In the dynamic UK property market, bridging finance serves as a vital tool for investors and developers needing swift, short-term funding solutions. Whether it's to secure a property at auction, fund renovations, or manage cash flow between transactions, understanding the intricacies of bridge financing is crucial. Fraser Bond stands at the forefront, offering expert advisory services to guide clients through these financial avenues.
Bridge financing, commonly known as bridging loans in the UK, is a short-term loan typically used to "bridge" the gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing one. These loans are secured against property assets and are characterized by their rapid arrangement and flexibility.
Key Features:
Loan Amounts: Typically range from £50,000 to £25 million, depending on the lender and collateral.
Term Length: Short durations, usually between 1 to 18 months.
Interest Rates: Higher than traditional mortgages, reflecting the short-term nature and speed of arrangement.
Repayment: Often interest-only, with the principal repaid at the end of the term.
Bridge financing is suitable in scenarios where quick access to funds is essential:
Property Auctions: Securing a property quickly before traditional financing can be arranged.
Chain Breaks: Purchasing a new home before selling the current one.
Renovations: Funding refurbishment projects to increase property value.
Development Projects: Covering costs during the construction phase before long-term financing is secured.
