Frequently Asked Questions
Bridging loans are short-term loans designed to “bridge the gap” between property purchases.
They’re typically used where speed is of the essence, such as when a buyer wants to jump on a
good opportunity or has a development deadline on the horizon. However, they can also be used for
several costs, throughout the investment process such as:
- To refinance an existing loan which may be nearing its terms end date.
- Commercial property owners could use bridging finance to convert empty offices into flats, or simply expand a premise for a broadening business.
- Useful for foreign investors looking to move into the UK market. Overseas buyers are likely to face more stringent rules and added paperwork than their UK counterparts when going through mainstream routes. Bridging can help reduce these potential setbacks.
