Short-term loans for property purchases

Our partner company Cotterell & Cotterell Commercial Finance is experienced in bridging finance and we are happy to make an introduction. Bridging finance, also known as bridge loans or bridging loans, is a type of short-term financing that helps bridge a gap in liquidity between the purchase and the sale of a property.

BridgE LOANS explained

It is a temporary financial solution that provides funds quickly, allowing individuals or businesses to meet their immediate needs while awaiting the completion of a more permanent financing arrangement or the sale of an asset.

Short-Term Nature

Bridging finance is intended for short durations, usually ranging from a few weeks to a few months. It is not a long-term solution.

Speed of Approval

One of the primary advantages of bridging finance is its quick approval process. This speed is crucial when individuals or businesses need funds urgently, such as in property transactions.

Collateral

Bridge loans are often secured by collateral, such as the property being purchased or other valuable assets. This collateral provides security for the lender in case the borrower is unable to repay the loan.

Higher Interest Rates

Due to the short-term and sometimes risky nature of short term loans, interest rates are typically higher than those associated with traditional long-term loans. Borrowers should carefully consider the costs and risks involved.

Who could benefit from bridging finance?

Bridging loans can be beneficial for various individuals and entities in specific financial situations.

Property Developers

Property developers often use bridging finance to secure funds quickly for purchasing properties, covering construction costs, or taking advantage of time-sensitive investment opportunities.

Homebuyers

Homebuyers who are in the process of purchasing a new home but face delays in the sale of their existing property may use bridging finance to cover the gap in funding.

Investors

Investors looking to acquire properties at auctions or in competitive markets may benefit from bridging finance to ensure they have the necessary funds on hand.

Renovators

Individuals or businesses undertaking renovation projects might use bridging finance to cover the upfront costs of the project before refinancing with a traditional mortgage or selling the renovated property.

Businesses in Need of Working Capital

Businesses facing short-term cash flow challenges may use bridging finance to cover operational expenses, pending receipt of payments from clients, or to take advantage of growth opportunities.

Buy-to-Let Investors

Property investors planning to buy a property for rental purposes may use bridging finance to secure the property quickly and then refinance with a traditional mortgage once the property is rented out.
