term Loan

These loans are short-term loans, usually with terms ranging from a few weeks to a few months. They are designed to provide fast access to funds to enable a seamless transition.

High-Interest Rates

Bridging loans typically come with higher interest rates compared to traditional mortgages because of their short-term nature and the relatively higher risk associated with them.

Security

The property being purchased or the property being sold (or both) is often used as collateral for the bridging loan, this also provides security for the lender or provider.

Exit Strategy

Borrowers are expected to have a clear exit strategy, which means they should have a plan in place to repay the bridging loan once their existing property is sold as swiftly as possible.

Not sure if a bridging loan is right for you?

Helping your transition between homes as smooth as possible

Bridging loans are a flexible financing option that can help homeowners and property investors secure a new property quickly. They are also used in scenarios such as property development or buying at auction, where funds are needed urgently.

However, they come with higher costs due to the short-term nature and are best suited for those who have a clear plan for repayment.

  I reached out to Chris on facebook after i stumbled on one of his reels, i wasn't expecting anything positive from Facebook as i had been previously turned down by two major Mortgage Advisers.
Natalie and Shirley took up my case and in a short while got me a high street lender despite the price of the property been raised by  20%.
They carried me along all through the process and i was never left in the dark.
I am a single parent , first time buyer and first time landlord.
They also helped me get the right Legal Advisers and Insurance.
I highly recommend their services.
Thank you Natalie and Shirley.

  We always thought buying our first house would be stressful, when we found this company through a few Facebook videos we thought we would enquire.  Rhiannon got in touch with us and she talked us through the whole process and sorted so much for us! I would not recommend anyone else she has been amazing and we can’t thank her enough.
