What Are Landlord Bridging Loans?

Landlord bridging loans are short-term property finance facilities designed for landlords who need fast access to capital. Typically lasting 3 to 24 months, they provide funding to buy, refinance, or upgrade rental properties before moving onto long-term buy-to-let mortgages.

In London, landlord bridging loans are particularly valuable when competing for high-demand properties, refurbishing rentals, or expanding portfolios at speed.


When Landlords Use Bridging Finance

  • Portfolio Expansion – Acquiring new buy-to-let properties quickly, often at auction.

  • Refurbishment – Upgrading or converting properties to increase rental yield and capital value.

  • Refinancing – Raising short-term capital against existing property.

  • HMO Conversions – Funding works before refinancing onto an HMO mortgage.

  • Exit Finance – Covering short-term gaps while awaiting sales or long-term finance.

Fraser Bond advises landlords that bridging finance works best as a strategic tool to unlock opportunities before shifting to stable long-term lending.


Features of Landlord Bridging Loans

  • Loan Term – 3 to 24 months.

  • Interest Rates – Typically 0.5% to 1.2% per month.

  • Loan-to-Value (LTV) – Up to 75% on London residential investment properties.

  • Security – Secured against buy-to-let properties, HMOs, or portfolios.

  • Exit Strategy – Repayment through sale, refinancing, or portfolio restructuring.
