What bridging is. How ours is different.
Short answers to the questions that come up first. For the detail, see our case studies and rate sheets.
What is bridging finance?
A short-term loan, usually 3 to 18 months, secured against a property. It bridges the gap between buying and a permanent exit: a sale, a refinance to a BTL mortgage, or a development drawdown.
Investors use bridging when speed matters more than rate: auction wins, chain breaks, refurb and flip, or when a property isn’t mortgageable in its current state.
How do our five-minute terms work?
Our digital underwriter, built in-house, runs your case to provide you with indicative terms digitally, a rate and a fee breakdown, generated in five minutes flat.
If your case is unusual, complex structure, foreign nationals, listed buildings, it routes to a human underwriter for a same-day decision.
The 5 to 20 day completion timeline
Day 1: Heads of Terms generated. Day 2 to 6: valuation (desktop or physical, depending on the case). Day 2 to 20: legals via our dual-rep solicitors.
Auction cases run faster. We have completed in 4 working days against a 28-day deadline.
