Frequently Asked Questions
Bridging finance is a short-term loan designed to ‘bridge’ the gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing one. It provides immediate funding for property transactions that need to be completed quickly.
Bridging finance is commonly used when purchasing a property at auction, avoiding property chain delays, renovating a property before obtaining a longer-term mortgage, or accessing funds quickly for business purposes.
Bridging finance can often be arranged much faster than traditional mortgages, typically within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of the transaction and the lender’s requirements.
Interest rates for bridging finance are generally higher than those for traditional mortgages due to the short-term and higher-risk nature of the loan. Rates can vary widely based on the lender, loan amount, and borrower’s circumstances.
Most types of properties can be used as security for bridging loans, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties. Some lenders may also accept land or development sites as collateral.
Bridging loans are typically repaid in full at the end of the loan term, usually through the sale of the existing property, refinancing with a long-term mortgage, or other sources of funds. Some bridging loans may also allow interest to be rolled up and paid at the end of the term.
Bridging finance can be risky if the borrower is unable to repay the loan within the agreed term, potentially leading to high interest costs and financial strain. It is essential to have a clear repayment strategy and consider potential risks before taking out a bridging loan.
