Real bridging cases sourced through our panel. Every deal is different — yours starts with a free comparison.
A former bank branch with three flats above, won at auction with 28 days to complete. Title problems and a lender down-valuation left the deposit at risk with 11 days left. A first-charge auction facility plus a second charge over an existing BTL bridged the gap — completed on day 26, redeemed within eight months.
Clients were exchanged on their onward purchase when their buyer pulled out nine days before completion — exposed to the full contractual liability. A regulated bridge across both properties let them complete on time; the old home sold four months later and the balance refinanced onto a standard mortgage.
A tired five-bed to be converted into a licensed HMO, complicated by an Article 4 direction, an unregularised extension and a satisfied CCJ. Disclosed upfront BDM-to-BDM, structured as a day-one advance plus staged works funding. Let by month seven, refinanced onto an HMO mortgage by month eleven.

Short-term, secured on property, and fast. Here is the plain-English version before you compare.
Short-term finance secured against property, usually from a few weeks up to 12–24 months. It bridges a gap: buying before you sell, moving fast at auction, or raising money while you arrange longer-term finance.
You borrow against a property’s value, often with interest rolled up and repaid at the end rather than monthly. You need a clear exit — how you will repay — such as a sale or a remortgage.
Typically up to around 75% of the property’s value (loan-to-value), sometimes more with additional security. The tool shows the maximum each lender will reach for your case.
Bridging is built for speed — many cases complete in days to a few weeks, far quicker than a standard mortgage, depending on the property, valuation and legal work.
A closed bridge has a fixed repayment date; an open bridge does not. A first charge is the main loan on the property; a second charge sits behind an existing mortgage. The filters handle all of these.
Often fine — several specialist lenders consider adverse credit, because bridging is secured on property. Tick “adverse credit” in the tool to see lenders who will consider it.
Buying a £500,000 property and need a £325,000 bridge (65% LTV) for 12 months at an indicative 0.64% a month: interest is around £2,080 a month, and with a 2% lender arrangement fee (£6,500) the indicative cost of finance over the term is about £31,460 — plus valuation and legal costs, confirmed before you commit. A desktop valuation and dual legal representation can often reduce those extra costs.
Bridging is priced monthly. Indicative rates on our panel start from around 0.55% a month for the strongest cases and rise with LTV and complexity. On top of the interest you will usually pay a lender arrangement fee (commonly around 2%), a valuation fee, and legal costs. Some lenders accept a desktop/AVM valuation, and dual legal representation can keep legal costs down.
Bridging suits short-term, time-sensitive situations with a clear exit. If you have more time, a remortgage or further advance, a second-charge mortgage, or (for smaller sums) a personal loan may cost less. A specialist can talk you through which route fits — with no obligation.
