Common questions about Bridging Loans

What is an unregulated bridging loan?

An unregulated bridging loan is a short-term form of finance that can be used to purchase residential or commercial property, typically for up to 12 months. You’ll need an exit plan to pay the loan back in full at the end of the term, which can be funds from a recently sold property or arranged longer term finance.

How much can I borrow, and how much deposit will I need?

We can lend up to 75% of your property’s value. However, please note that the maximum loan-to-value ratio we can offer might be adjusted depending on the nature of the property.

How do you decide my interest rate?

The rate you're offered may be influenced by several factors, including:

  • What you're using the bridging loan for.
  • The type and value of the property you're using to secure the loan.
  • How much you need to borrow (both in total, and as a percentage of your property's value).
  • Whether you have any other loans secured against the property, that won't be repaid by this loan.
  • Your credit history (but not your credit score).

How long does a bridging loan take to arrange?

We’ve got decades of experience in getting bridging cases over the line quickly – and much faster than a typical fixed-term loan or mortgage. This means a bridging loan could get you the cash you need while waiting for longer-term borrowing to be arranged in as little as 24 hours*.

*Completions within 24 hours are subject to the acceptance of all required legal documentation.

Why might you choose a bridging loan?

A bridging loan can help if you need funding quickly to buy a property before selling another, purchase at auction, or carry out works ahead of refinancing or sale. It’s a short term solution designed to bridge a temporary gap, with interest only payments and a clear plan to repay, usually through sale or a move to longer term finance.
