In London’s competitive housing market, timing is everything. Mortgages can take weeks or even months to process, but property purchases – especially at auctions, with new-build deadlines, or in chain-sensitive sales – often demand immediate funding.
A solution is temporary finance until the mortgage comes through. This allows buyers to complete on time and avoid losing a property, while waiting for their long-term mortgage to be finalised.
Auction Purchases – Auctions require completion in 28 days, too fast for most mortgages.
Chain Breaks – Securing your purchase even if your sale is delayed.
Developer Deadlines – Meeting fixed completion dates on off-plan or new-build homes.
Refurbishment Properties – Buying unmortgageable properties before works are complete.
Mortgage Processing Delays – Completing while lenders finalise approvals.
Fraser Bond helps buyers structure temporary finance to protect transactions without unnecessary risk.
Most common solution – short-term finance arranged in days.
Term – 3 to 18 months.
Repayment – Via mortgage completion or property sale.
Convert your existing home into a buy-to-let mortgage.
Release equity to fund your new purchase until your mortgage comes through.
Some developers allow staged or deferred payments.
Useful for off-plan purchases and new-build completions.
Speed – Enables buyers to secure property immediately.
Flexibility – Suitable for residential, investment, or mixed-use transactions.
Certainty – Strengthens buyer credibility in competitive London markets.
Higher Costs – Bridging loans charge more than traditional mortgages (0.5%–1.2% monthly).
Short-Term Only – Designed for a few months, not years.
Exit Strategy Required – Repayment depends on mortgage funds or a sale.
