Also known as bridging finance, this borrowing option serves as a short-term solution, typically lasting between 12 to 24 months.
The main purpose of a bridging loan is to fill the gap between property sale and purchase. Bridging finance offers a quick solution to secure a property until a property in the chain sells or a new mortgage is secured.
Bridging finance typically starts at £25,000 and can be set up in a matter of days.
As a mortgage broker in Manchester, we see bridging loans as a go-to for property investors eyeing development opportunities or high-end residential acquisitions, providing that much-needed bridge between selling one property and buying another. When considering this option, you need to factor in the associated costs when evaluating potential returns on investment.
Bridging loans can be used in a variety of situations, including during a property transaction, auction purchase, when funding property developments or fulfilling urgent business needs.
During a property transaction, a bridging loan plays a pivotal role in facilitating seamless transitions between purchasing a new property and selling an existing one. This ensures that buyers can secure their dream property without being hindered by the time-consuming process of selling their current one.
For those eyeing properties at auctions, bridging loans offer a lifeline by providing immediate funds required for the purchase. In this fast-paced environment, time is of the essence, and bridging loans act as a swift and efficient financial solution.
Property developers also benefit from bridging loans to kickstart construction projects and renovations. Whether it’s transforming a “fixer-upper” property and making it mortgageable with a new kitchen and bathroom or funding a larger development, bridging loans offer the flexibility and speed necessary to keep projects on track.
Businesses may also want to use bridging loans for various needs, such as securing working capital, funding expansion plans, or addressing short-term financial requirements.
Solutions beyond bridging loans in Manchester may be worth exploring depending on your circumstances. Your mortgage advisor in Manchester can discuss this in more depth, but here are some popular alternatives:
Traditional Mortgage – If a longer-term financial solution suits you and the property meets mortgage criteria, this could be an option to consider.
Secured Loan/Second Charge – In addition to property condition, you’ll need consent from your current mortgage provider and sufficient equity for eligibility.
Personal Loans/Credit Cards – For smaller amounts, unsecured options like personal loans or credit cards could be viable alternatives.
Development Finance – Tailored for investors eyeing renovation projects, these loans take a different approach. We can help analyse the choices available in this sector.
Fast House Buying Companies – Ideal for those seeking quick cash and a competitive offer, these companies can provide a solution for short-term financial needs.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.
