Bridging Loans

Bridging Loans can be utilised for various purposes. They and a short-term solution, typically up to 12 months and have become an incredibly valuable tool for investors and developers. They’re typically used for:

  • Auction and short-deadline purchases
  • Properties in an un-mortgageable condition
  • Refinancing & capital raising
  • Land and pre-planning sites
  • Sales period and development exits
  • Property flipping
  • Chain breaks

Bridging typically allows interest payments and fees to be delayed until the loan redemption and in most cases there are no exit fees or penalties, meaning interest is only payable for the period the loan is outstanding. Mirwell Finance will not charge any broker fees for bridging loans above £150,000 as we are sufficiently remunerated by the lender.

These loans can be secured on a first, second or even third charge basis across all property types including:

  • Freehold & Leasehold Residential
  • Commercial [all types]
  • Land [with or without planning permission]

Refurbishment Loans

Most bridging loans are advanced in one single payment to assist with a purchase or refinance. However, in recent years, refurbishment loans have been designed to enable the costs of improving or converting a property to be funded by the lender as well on a multi-draw down basis.

They are a hybrid of bridging and development loans and allow borrowers to minimise their capital input into a project.
