Bridging loans is a type of short-term funding solution that is often used to fund you for a period of time whilst allowing you to either refinance to longer term debt or sell a property. It generally has a slightly higher interest rate than conventional mortgages, reflecting the lender’s risk due to the uncertainty of the existing property’s pending sale.
Typically short-term funding solutions are offered for between 1-18 months, with the loan repayable in full at the end of the term.
