Bridging Finance

A bridging loan is a type of short-term finance solution often used to fund for a specific timescale, whilst allowing a client to refinance to longer-term debt or sell an asset to repay a loan. Bridging finance is becoming a more popular product due to the flexibility it offers.

Bridging loans are offered for a period of time, usually between 1-24 months with the loan repayable in full at the end of the term. This type of loan helps homeowners avoid disruption impacting a sales chain or aids property investors to unlock value when acquiring new investment opportunities.

Our sources of bridging finance include high-street banks, private banks, specialist lenders, investment funds, family offices and wealthy individuals.

We arrange the following types of bridging:

  • Residential bridging finance
  • Commercial bridging finance
  • Development finance
  • Offshore bridging finance
  • Refurbishment bridging finance
  • Second charge bridging
  • Regulated bridging finance
  • Non-regulated bridging finance
  • High value bridging finance
  • High LTV Bridging

Development Finance

Development finance is specifically designed to fund building projects for residential, commercial and mixed-use developments, of all sizes. The development finance team will work closely with both mainstream and specialist development lenders, who would otherwise be difficult to access. Due to our international network of contacts, we regularly deal with non-UK banks and private property funds who provide development funding and equity to our clients.

We deal with the following types of development funding:

  • Residential development finance
  • Mixed-use development finance
  • First time developers
  • Self-build finance
  • Commercial development finance
  • Offshore development finance
  • Refurbishment finance
  • Complex development finance

Lombard Lending

Lombard lending fulfils the need for immediate cash without having to divest assets. Lombard lending can offer a much greater degree of flexibility than conventional property finance, particularly if the property being used as security is your main residence, or the intended use is for business purposes. This type of borrowing is asset backed and doesn’t fall under regulated mortgage criteria. It isn’t based on a multiple of your personal or asset derived income.

Lombard lending has the following advantages and uses:

  • It can be used as part of a structured IHT plan
  • It retains control of assets
  • You can buy property without the need for a mortgage
  • You can potentially borrow 100% of the asset value
  • You can avoid CGT by not selling assets
  • You can achieve a much greater LTV as part of a blended loan facility
  • You can arrange cross border Lombard facilities.
