The bridging finance we arrange in Greater London
The short-term property finance structures we place across the county, alone or in sequence.
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.
Development 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.
Development 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.
Auction 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.
Refurbishment 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.
Bridge 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.
Second 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.
Exit market
The Greater London property market and your exit
Because a bridge is repaid by a sale or a refinance, local turnover is the exit. Greater London recorded around 92,500 residential sales over the last year, at a county median of about £535k. The towns with the deepest turnover, the most liquid exit markets, are below.
