Bridging Finance Typical Uses

Bridging loans are short term secured loans for time periods of anything from weeks to up to 2 years, with very variable terms depending on duration, loan to value and other factors, with higher interest rates that mortgages.

They are typically used to ‘bridge’ the gap in finance until long term finance can be arranged on better terms. Common underlying reasons for utilising bridging finance include :-

• Buying a property at auction

• Property development

• Covering a break in a property chain

• Refurbishing a property before sale

• Lease extensions - if you discover that you need to extend your long residential lease in order to sell, a bridging loan may be an option.

We act for both borrowers and lenders, so we understand the approach that needs to be taken from both sides of the equation.
