What are bridging loans?
A bridging loan is a short-term, secured loan designed to “bridge the gap” between immediate financial needs and long-term funding solutions. Typically lasting from 6 to 18 months, these loans are ideal for time-sensitive scenarios, such as buying a property before selling your current home, funding renovations, or securing auction purchases. Bridging loans are secured against property or other high-value assets, making them accessible even for those with less-than-perfect credit.
Key features:
- Loan amounts from £20,000
- Terms from 6 months to 18 months
- No exit fees on many products
- Rolled-up interest options for no monthly repayments
Why use bridging finance in Berkshire?
Berkshire’s property market is dynamic, with high demand in areas like Maidenhead, Bracknell, and Slough. From historic homes in Windsor to modern developments in Reading, opportunities abound for investors, developers, and homeowners. Bridging loans provide the speed and flexibility needed to capitalise on these prospects:
- Auction purchases: Secure properties at auctions in Berkshire with completion often required within 28 days.
- Property chain solutions: Buy your dream home in Ascot or Wokingham without waiting for your current property to sell.
- Renovations & flips: Fund refurbishments in high-value areas like Henley-on-Thames to maximise returns.
- Commercial opportunities: Invest in Berkshire’s thriving business hubs, such as Reading’s tech corridor.
With excellent transport links to London and a strong local economy, Berkshire is a prime location for property investment. Bridging loans ensure you don’t miss out on time-sensitive deals.
Bridging loan rates & costs
We offer competitive bridging loan rates starting from 0.55% per month, with typical ranges between 0.55% and 2% per month. Rates depend on factors such as:
- Loan-to-value (LTV) ratio: Lower LTVs (e.g., 50–65%) often secure lower rates.
- Property type: Residential properties in Berkshire typically attract better rates than commercial or mixed-use properties.
- Loan term: Shorter terms may offer more favourable rates.
- Exit strategy: A clear repayment plan, such as selling a property or refinancing, can reduce costs.
Cost breakdown
| Rate/fee | Details |
| Interest Rate | 0.55%–2% per month (e.g., 0.55% monthly = 6.6% annual equivalent) |
| Arrangement Fee | 2% of the loan amount |
| Valuation Fee | Varies based on property value (often £500–£2,000) |
| Exit Fee | £0 on many products – Some lenders might have a minimum interest period |
Example scenario
For a £300,000 bridging loan at 0.55% per month over 12 months in Berkshire, the interest would be approximately £19,800 (rolled-up). With a 2% arrangement fee (£6,000), the total repayable amount would be around £325,800, assuming no early repayment. Use our online bridging finance calculator for a personalised quote.
