Short-term funding secured against property or assets to cover a timing gap — settlement to sale, purchase to refinance, or a temporary shortfall.
A bridging loan is short-term finance designed to cover a temporary gap — most often the window between buying one asset and selling another, or between a commitment falling due and longer-term funding arriving.
Because it's secured against property or another substantial asset and repaid quickly, a bridging loan trades a slightly higher rate for speed and flexibility. It's about timing: getting the deal done now, then repaying once your sale settles or permanent finance lands.
Bridging is a specialist product — pricing and appetite swing widely between funders and private lenders. We connect you to the ones actively writing bridging finance so you're not chasing dead ends.
