Residential Bridging Loans FAQs

Can I use a bridge to buy before I sell?

Potentially. The lender will assess the equity across the available security and how the loan will be repaid once your existing property sells.

What makes a residential bridge regulated?

Broadly, a loan may be regulated when at least 40% of the secured property is occupied, or intended to be occupied, by the borrower or a close family member. The exact position must be assessed for each case.

Can I bridge a broken property chain?

Yes, subject to sufficient security and a credible exit. Bridging can allow a purchase to proceed while the sale of another property is delayed.

Will a poor credit history prevent a bridging loan?

Not automatically. Lenders focus heavily on the security and exit, but credit history can affect choice, pricing and the evidence required.
