Bridging finance is a short-term loan that can be used to bridge the gap between two financial transactions.  

For example, you might use bridging finance to buy a new property while you’re waiting for your old property to sell.

Bridging finance is available for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Buying a new property while you’re waiting for your old property to sell
  • Funding major structural home improvements
  • Carrying out renovation projects
  • Extending a lease
  • Buying a property at auction
  • Solving business cashflow problems
  • Paying inheritance tax
  • Repossessing a property

Bridging finance is a secured loan, which means that the lender will take a security interest in an asset of yours, such as a property. This means that if you fail to repay the loan, the lender could repossess the asset.

Bridging finance is typically more expensive than a traditional mortgage, but it can be a useful way to access funds quickly. It’s important to carefully consider your options before taking out a bridging loan, and to make sure that you have a clear exit strategy in place.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about bridging finance:

  • The interest rates on bridging loans are typically variable, which means that they can go up or down.
  • Bridging loans are usually repaid within a short period of time, typically 12 to 18 months.
  • You will need to provide the lender with detailed financial information, including your income, assets, and liabilities.
  • The lender will also need to value the asset that you are using as security.

If you are considering taking out a bridging loan, it’s important to speak to a financial advisor to get professional advice.
