Bridging loans are a form of short-term mortgage lending. Bridging has traditionally been used by home buyers to ‘bridge’ the gap when buying a new property in situations where the sale of the existing property is delayed but the new purchase needs to proceed.

Bridging loans can also be used for a variety of other reasons. For example, if you are purchasing a property that is not suitable for mortgage purposes due to the property condition but are funding a renovation to bring the property to standard, bridging finance can transform a non-viable purchase into a great opportunity.

This type of lending can also provide a quick line of funding in order to secure a property with a short completion deadline, such as those purchased at auction. Typically, a buyer must complete within 28 days of an auction purchase, which may be challenging to do with a standard mortgage, particularly if the property needs work.
