Why bridging loans?
The speed in which the borrower can access the capital from the bridging lender. In certain instances, a deal can be structured within hours if the borrower has the correct information at hand, but in most cases, it takes between 2 to 4 weeks. When quick finance is needed to buy property, they are the perfect solution.
Bridging loans are much faster compared to a standard mortgage, so can be a great alternative and a preferred method for those that need immediate access to capital.
Types of bridging loans: closed or open?
- Closed Loan: comes with a fixed repayment date and you will normally be given this kind of loan if you have exchanged contracts but are waiting for a property sale to complete.
- Open loan: does not have a fixed repayment date, but you will normally be expected to pay it off within one year.
