Solutions For Your Scenario
Bridging finance is often required for properties where no planning permission or building regulation compliance is required, or where there is no change to the overall use or nature of the premises.
- Uninhabitable property – where standard mortgage companies will not lend on a property that is uninhabitable. A bridge loan can be a good way of providing the light refurbishment required to allow long-term finance to be put in place.
- Under “Permitted Development Rules” – light refurb or renovation short-term finance can provide the funding required to allow a change of use (e.g. offices into residential flats)
- Wind and watertight – can provide finance that allows properties that are “wind and watertight” to be taken through to completion
- Internal redecoration – funding for internal refurbishment to finance redecoration, fitting a new kitchen or bathroom, etc.
