Frequently Asked Questions

A Bridging loan is designed to ‘bridge a gap’ for a property transaction until longer-term finance can be arranged, or an underlying security is sold. Bridging loans are popular because of the flexibility and speed that they can be arranged.

We routinely provide Bridging finance to fund the purchase of residential or commercial property for experienced property investors or developers to grow their property portfolios. Bridging loans can also be used to release equity from an existing property for further business transactions.
