Bridging Finance
A short term bridging loan is a fast and easy method of raising finance. In most cases this is typically used to purchase a property at speed, purchasing at an auction, refinancing another loan, refurbishments or to increase short term cash flow. Bridging is used when timing is essential and the borrower has a clear repayment exit strategy.
There are an ever increasing number of ways where short term bridging products are used to fund a client’s needs. We have an abundance of lenders to work from with the widest selection of rates in the market place. Our lenders can be mainstream or alternative avenues through our family office network, private banks, and high net worth individuals where we can attain the best solution to each requirement.

Development finance is used for land purchases with planning for residential, commercial or mixed-use buildings. Lenders will base the loan amount upon its merits and take the developers history into consideration along with the security you are able to provide and the build costs involved. Repayment of development finance is likely to be from the proceeds of sale or subsequent refinance of the development.

VAT Finance
VAT on a commercial property purchase is a major consideration when purchasing. Many lenders will not usually offer loans over 60% LTV which means that 40% in equity is required, as well as standard acquisition costs ranging from between 5 – 7%.
On top of these outlays, the purchaser has to provide a further 20% for the VAT, payable on completion. This additional, sometimes overlooked, cost can pose a significant problem – which jeopardises the deal.
Although the VAT is later recovered from HMRC, reclaiming the money can take up to three or four months, devastating cash flow for the buyer.
