Flexible Refurbishment Bridging made Simple

We recently delivered a £630,000 residential bridging loan at 70% LTV, supporting a borrower in acquiring a property in Forest Gate, East London, with a clear plan to complete light refurbishment works and enhance the asset prior to sale.

Why it Worked

With a clear plan to add value through light refurbishment and exit via sale, we were able to structure a straightforward bridging solution that aligned with the borrower’s strategy. Speed, flexibility, and a common-sense approach ensured the deal progressed smoothly from start to finish.

Strong collaboration with the broker also played a key role in overcoming minor challenges and maintaining momentum throughout.
