Frequently asked questions
What is a bridging loan?
A short-term loan secured on property, usually used to complete a purchase or project before a sale or longer-term refinance repays it.
Do you provide the finance yourselves?
No. ExpertBrokerUK is a broker. We assess your case and approach a range of funders on your behalf.
What do I need to get started?
An outline of the property, the amount needed, the intended term and how you plan to repay. We will tell you what else is likely to be requested.
Is approval guaranteed?
No. All finance is subject to status, valuation and funder criteria. We give an honest view of what is realistic before you proceed.
Who we help
We work with borrowers using property for business and investment purposes across England & Wales.
Property investors
Purchases, refinances and portfolio moves where conventional lending is too slow or too rigid.
Developers
Ground-up schemes, conversions and finance to exit a completed development.
Landlords
Buy-to-let purchases, refinancing and funding for works on rental stock.
Businesses buying premises
Owner-occupiers and companies purchasing or refinancing commercial property.
Auction buyers
Purchasers who need funding lined up to meet a fixed auction completion deadline.
Common bridging scenarios
Typical situations where short-term property finance is considered. Every case is assessed on its own merits.
01
Chain break
A buyer pulls out or a sale is delayed. A bridge can let a purchase proceed while the existing property is sold.
02
Auction completion
Auction purchases usually carry a fixed completion window. Finance is arranged around that deadline and the lot itself.
03
Refurbishment before refinance
A property that is not yet mortgageable is bought and improved, then refinanced onto longer-term lending.
04
Buying below market value
Where a discounted purchase needs to move quickly, short-term finance can bridge to a longer-term arrangement.
05
Development exit
Once a build is complete, development exit finance can repay the build loan while units are sold or let.

What funders typically look at
Understanding these points early helps us present your case clearly to the funders we approach.
- SecurityThe property offered, its condition, location, type and how readily it could be sold.
- Exit strategyHow the loan will be repaid – typically a sale or refinance – and how credible that plan is.
- Loan to value (LTV)The loan amount compared with the property’s value, which shapes what terms may be available.
- ExperienceYour track record with similar projects, particularly for refurbishment and development.
- TimescalesThe term required, project milestones and whether the plan fits realistically within them.
Criteria vary between funders and all finance is subject to status, valuation and funder criteria.
