A bridging loan usually involves holding mortgages on two or more properties at the same time, for example, where the sale of an existing property will not happen until after a purchase has taken place.
Occasionally we may only need to lend on one property if your clients have significant savings to put towards the purchase.
Some purchasers only expect to have the bridging facility for a couple of weeks simply to avoid the inconvenience of moving out of one property on the same day that they move into another.
Alternatively, they might have two properties to sell and know that they cannot both be sold on the same day as your purchase.
Bridging loans are a high risk financial transaction and your clients should take independent legal advice.
The Key features of this mortgage are detailed below. In addition to this, copies of our Tailored Mortgages and Mortgage Information leaflets are available as a PDF download.
