Some useful things to know
How is bridging different from a mortgage?
Mortgages are long-term loans designed to be repaid over many years. Bridging loans, on the other hand, are designed for speed and flexibility, helping to cover immediate funding needs where traditional finance can’t move quickly enough.
What types of property can bridging loans be secured against?
Bridging can be secured against residential, semi-commercial, commercial, and mixed-use properties. In some cases, land with planning consent may also be considered.
How quickly can a bridging loan be arranged?
Timeframes vary depending on the property and legal process, but bridging is designed to move faster than traditional lending - with deals often completing in weeks, and sometimes in days.
What’s an ‘exit strategy’ and why does it matter?
Because bridging loans are short-term, it’s important to know how the loan will be repaid. Common exit strategies include selling the property, refinancing with a mortgage, or using another source of funds.
Do you need to have experience in property to use bridging?
Not always. While some borrowers are experienced investors or developers, bridging can also be used by homeowners or businesses with a one-off requirement. Brokers are often involved to help structure and guide the application.
