Your Bridging Loan Questions Answered

  • What are the eligibility criteria? We understand that everyone’s situation is different. We work with lenders who consider various factors beyond just credit scores, such as your exit strategy and the property’s value.
  • What are the interest rates and fees? Bridging loan rates are typically higher than traditional mortgages due to their short-term nature. We’ll be upfront about all costs and work to find you the most competitive deal.
  • How does repayment work? Bridging loans are repaid in a single lump sum at the end of the term, often through the sale of the property or refinancing. Bridge to let finance can be used which includes a buy to let mortgage as the exit route.
  • What is the maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV)? The maximum LTV is usually up to 80% of the property’s value.
  • Are second charges available? Yes, second charges can be an option if you have an existing mortgage on the property.
