    When might you require a bridging loan?

    Bridging loans can be used for a wide variety of situations:

    The banks have let you down

    A short-term problem with funding appears

    You need to quickly find the funds for a project

    A property is not mortgageable through a high street lender

    At such times, bridging loans are available for residential property, commercial property, mixed-use property, land and more.

    Our aim is to make sure you get the exact type of funding you require, which suits your project and situation.

    We hold all the necessary authorisations to cater for your needs and requirements including consumer buy to let loans.

     

    When might you require development finance?

    Our development finance is not just for large projects. All developments, large and small are welcome:
    Building a home to live in
    Converting a property into flats
    Building out a multiple unit site into houses/flats
    Using land you already own including your current garden to build another house to sell for profit
    Our experience in structuring and providing such development finance is second to none. Not only do we provide the finance but we add real value to the process.
