What is bridging finance?

Bridging finance is a short-term secured loan — typically 1 to 24 months — used to "bridge" a funding gap in property transactions. It's designed to complete quickly (sometimes within days) when conventional mortgage finance is too slow or not yet available.

Interest can be rolled up (added to the loan) or serviced monthly, meaning no cash outflow until the bridge is repaid — usually through a sale or refinance.

Common uses for bridging finance

  • → Buying at auction with a 28-day completion deadline
  • → Breaking a property chain — buy your next property before selling
  • → Refurbishing an unmortgageable property before refinancing
  • → Property developers needing a fast purchase ahead of planning
  • → Raising working capital against existing property
  • → Preventing a business-critical transaction falling through

Regulated vs unregulated bridging

Regulated Bridging

Where the security is a property that the borrower or a close family member will occupy. Subject to FCA regulation — providing important consumer protections.

Unregulated Bridging

Where security is investment property, land or commercial premises. Generally allows more flexibility on LTV, term and criteria. Widely used by property investors and developers.

Expert View

"Bridging is a market where rate is only part of the story. Speed of execution, quality of the lender's legal team, and clarity on exit requirements all matter enormously. We work with bridging lenders daily and know exactly which ones will perform — and which ones to avoid."
