Bridging Finance

Bridging finance is short-term, property-secured funding designed to “bridge the gap” between an immediate need for cash and a longer-term solution, such as selling an asset, refinancing onto a term mortgage, or moving onto development finance. It’s typically interest-only and commonly runs for 1–24 months.

Typical Structure

  • Security: Secured against one or more properties
  • Rates: From 0.55% per month
  • Leverage: Up to 80% Loan to CMV, or 100% Loan to Purchase when buying below market value
  • Repayments: Interest can be serviced monthly or rolled up and repaid at exit
  • Speed: Faster and more flexible than traditional mortgages
  • Loan sizes: From £50,000 with no fixed upper limit
  • Early repayment: Often permitted without heavy penalties

When It’s Used

  • Auction purchases (28-day completions)
  • Chain breaks
  • Non-mortgageable or refurbishment properties
  • Land and early-stage development
  • Short-term business cashflow gaps

What Matters Most: The Exit

Bridging is built around a clear repayment strategy. This is typically:

  • Sale of the asset
  • Refinance onto a term or buy-to-let mortgage
  • Refinance onto development or longer-term finance
