Why choose Bridgemore Capital

We offer speed, transparency, and reliability.

Unlock your purchasing power with auction finance - fast, flexible, and tailored to help you seize opportunities the moment they appear, giving you the competitive edge you need.

Don’t let financing delays stand between you and auction success. Competitive auction finance speeds up the lending process so you can hit your 28-day timescale, without the hassle and stress with other forms of finance.

Better yet, borrowing amounts don’t hinge on your own personal earnings or rental income potential either, so you typically won’t need a business plan nor cashflow forecasts to apply. This is why auction finance is often the easiest and quickest way to fund auction purchases, especially where the property is in need of heavy work or light renovation before letting or sale.

We’re dedicated bridging loan specialists with a commitment and devotion to your cause. We have the expertise, speed of service and flexibility you need to find suitable funding solutions from across the market.

Not only that, it’s our job to negotiate hard on your behalf and showcase the merits of your situation to drive down the costs to the lowest level we can. Call us today, pre or post auction, for a no-nonsense conversation and quick quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: The interest rate on a bridging loan can start from around 0.55%.

Several factors will influence the exact rate, including:

– Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio
– Lender’s policies
– Borrower’s financial profile
– Nature of the project
– Type of property

A: The amount you can borrow largely depends on the specific opportunity you are pursuing.

Here are some general guidelines:

Light Refurbishment Projects: Typically, you can borrow up to 75% of the purchase price. Some lenders might offer contributions towards refurbishment costs, potentially increasing the borrowing amount to 85%.
Heavy Refurbishment Projects: It is possible to borrow 70-75% of the purchase price and receive 100% funding for the refurbishment works.
Higher Contribution Options:
Some lenders may lend 70-75% of the market value, which can be advantageous if the purchase price is below market value.

You can use other property assets as additional security. If you have equity in another property, you might be able to secure additional funds up to 70% of the property’s value. For example, if a property is worth £100,000 with an existing debt of £60,000 (60% LTV), you may add another £10,000 using this asset.

A: Bridging lenders generally focus less on your income compared to traditional mortgage lenders. The primary concern for a bridging lender is your exit strategy, which could be through selling the property or refinancing onto a longer-term product. Your income may be considered if you choose to service the loan by paying monthly interest.

A: During the application process, both the lender and borrower will assess the exit strategy and ensure the loan term includes contingency time. If the project runs over and you approach the end of the term, it is crucial to inform your lender as soon as possible. Most lenders will work with you to support the situation, potentially extending the loan term.

A: Lending options still exist for investors with adverse credit, although each situation is unique. Some lenders are willing to consider applications from those with poor credit histories, depending on the circumstances surrounding the adverse credit.

A: Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that regardless of the option you choose, the overall cost of the loan will remain the same. Here, we break down the differences between retained, rolled, and serviced interest options in bridging loans.

Serviced Loans
Serviced loans involve paying the monthly interest of the loan until you exit. Opting to service the monthly interest requires proof of affordability. Clients must demonstrate their earnings through payslips, yearly accounts, and bank statements from the last three months.

For example:

Purchase Price (PP): £100,000
Lender Offer: 75% (£75,000)
Monthly Interest at 1% over 12 months: £750 per month (PCM)

In this scenario, you would receive £75,000 towards your purchase price, minus the arrangement fee (typically 2%).

Retained Loans
On the other hand, retained loans involve the lender deducting the total monthly interest for the entire loan term upfront. This amount is subtracted from the initial loan amount provided to you.

For example:

Purchase Price (PP): £100,000
Lender Offer: 75% (£75,000)
Monthly Interest at 1% over 12 months: £750 PCM
Total Interest Over 12 Months: £750 x 12 = £9,000

In this case, you would receive £66,000 towards your purchase price (£75,000 – £9,000), less the arrangement fee (typically 2%).

Rolled Interest
While not mentioned initially, rolled interest is another option available to borrowers. With rolled interest, the monthly interest payments are added to the principal loan amount and paid at the end of the loan term rather than being deducted upfront or paid monthly.
