Why get a residential bridging loan?

With bridging loans for house purchase, you can borrow money over a period lasting from 30 days to 36 months. All loans taken out on primary residential property (property you live at) are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The maximum legal loan term limit for a regulated bridging loan is 12 months.

Unlike with mortgages, you don’t make monthly payments towards the capital and the interest. Instead, you repay the capital for residential bridge loans all in one go at the end.

As interest is calculated daily vs monthly, you’re guaranteed an accurate representation of the amount of interest you owe.

Bridging loan myths
  1. Bridging loans are last resorts – no! Bridging loans are flexible, convenient and accessible funding.
  2. Bridging loans are always risky – no! However, there is still risk associated with any loan. We recommend taking advice on exit strategies from an FCA regulated and Cemap Qualified Broker.
  3. Bridging loans are expensive – no! Only when they are not repaid in full and on time. 

Can I get a bridging loan with poor credit?

development project-support

Rapid Bridging’s lenders are able to lend to those applicants that have a poor credit history, including those with arrears, bankruptcies, CCJs, defaults, IVAs, response orders, statutory demands, winding up orders and more. 

In these cases, lenders will often require borrowers to provide a wider range of exit strategies because of the concern that they will be unable to obtain the finance necessary to repay the loan. Please do not be put off from applying – we have years of experience helping clients with poor credit ratings find the funding they need.
