Bridging loan news and guides for landlords and property investors

The page gathers together news articles and guides on unregulated bridging loans. It caters specifically to landlords and property investors.

Bridging loans serve as a versatile financial tool for accessing cash secured against property. You can raise money quickly – in as little as 48 working hours. You can also benefit from the flexible criteria of a bridging loan, whether to seize opportunities at property auctions, fund renovations, or temporarily cover business expenses.

Be aware that the bridging loans we arrange are not for your home or future home. ‘Unregulated’ bridging loans hold this status because they are for business activities only. Investors using them are expected to be aware of the risks they present and so do not require the consumer protections offered by their regulated alternative.

Through our news articles and comprehensive guides, we aim to keep landlords and investors keep up to date with changes in the bridging loan landscape. We also share knowledge to help you navigate this dynamic borrowing solution and how to make best use of it.

From understanding the application process and assessing eligibility criteria, to evaluating the risks and rewards associated with these loans, our content aims to give you all you need to know about bridging loans, including the differences to their regulated counterpart.

We go beyond the basics to explore advanced strategies and best practices for optimising the use of unregulated bridging loans in various scenarios.

Whether landlords are looking to expand their property portfolios, capitalise on market opportunities, or navigate business cash-flow challenges, our pages on bridging loans serve as a resource hub for unlocking the potential of this type of borrowing.
