Bridging finance is a short-term loan often secured against property. It can be used to bridge a funding gap while a sale, refinance or other exit route is arranged.

Do I need an exit strategy?

Yes. Lenders will usually want to understand how the facility will be repaid, such as through sale, refinance or another clearly evidenced repayment route.

Can bridging finance be regulated?

Some bridging loans may be regulated depending on the borrower and property use. We will explain this during the enquiry process where relevant.
