Loan example: Quick breakdown of costs
Here’s a typical breakdown for a bridging loan:
- Administrative Fee: £295 (one-time fee, only payable if the loan is approved)
- Valuation Fees: Varies by property size and location
- Lender Fees: Around 2% of the loan amount
- Legal Fees: Borrower is responsible for both their own and lender’s legal fees
- Exit Fees: Typically 1% to 2% if applicable
Cost comparison:
- Serviced Payments: Interest is paid monthly, with the principal due at the end of the loan term. Ideal for borrowers who can manage regular payments.
- Retained Interest: Interest is deferred until the loan is fully repaid. The loan amount includes both the principal and interest, making it suitable for borrowers wanting to delay payments.
Loan eligibility checklist
To qualify for a bridging loan, you need:
- A minimum loan amount of £10,000
- UK residency (including Scotland and Ireland)
- Collateral in the form of a property
- A clear plan to repay the loan (e.g., selling a property, switching to a long-term mortgage, or expected income)
To fit our qualifying eligibility, you may also need to provide basic credit history and income details depending on the lender.
Typically, bridging loans last from 6 to 18 months, with a maximum of 24 months in some cases. Unlike mortgages, bridging loan interest is calculated on a monthly basis. Many lenders offer “rolled-up” interest, which is paid at the end of the term. Our calculator can help you assess the impact of extending your loan term. Just update the loan duration, and it will recalculate the cost so you can compare to the previous figures.
Case Study: Bridging Loan for House Purchase
Client: Homebuyer.
Loan Type: Bridging loan for house purchase.
Challenge: The client needed quick funds to purchase a new house before their existing property was sold.
Solution: We arranged a bridging loan within a week, allowing the client to secure the new property without having to wait for the sale of their current home. The loan was structured with retained interest, enabling the client to delay payments until the sale of their existing house. The loan was repaid in full once their property was sold, six months later.
