Bridging finance across the UK
We arrange short-term property finance for investors, developers, landlords and businesses. Bridging loans, development finance, development exit finance, auction finance, refurbishment finance, bridge-to-let and second-charge bridging, structured around a clear exit and placed with lenders that price short-term property risk.
Short-term property finance built around your exit
Bridging finance is won or lost on the exit and the speed. A lender will only complete if the repayment route is credible: a confirmed sale, a refinance onto a buy-to-let or commercial mortgage, or the completion of a development. Knowing how lenders read an exit, how they treat the security, and where retained interest bites is the difference between a deal that funds and one that stalls.
We work with property investors, developers, landlords and businesses on transactions from around one hundred thousand pounds upward. We arrange the bridging loan that moves at auction pace, the development finance that funds a ground-up build or heavy conversion, the development exit facility that clears a facility when sales are slow, the refurbishment finance that funds a light or heavy refurb, and the second-charge bridge that raises capital without disturbing a first charge.
Sitting across more than one hundred lender relationships, we match each case to the desks that actually back it. Indicative rates average around 0.88% a month (Bridging Trends, 2025), average LTV around 60%, average term about 12 months, and average completion around 55 days. The right lender for your transaction depends on the security, the exit and the borrower profile. Finding that fit is the work.
The finance we arrange
Seven short-term property finance products, used alone or combined.
Bridging Finance
A bridging loan is short-term, property-secured funding that lets you act quickly when a mortgage is too slow, cannot fund the asset or will not stretch to the required term. We arrange bridging finance across the UK for investors, developers, landlords and businesses.
Learn moreDevelopment Finance
Development finance funds the purchase of land or an existing building and the construction costs of a ground-up development or major conversion. We arrange development finance for residential and mixed-use schemes, from single plots to multi-unit sites, with staged drawdowns against build cost.
Learn moreDevelopment Exit Finance
Development exit finance refinances a maturing development loan onto a cheaper, sales-period facility once the build is complete. It takes the pressure off an expiring development loan and gives you the time to sell units at full market value rather than at a discount.
Learn moreAuction Finance
At auction the contract is exchanged the moment the hammer falls. You pay around 10% on the day and have 28 days to complete the balance. Auction finance is built to hit that deadline where a mortgage will not.
Learn moreRefurbishment Finance
Refurbishment finance is a bridging loan built around a property improvement project. It funds the purchase and the works on a single short-term facility, covering everything from a light cosmetic refresh to a structural heavy refurbishment, then exits on a sale or a buy-to-let remortgage.
Learn moreBridge to Let
Bridge-to-let is a two-stage product that combines a short-term bridging loan with a pre-agreed buy-to-let mortgage from the same lender. You bridge to buy and refurbish, then roll straight onto the mortgage without a fresh application. One lender, one process, one exit.
Learn moreSecond Charge Bridging
A second charge bridging loan sits behind your existing mortgage and releases equity from property you own without disturbing your first charge. It is the right tool when you need capital quickly but do not want to remortgage or cannot, because your current rate is too good to leave or because your first lender's early repayment charges make switching expensive.
Learn moreCommon scenarios we arrange finance for
Bridging finance solves a specific problem. Find the scenario closest to yours.
Buy before you sell
When the home you want comes up before the one you are selling has completed, a bridging loan lets you buy now and repay when your sale goes through.
Learn moreBuy at auction
Auction completion is non-negotiable, usually 28 days from the fall of the hammer. Bridging finance is built to hit that deadline.
Learn moreRefurbish and sell
Buy a property, renovate it and sell it on. A refurbishment bridge funds the purchase and the works, then repays from the sale.
Learn moreConvert or change use
HMO conversions, commercial-to-residential schemes and change-of-use projects turn on one thing first: the planning status. So does the finance.
Learn moreExit a development
When the build is finished but the units are still selling, a development exit facility refinances your maturing development loan onto cheaper money while you sell.
Learn moreBuy an unmortgageable property
Uninhabitable, short-lease or non-standard property that no mortgage lender will touch. A bridge buys it, you make it mortgageable, then you refinance.
Learn moreRaise capital fast
When you need funds quickly for a time-critical purpose, a bridge releases equity from property you already own, including as a second charge behind your mortgage.
Learn moreRelationships, structuring and pace
Whole-of-market panel
More than one hundred lender relationships across high-street banks, challenger banks, specialist bridging lenders, debt funds and private capital.
Lender-side experience
Matt Lenzie spent much of his career on the lender's side, which means he knows how a short-term desk underwrites a bridge: the exit, the LTV, retained interest, and how to get a valuation and drawdown to line up on time.
Whole journey
Bridging loan, development finance, development exit, auction purchase, refurbishment and onward term debt, arranged so each stage connects cleanly to the next.

“Bridging is won or lost on the exit and the speed. Every case still comes through me personally: the structuring, the exit story, the valuation, the legals and the drawdown. Clients are not handed off. They get a decision and a lender who can actually complete.
