A Bridging Loan can also be the solution if :

you need to buy a new property before you complete the sale of your home and the equity is released.
there is likely to be a delay in moving after completion.
you need funding for short-term commercial or residential renovations.
saving a property purchase if the mortgage is delayed.

What is a Bridging Loan?

A Bridging Loan is a short term mortgage which is secured by your property. This is usually arranged by getting a mortgage on the new property, and taking out a second mortgage on the property being sold. This type of loan is mainly available for house sales and is usually taken out to solve a temporary cash shortfall which can happen when selling and buying different properties or to pay for renovations. It 'bridges' the gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing one.

There are generally two categories of Bridging Loans:

Closed - this is when you have exchanged contracts on both the property you are buying and the property you are selling.
Open - this is when you have not exchanged contracts on the property you are selling.

Bridging Loan Couple 'We were moving from Oxford to Devon, due to promotion and also to be nearer to family. We had exchanged contracts on our new house and paid a deposit.
The sale was supposed to go through the same day as our purchase, providing us with enough funds to complete.
Unfortunately, our buyers pulled out during the week of completion. We were so worried that we would lose our new house, as we couldn't get the mortgage unless our old house sale was completed.
By enquiring through Loansite we quickly arranged a Bridging Loan within a matter of days, so we completed the sale and the following week we found another buyer for our original property - at a higher price!'

Bridging loans can be arranged for:

Residential property
Commercial property
New house building
Land purchase
Renovations
Conversions
Overseas Property
Auctions

This can be the most cost-effective way to fill the gap that can sometimes occur between buying and selling your property.
Due to being for a short term Bridging Loans are usually at a higher rate than your conventianal mortgage, interest rates are generally around 2.25% a month. We ensure that the most competitive rates are offered to our applicants, due to our specialist team of top lenders and brokers.

Fast-track

We specialise in providing fast online access to Bridging-Loan finance on residential or commercial properties in the UK.
Our lenders have no maximum limit for Bridging Loans, so a substantial amount is available if needed. Our lenders will usually allow Bridging Loans of up to 80% of the value of the property. The amount is borrowed for a period from a week to a year. The maximum term for a Bridging Loan is generally 12 months and no repayment is required until the loan term has expired or the loan is refinanced. There is, in certain circumstances, the flexible facility of extending the loan period if necessary for some clients. Short term Bridging loans are quick to arrange and are repayable either in a lumpsum payment of principal or monthly instalments.
A Bridging Loan is available as a stand alone product or is available in conjunction with a mortgage.

Being self employed or having an adverse credit history or CCJs need not be a problem. A Bridging Loan can even enable people who have an adverse credit history to build a track record before applying for a conventional mortgage. A successful Bridging Loan can have a positive effect on a borrower’s credit score making future finance more attainable.
