When it comes to property investment or development, time and funding can make all the difference. Bridging loans are the perfect solution to bridge financial gaps, ensuring that your plans don’t stall. At Clever Mortgages, we partner with lenders like MSP to provide tailored short-term funding solutions to keep you moving forward.

 

What Are Bridging Loans?

Bridging loans are short-term, secured loans that provide quick access to funds. Whether you’re purchasing an investment property, completing a development project, or even buying at auction, these loans are designed to meet your needs with speed and flexibility.

Typically, bridging loans can unlock up to 70% of a property’s value and are secured against property assets. With pre-approved credit-backed terms included in your Offer of Finance, you can confidently make decisions and commit to your next step.

 

Why Choose a Bridging Loan?

Bridging loans are ideal in scenarios where timing is critical:

  • Buying your next project while waiting for the sale of an existing property.
  • Closing financial gaps during the final stages of a development project.
  • Securing property purchases at auctions with pre-arranged finance.
  • Funding refurbishment or redevelopment projects.

With streamlined processes and fewer forms, decisions can be made quickly—often within 24 hours of your initial enquiry. In some cases, funds can be drawn down within a matter of days, keeping your project on track without delays.

From the very first contact through (what was a complex and hugely frustrating conveyancing process), to the day of completion, Oak Mortgages were the shining light that got us through. Sarah and her team were brilliant. They were responsive, caring, empathetic, knowledgeable, professional, and human at each and every stage. We are so grateful that we used Sarah and Oak Mortgages and highly recommend them to anyone wanting to guarantee that authentic, trustworthy approach from professionals who care. A top class act - 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to Abby and the admin team at Oak Mortgages who have been fantastic in helping me secure a remortgage on my property. From my first phone call to Abby I was filled with confidence and the experience with the team was brilliant, especially when other companies involved were not so brilliant the Oak Mortgage team pulled out all the stops to make sure completion happened. I would highly recommend this company and will use their services in the future. Thank you again.
