Perfect for time-sensitive situations

Bridging loans are designed for when speed matters more than anything.

Chain break

Your buyer pulled out? Don’t lose your dream home. A bridging loan lets you buy before you’ve sold, keeping the chain alive.

Secure your purchase
Sell without pressure
Repay when your sale completes

Unmortgageable property

No kitchen? No bathroom? Structural issues? Standard lenders won’t touch it. Bridging lenders will—then refinance once it’s renovated.

Buy properties others can’t
Fund the renovation too
Switch to mortgage when habitable

Quick purchase opportunity

Found a bargain that won’t wait? Need to move before a competitor? Bridging lets you act fast when opportunity knocks.

Beat other buyers
Negotiate from strength
No chain = attractive buyer

Real people who needed bridging finance—and got it.

Our buyer pulled out a week before exchange. Thought we’d lose our dream home. Albot found bridging finance so we could complete without a buyer. Sold 6 weeks later.

Bought a wreck that no mortgage company would touch. Bridging loan funded the purchase and renovation. Now it’s worth £80k more and I’ve remortgaged normally.

Bridging loan questions, answered

Everything you need to know about short-term property finance.

What fees will I pay?

Our broker fees are only payable on completion—if you don’t proceed, you don’t pay us. The lender will charge arrangement fees and interest (we show you these upfront). You will need to pay for a property valuation, which is required before funds can be released. We’ll give you a full breakdown before you commit to anything.

How quickly can I get funds?

Typically 7-14 days from application to funds in your account, though urgent cases can sometimes complete faster. The main variables are how quickly the valuation can be done and how fast your solicitor can work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.

What’s the exit strategy?

Every bridging loan needs a clear exit—how you’ll repay it. Common exits include: selling a property, refinancing to a standard mortgage (once the property is habitable or you’ve sold your old home), or funds from another source. Lenders will want to see your exit plan is realistic before approving.

Can I borrow against an unmortgageable property?

Yes—this is one of the main reasons people use bridging loans. Properties without kitchens, bathrooms, central heating, or with structural issues often can’t get standard mortgages. Bridging lenders will consider them, allowing you to buy, renovate, then refinance to a normal mortgage once the work is done.

How much can I borrow?

Most bridging lenders will offer up to 70-75% of the property value, though some go higher. The amount depends on the property, your exit strategy, and your overall financial position. Chat with Albot and we’ll tell you exactly what you could borrow for your specific situation.
