Regulated short term loans

Regulated bridging loans fall under the protection of the FCA and can be either first charge or second charge.

In both cases at least 40% of the property must be currently or going to be lived in by the property owner.

Regulated bridging loans can be used for chain breaks, to raise cash or refurbish a property.

We also have lenders with no age restrictions. So, if a client has had equity release declined based on the property, we can help them raise cash to bring the property up to date, using the Equity Release as an exit strategy. There are no monthly repayments no its not assessed on affordability from a lender’s perspective.

Non regulated short term loans

If your client is securing a loan for a limited company, an investment property, a commercial building, or for a buy-to-let it will be a non regulated bridging loan.

Non regulated bridging loans can be used for purchasing land for the purpose of obtaining planning permission before a development, purchasing properties at auction and purchasing and refurbishing a property for resale.


Don’t forget – non regulated cases go through a lot quicker and you will receive a more generous commission than standard mortgages, so it will be beneficial to identify these opportunities within your existing client bank.


Say goodbye to the word “bridging” and hello to “short term loans”!

For some clients, just the mention of the word bridging loan and the stigma attached to it may be enough to switch some off.

Afterall, no one wakes up in the morning and thinks “I really fancy a bridging loan today”, but by painting the picture of a short term loan being the way your client achieves their goal of not losing out on moving into their dream home, purchasing a new rental property at auction, completing on a lifetime mortgage, becoming a landlord – the list is endless.

Why not use “short term lending” in your next client conversation and see if it works?!
