About Bridging Finance in Ely

Bridging finance provides rapid access to secured funding when time is critical. Whether you're purchasing at auction, breaking a property chain, or need quick capital for a time-sensitive opportunity, bridging loans offer the speed and flexibility that traditional mortgages cannot match.

Our bridging finance solutions are designed for both regulated and unregulated lending scenarios, covering residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties. We work with specialist bridging lenders who can make decisions in hours rather than weeks, with completion possible in as little as 5-7 days for straightforward cases.

With retained or serviced interest options, first and second charge facilities, and lending on properties that mainstream lenders won't consider, bridging finance is an essential tool for property investors and developers who need to move fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can bridging finance be arranged?

In urgent cases with all documentation ready, we can secure decisions within 24 hours and complete within 5-7 days. More complex cases typically take 2-3 weeks. The speed depends on property type, loan amount, and how quickly you can provide required documentation.

What interest rate structures are available?

Bridging loans offer retained interest (added to the loan), rolled-up interest (compounded monthly), or serviced interest (paid monthly). Retained interest is popular as it requires no monthly payments, with all interest paid when you exit the loan.

Can I get bridging finance on unmortgageable properties?

Yes, bridging lenders will consider properties that mainstream lenders reject, including those without kitchens or bathrooms, properties requiring significant refurbishment, short lease properties, and non-standard construction. The key is having a clear exit strategy.

What exit strategies do lenders accept?

Common exit strategies include sale of the property, refinancing to a term mortgage, sale of another asset, or receipt of inheritance or business sale proceeds. Your exit strategy must be realistic and achievable within the loan term.
