What is a bridging loan?
A Bridging loan can offer you a quick and flexible route to getting finance which is secured against a property.
These types of loans can be used for almost any purpose but are most commonly used by property developers and individuals who are seeking to purchase a new property but where sourcing a traditional mortgage would take too long or where lenders may not lend on standard criteria.
They are also often used to bridge a gap if you are all set to buy a new home but the sale of your original home stalls or falls through - hence the name ‘bridging loans’. As long as it is located in England, Wales or Scotland, any type of residential property, land, or commercial property can be considered as security for a bridging loan.
Bridging loans for home buyers
For those who are seeking to buy a property a bridging loan can offers solutions in situations such as:
-
A quick cash injection to secure a property if you spot one that you like before your current home has sold
-
Keeping the momentum going on your home purchase even if the chain breaks down – for example, if your buyer pulls out and you no longer have funds from the sale to buy your new property
-
Self-building projects, renovations and property conversion projects – these properties can be hard to get mortgages for, so a bridging loan could help in these circumstances
-
Finance for buying a property at auction – you will usually need to pay 10% deposit to secure an auction property and a bridging loan could help to cover this cost

Other uses for bridging loans
Bridging loans are not just for private home purchases. Some other common uses for bridging loans include:

-
Development finance – if you are buying a derelict property to develop, a bridging loan could help
-
Land purchase – you could use a bridging loan for buying land that is intended for development, whether for your own use or for commercial purposes
