For many a bridging loan will be something you only use once in your life.
Financing the bridging of the gap between a purchase and a sale can make the difference of winning or losing a property.
If you are downsizing and you have found your dream property to move to a bridge loan can make the transaction reality.
Bridging finance is a means to an end. It is not cheap finance. Getting a competitive rate on the money you borrow is vital to ensure you are not paying over the odds.
Working with a specialist bridging finance broker can ensure you are getting the best deal possible.
As a first port of call use a bridging loan calculator to get a feel for the indicative rates available to you. The rate you will pay will come down to:
A good broker will have access to the leading regulated bridging lenders and will have access to rates that other brokers may not be able to access.
Unlike a mortgage, which can take a long time to secure, bridging loans are suited to situations where time is of the essence.
It is extremely competitive in todays’ housing market and therefore it is more important than ever to act quickly.
A bridging loan may be a viable option for the following:
Where mortgages require a regular payment of interest, bridging loans have the option to ‘roll up’ the interest. This allows the borrower to repay the entire loan and interest at the end of the term of finance, which enables them to avoid monthly interest payments.
Bridging loan lenders will only agree to provide a bridging loan if there is a clear exit plan in place. An exit plan is the method to repay the loan. For example this could be the sale of a property or repaying the bridging loan with the funds from a mortgage.
With a mortgage from a traditional lender, a borrower will incur an early repayment charge in the event that the mortgage is repaid too quickly.
If finance is only required for a short period of time, early repayment charges can be avoided with a bridging loan. Bridging loans are designed for short terms of finance, usually between 1 and 36 months. This allows the borrower the freedom to repay the loan as quickly as they like.
If you require a bridging loan, speak to our finance team to discuss your requirements.
I approached Clifton Private Finance to help me get a mortgage as an Expat working in the Far East. I would normally 'cut out the middle man' on something like this and try to get myself a deal directly with the banks, but I am now sold on the broker concept and wouldn't hesitate to use Clifton Private Finance again. There were a number of complicating factors such as being an expat, the stamp duty holiday, the sheer amount I wanted to borrow and the fact I wanted it all wrapped up before the Stamp Duty holiday ended. It is clear to me now that the relationship that brokers have managed to foster with their banks means they can simply pull levers and make stuff happen that us ordinary folk cannot. Put simply, they are worth every penny, will take most of the stress out of the lending process, and seem to have access to deals that you just won't find on the internet. Thank you George and Jan for all your hard work!

Luther was excellent. Very clear in his advice and explanations of products and was able to move things on very quickly when we ran into difficulties with the estate agents. Without a doubt I would recommend Luther to all friends, family and colleagues. Luther was a joy to deal with and took a lot of the stress out of a troublesome transaction, from my end. I would view Luther as real asset to Clifton Private Finance Ltd.

The team at Clifton Private Finance has been outstanding, not only in helping me to obtain a mortgage on a slightly unusual home, but also in continuing to provide support and liaise with the lender and solicitors through to completion. Thank you for making the process of buying my first home much easier.

Sam O'Neill, and the new lender he identified for me, worked tirelessly together using my time constraints, to make sure my mortgage application was completed on time. They are a brilliant company to work with, fast, efficient, open and transparent from the very beginning, and turned a seemingly impossible situation into a viable one. Sam was brilliant throughout the whole process and I would highly recommend him, and his colleague Helen, to anyone without hesitation, I cannot speak highly enough about them.

I was incredibly lucky to find Clifton Private Finance after a search on line as their service has been more than exemplary. My point of contact was Sam 0’Neill and he was happy to help at every stage during the application of the bridging loan, making a stressful process much easier to deal with. He was always available by phone or email and gave prompt answers to queries I had as well as always getting back to me when he said he would. That to me is excellent customer service and I cannot thank him personally or the company enough for the support they have given me.

Adam cannot thank you enough for all your support throughout this arrangement. You have gone more than the extra mile to support us. Without you we would not have got our dream retirement home. You have been most professional and personable. Liz and I would be more than happy if you wanted to use us a reference with respect to any future clients.

You have certainly shown me that you do everything for your clients, including tolerating their excessive emails and questions for updates. I have been kept in the loop, from yourself, about why the delays were occurring (Nationwide, post etc) which I would like to highlight that I really appreciated. I certainly will be able to recommend you to others as and when the need arises.

I recently contacted Clifton Private Finance after a Google search for bridging finance providers and was immediately struck by their efficiency and support. Forms were emailed over almost immediately and the necessary finance was arranged within a few days. None of the other companies I contacted came close to their professionalism, and the quote that I eventually received was impressive. Thank you Adam, your help has enabled us to reserve the house that we wanted and I certainly recommend you to others.

Absolutely brilliant. The service was first class, got everything sorted efficiently and were always friendly. Any fees were negligible compared to the service offered. Robert was particularly outstanding.

My advisor, Robert, was very helpful in finding the mortgage to suit me. He kept me up to date throughout the process and dealt with any issues when they arose.
