What Are Bridging Loans?
Bridging loans are short-term loans designed to “bridge” the gap between purchasing a property and securing long-term financing or selling an existing property. Common uses include:
- Property purchases with tight deadlines
- Auction purchases
- Financing renovations or developments
- Resolving chain breaks in property sales
- With strict timelines and specific legal requirements, having an experienced solicitor is essential to navigate the complexities of bridging loans efficiently.
What Are Development Loans?
Development loans are short-term loans designed for funding construction or renovation projects. They are ideal for property developers or investors looking to:
- Finance new-build projects
- Fund extensive renovations or conversions
- Undertake multi-phase developments
Development loans are typically released in stages, known as “drawdowns,” as each phase of the project is completed. This structure requires careful legal management to ensure compliance with lender requirements and smooth progression.
