Refurbishment Bridging Loans
A refurbishment bridging loan is a practical way to access funds for property improvements that add significant value. From updating a kitchen, bathroom, and redecorating, to more substantial structural renovations, this short-term finance option helps bridge the gap before reselling or potential tenants moving in.
At KSEYE, we provide refurbishment bridging loans to homeowners, landlords and property investors looking to increase the value of their properties, especially when traditional high-street lenders are unable to offer support.
Why a Refurbishment Bridging Loan?
Refurbishment bridging loans are designed to support a wide range of improvement projects, helping to increase the value of a property ahead of resale or long-term financing. Depending on the scale of the works, projects typically fall into either light or heavy refurbishment categories.
Light Refurbishment
These are non-structural improvements where the cost of works is less than 25% of the property’s value. These include:
- Installing a new kitchen and bathroom
- Redecorating and cosmetic upgrades
- Replacing windows, flooring or doors
- Minor electrical or plumbing updates
- General repairs and maintenance

Heavy Refurbishment
These involve structural changes or when the cost of works exceeds 25% of the property’s value. The typical use cases are:
- Extensions or loft conversions
- Reconfiguring internal layouts
- Structural repairs or underpinning
- Full rewiring or plumbing overhauls
- Converting a single dwelling into multiple units (subject to planning)
