Bridging Loans in the UK FAQs

How quickly can a bridging loan complete?

Indicative terms can often be produced within one business day. Completion may take a few working days in straightforward cases, but timing depends on valuation, legal work, lender checks and the information supplied.

How much can I borrow with a bridging loan?

We arrange loans from £50,000 to £10 million. The amount available depends mainly on the property value, existing secured borrowing, the exit strategy and the lender's maximum loan-to-value.

Do I need an exit strategy?

Yes. Lenders need a credible way for the loan to be repaid, commonly by selling the property, refinancing onto a mortgage or receiving funds from another documented source.

Are all bridging loans FCA regulated?

No. A loan secured on a home occupied by you or a close family member may be regulated. Business and investment bridging is often unregulated. We confirm the position at the outset.
