Questions
Bridge refinance questions
What is bridging finance?
Bridging finance is short-term property-backed funding that may be used where timing, a sale, a purchase, a refinance or another event creates a temporary funding gap.
What details are useful for a bridging finance quote discussion?
The most useful starting details are the funding amount, property or security value, loan term, urgency, occupancy or use, purpose and any route-specific deadline.
What is an exit strategy?
An exit strategy is the intended way the short-term finance would be repaid, such as selling a property, refinancing, completing a development sale or using another defined repayment route.
Can a limited company enquire about bridging finance?
Yes. A limited company can start an enquiry where the funding need relates to a property purchase, refinance, development, refurbishment or business purpose backed by suitable security.
