What is a Bridging Loan

A bridging loan is a short-term loan that can be invaluable in emergency cashflow situations, such as fulfilling an urgent HMRC tax bill or saving a property chain from collapse. They're also particularly useful when mortgage products are deemed unsuitable to carry out renovations, conversion and refurbishments of properties where there is a requirement to turn around transactions quickly.

With a bridging loan, there is a maximum term of 24 months (12 months regulated), and you will need to provide the lender with a clear exit strategy. This might be by refinancing to a basic or buy-to-let mortgage, selling the property or other means.
