What is a Bridging Loan?
A bridging loan is a short-term loan (1–18 months) secured against property, designed for quick financing when traditional mortgages are too slow. In Bristol’s fast-moving market—where auctions in St George and developments in Temple Quarter demand speed—bridging loans cover purchases, renovations, or chain breaks. As expert bridging loan brokers in Bristol, we source competitive rates (0.5–1.5% monthly) and terms to suit your needs, ensuring a solid exit strategy (e.g. property sale, refinance).
Key benefits of bridging loans in Bristol:
- Secure properties in high-demand areas like Clifton or Stokes Croft.
- Fund urgent deals, with 28-day auction completions met easily.
- Flexible terms for residential, commercial, or development projects.
- Leverage Bristol’s 5.2% annual price growth for profitable exits.
