Why choose Together?

No Early Repayment Fees

We don't think it's fair to punish you for repaying early - so the sooner you repay your bridging loan, the less it’ll cost you.

We understand every situation is unique

Here's the story of Bethany and Ben, two new customers we helped recently.

Bethany and her husband Ben left their office jobs in 2018 to set up a company of their own, which is now thriving. Last year they decided to sell their home and purchase a new build in their home town.

However, with the buyers of their existing property stuck in a chain, Bethany and Ben risked losing out on their dream home when trying to find a mortgage for moving home. Despite their perfect credit histories, their bank wouldn’t help as both Bethany and Ben are self-employed.

So Bethany and Ben came to Together, and we gave them a short-term bridging loan that effectively turned them into cash buyers to secure their new home. And when their own sale went through a few months later, they used the proceeds to pay off their bridging loan in full. Ready to see how we could help you?

Overall cost for comparison

For example: A bridging loan of £234,600 repayable after 12 months on a fixed rate of 9.00% would require a single payment of the capital borrowed plus the accrued interest totalling £261,849.24 including fees.

The total amount payable would be £261,849.24 made up of the loan amount (£234,600), plus interest on the loan (£22,215.37); arrangement fee (£4,692.00); interest on these fees (£231.87); and the redemption administration fee (£110.00).

The overall cost for comparison is 11.6% APRC representative.

Common questions about downsizing bridging loans

Can I get a bridging loan if I'm retired?

Yes – we’ve no maximum age on our Bridging loans, and we’ll consider a wide range of income (including your pension) when it comes to assessing affordability.

So if you’ve found the perfect retirement property, you don’t need to wait around for your current one to sell, and you’ll have plenty of time to organise your move and make the transition gradually.

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

We can lend you up to 75% of your property's value, so you’ll need at least 25% as a deposit. The maximum loan-to-value ratio we can offer may be reduced based on the nature of the property, what you’ll be using the bridging loan for, and your personal circumstances.

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).

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
