You may need to consider alternative borrowing options if:

• You are buying at auction (and can’t get a mortgage fast enough to complete before the 28 day deadline)

• You are buying a property that needs significant renovation (and is thus currently unmortgageable)

• You have found the perfect property and want to move fast to secure it before someone else snaps it up

• You are planning to rent out your current home after moving to a new one (and can’t switch to a buy to let mortgage until you have made the move

In all of these circumstances and more, a bridging loan can be the ideal solution.

Why use a bridging loan to purchase buy to let property

Bridging loans are a type of short-term finance that can usually be arranged much faster than a mortgage, while still allowing you to borrow similar amounts.

Loan terms for bridging finance tend to be 1-18 months, although longer term borrowing may also be possible.

Bridging loans can also usually be secured on property that would not be considered mortgageable e.g. a house with no functional kitchen or bathroom.

Bridging finance is also commonly used in situations where a homeowner wants to purchase a new home before selling their old one e.g. if they want to rent the old one out.

Using a bridging loan for buy to let property can therefore allow you to move faster on opportunities and/or proceed when you would otherwise have to let an opportunity go by.
