UK Bridging Loans

Bridging loans for expatriates are normally taken out when you have a short term requirement or you need to find money very quickly. Bridging loans are normally repaid within 12 months as the rate of interest makes it too expensive to borrow for much longer. However developers & investors have been using bridging loans for years to take advantage of market conditions or undervalued assets. Being able to purchase a property quickly offers many advantages such as negotiating the best price and beating others to the deal. One of the most common uses of Bridging Loans is when investors wish to purchase a property at auction. You normally have 4 weeks to complete on the purchase from the day of the auction. You will have to put down a 10% deposit that could be lost if you fail to get the funding in place so it is of paramount importance you go with the right lender. Bridging loans are required for a variety of reasons including;

• Meeting transaction deadlines.
• Borrowing against value as opposed to purchase price
• Raising more capital by securing the debt against numerous properties
• Providing finance when a conventional mortgage cannot be arranged within a time frame or at all
• When interest needs to be deducted with no monthly payments to be made
• Bridging loans can be more expensive than conventional finance, but may prove invaluable for many property owners because of the speed of decision making and funding. Call us today to see how we can help your property portfolios grow.
