Bridging Loans

Bridging Loans FAQs

How long can I borrow for?

The term will depend on the reason for borrowing. There are instances where this can be as long as 3 years with some lenders. Typically bridging is capped at 18 months with most terms being 12 months.

Will I need to give security?

Yes, the lender will want either a first or second charge over the property.

How much can I borrow?

Bridging is an LTV product. What does that mean? Basically you can borrow up to a the max LTV (loan to value) of a property. Where this isn’t enough and you have additional property you could offer as security you may be able to borrow up to the combined maximum LTV. You should always make sure that you can repay you facility by the end of the term as there is no or little affordability assessment on bridging products.
