Unlock Your Next Property Opportunity with Specialized Short-Term Finance
Are you missing out on property opportunities because traditional lending moves too slowly? Need quick capital for your next development project? Our bridging loans provide the rapid, flexible funding solution property developers need for efficient residential developments.
What is Bridging Finance?
Bridging finance, also known as a short term loan, serves as a vital short-term funding solution designed to “bridge the gap” between property transactions. When timing is critical, our specialized loans provide the capital you need—whether you’re purchasing before selling your existing property, securing auction properties, or funding essential renovations.
Unlike conventional mortgages that can take months to arrange, our bridging loans can be approved and funded within days, ensuring you never miss valuable property opportunities due to financing delays. Additionally, bridging finance can release funds quickly to meet urgent financial needs, providing immediate support for time-sensitive opportunities.
Key Advantages of Our Bridging Loans
- Rapid approval and funding – access capital in days, not months

- LLPs and partnerships

How Much Can You Borrow?
To determine how much you can borrow, we will assess your individual circumstances, including your credit history, income, and property value. We will also consider the purpose of the loan, whether it’s for a property purchase, refinancing, or other purposes. Our experienced underwriters will work with you to determine the maximum loan amount you can borrow, based on our lending criteria and your individual circumstances. We offer a range of bridging loan products, including regulated and unregulated bridging loans, to suit different client needs. Our bridging loans can be used for a variety of purposes, including property purchases, refinancing, and refurbishments. We are a reputable bridging loan lender, with a strong track record of providing flexible and competitive finance solutions to our clients.
Planning Your Exit Strategy
Every bridging loan requires a defined exit strategy—the method by which you’ll repay the loan at the end of the term. Ensuring that the loan is repaid is crucial to avoid financial complications. A successful deal, such as a property sale or refinancing, can be an integral part of your exit strategy. Common exit strategies include:
- Sale of property – particularly effective for development and refurbishment projects
- Refinance to long-term mortgage – ideal when improving a property’s value
- Sale of other assets – when liquidating investments or business assets
- Incoming funds – such as settlements, inheritance, or business proceeds
Our team will work with you to evaluate and strengthen your exit strategy, ensuring a smooth transition at the end of your bridging loan term.
Overcoming Adverse Credit Challenges
Traditional lenders often reject applications based solely on credit scoring. Our approach is different—we use a common sense method to assess each application on its individual merits. A credit check is part of the evaluation process, conducted only with the borrower’s permission, to ensure a comprehensive assessment.
We focus on:
- The quality and value of the security property
- The viability of your exit strategy
- The overall strength of your application
This means we can often assist borrowers with:
- Previous CCJs or defaults
- Historic bankruptcy or IVAs
- Missed mortgage payments
- Limited credit history

Customer Testimonials
“When our house sale fell through just weeks before completing on our dream home, we thought we’d lose it. The award winning bridging team arranged financing within days, saving our purchase and giving us time to sell our existing property without pressure.” — Michael & Sarah T., Residential Bridging Customers
“As a property developer, timing is everything. The commercial bridging loan I received enabled me to secure a prime retail unit at auction and complete the conversion to three luxury apartments. The flexible terms meant I could maximize profit without rushing the sale. The team was instrumental in getting the deal over the line.” — James L., Property Developer
“After being rejected by high street banks due to the property’s condition, I almost gave up on my renovation project. The bridging loan not only funded the purchase but also covered the refurbishment costs. Six months later, I refinanced to a standard mortgage at a significantly higher valuation.” — Rebecca D., Property Investor
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I receive bridging loan funds?Following approval, funds can typically be released within 5-14 working days, depending on the complexity of your case and how quickly the necessary documentation can be processed. Our short term loans are designed to meet urgent funding needs, ensuring quick processing times to help you meet tight deadlines.
What is the maximum loan-to-value (LTV) available?We offer up to 75% LTV on residential properties, 70% on commercial properties, and up to 65% for land with planning permission. Higher LTVs may be available in certain circumstances.
Can I repay my bridging loan early?Yes, most of our bridging products allow early repayment without penalties, offering you complete flexibility if your circumstances change or your exit strategy completes ahead of schedule.
Do I need to make monthly payments?While monthly interest payment options are available, many clients choose to “roll up” the interest for the duration of the loan, with all interest paid when the loan is redeemed. This improves cash flow during your project.
What types of properties do you accept as security?We consider a wide range of properties including residential, commercial, mixed-use, and land with planning permission. We can also consider non-standard construction types that many lenders avoid.
Are buy-to-let mortgages relevant to bridging finance?Yes, buy-to-let mortgages are highly relevant to bridging finance, especially for property investors. These financial products are designed to help landlords and investors manage their properties and overcome financial challenges. Bridging finance can provide the necessary funds quickly, allowing you to secure investment properties and transition to a buy-to-let mortgage seamlessly.
