A Bridging loan is a short term flexible loan, usually for 12 months or less secured on a property by way of a first charge mortgage where the exit is guaranteed by way of a sale or Remortgage. The loan can be used to “Bridge” the gap in your finances until either a long term financing solution can be secured or funds received from the sale of a property.
We will lend on most types of residential property purchased and sold by Professional Property Investors and Landlords. As a lender we will secure a 1st legal charge on the security property, in some cases we can also look at taking a 2nd charge on a property. We do not lend on residential property you plan to use as your primary residence. These are “regulated” loans, we can arrange for a regulated broker to discuss the Pros & Cons of Regulated bridging loans.
For all loans provided by Closed Bridging Finance property used as security must be in England or Wales. If we work with a third party lender, they will consider property located in Scotland Northern Ireland.
