Bridging Finance

Business owners and individuals are often looking for ways to solve their short-term financing requirements, and a bridging loan can address this need. The UK bridging finance sector has grown dramatically in size over the last few years, and is now worth an estimated £4bn. Traditional banks are increasingly being joined by a new wave of lenders willing to offer this type of financial arrangement.

Bridging loans are usually offered for terms from one month to two years, and are typically in the form of a short-term mortgage secured against a residential or commercial property or land, on a 1st or 2nd charge basis. To secure bridging finance, a clear and viable exit plan is required, and we can help you put this in place.

Borrowers usually need to get access to bridging finance as speedily as possible, and it can be daunting and time-consuming to find the right loan without professional help. We provide a responsive service that offers practical and informed advice when it’s needed most. Our market insight, and understanding of the criteria that lenders apply, helps enable us to source the right deal for your business needs. As a mortgage is secured against your home or property, it could be repossessed if you do not keep up the mortgage repayments or any other debt secured on it.

A key consideration for lenders is “how will the loan be repaid”. You will need to demonstrate a clear plan of how and when the loan will be intended to be paid off. We have access to lenders that can complete facilities within 48 hours, so if speed is an important factor, we can certainly help. Some lenders will require the security item(s) valuing, however we also have access to lenders that will proceed without valuation. Acceptable customer types include: Sole Trader, Partnership, Limited Company (Ltd) or Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). Credit history is less of a concern when considering Bridging Finance, therefore clients with adverse credit can often be supported.
