Bridging Explained

What Is A Bridging Loan?

Bridging loans are often defined as stop-gap finance with a shorter application process than a traditional mortgage.

The approval process generally takes two to four weeks, although Novellus can proceed much faster than this if a loan needs to complete quickly. The loan is secured against an asset, such as property and the repayment term is usually between 6-12 months, although it can be paid back earlier if required. They are available as a closed bridge – when the date of repayment is set; or open bridge – when there is no specific repayment date set. The circumstances of the loan dictate whether it is open or closed.

Suitability

ARE BRIDGING LOANS SUITABLE FOR ANYONE?

Anyone with a need for short-term finance can apply for a bridging loan, as long as there is a suitable asset to act as security. Individuals looking to buy at auction (for investment purposes), or property developers working on large projects are common applicants, as are people interested in purchasing property that does not qualify for a traditional mortgage. A typical example is a building not currently classed as habitable.

Bridging loans are suitable for businesses and individuals who require finance quickly. High Street banks and building societies can take several months to process an application, whereas the decision to approve a bridging loan is quick and hassle-free. Here at Novellus we have no external credit committee to answer to, which means the approval process is faster and allows us to give a quicker decision than most of our competitors.

Novellus provide unregulated bridging loans. Starting from £500,000 with no upper limit. The Loan To Value (LTV) is usually 50 – 70% we can discuss applications based on their individual merits.
