What is Bridging Finance?

A Bridging Loan is a short-term solution to your financial needs. If you need to raise funds for either business or property, then this could be a suitable option for you. Loans can usually be arranged between £100,000 to £10m. Listed below are the various ways in which Life Financial Solutions can assist our clients with their bridging needs.

 

Purchasing a Property at Auction

Purchasing at Auction is becoming a popular way of buying an investment property. It requires the Buyer to complete the transaction within 28 days of exchange. Exchange usually takes place on the day of the Auction and requires a 10% deposit to be paid. It is not generally possible to obtain conventional mortgage finance in such a short space of time, so a bridging loan can be arranged to assist with the purchase (typically 7 to 10 working days). Once the property purchase is complete, a more conventional mortgage can then be obtained in order to refinance and repay the bridging loan.

‘Uninhabitable’ Property

When a property has no working kitchen or bathroom, central heating or running water, mainstream lenders will not be able to lend until the works have been completed on the property, as it would be considered uninhabitable.

At life Financial we can arrange a bridging loan in this scenario. Once the refurbishment work is complete then the property can either be refinanced to a conventional or specialist mortgage or it can be sold, to repay the loan.

Property Development & Planning

You may want to use bridging finance to assist in the purchase and/or renovation of a property which is then either sold or refinanced through more a conventional lender. The development could involve anything from light refurbishment through to complex structural changes to the property.

Bridging finance can also be used against land or property in order to obtain planning and secure development funding. It is worth noting that part-complete projects can also be purchased with a bridge.

Broken Chain

Where you are still in the process of selling your existing residence but want to purchase a new property, a bridging loan will enable you to secure the new property before the sale of your existing property completes. The bridging loan can be secured against the new property or any other properties owned by you. In some cases, we have been able to raise the entire amount to secure our client their new property.
