Large Bridging Loans

How much can I borrow?

Unlike many providers, we can lend with no strict upper limit. Through our access to the whole market, including specialist lenders and private funding lines, we can fund your enquiry, no matter how large.

We classify anything over £1,000,000 as a large loan.

We can offer loans up to 75% loan to value (LTV). Where refurbishment will be taking place, we can usually also lend the cost of the works.

Do your funders have a set criteria?

We work with numerous lenders, all of whom have different criteria for lending.

As the loans become larger, applications tend to be underwritten on a bespoke basis. If an application makes good business sense, we can probably lend.

Can I get a better deal if I’m borrowing more?

Yes, you’ll usually benefit from lower arrangement fees and may also achieve lower interest rates.

These points are usually negotiated individually.

Standard arrangement fees are usually 2% of the loan amount. This would usually come down to no higher than 1% on larger loans.

If your application is particularly urgent, get in touch now and one of our specialist advisers will be able to get your application moving immediately.

How do large bridging loans differ from smaller loans?

There are a number of specialist lenders who offer larger loans, often to applicants with more complex personal circumstances.

Although most lenders will accept loans between £5-10,00,000, it may be better to use a lender who specialises in larger loans.

This is because this level of lending to one client can be seen as a large risk to some lenders and, as such, the process can become difficult.

As the size of the loan increases, the amount of due diligence required by the lender will generally also increase.

Regardless of the lender chosen, we will assign you with an expert who is experienced in dealing with larger loans to manage your application from start to finish.

You will be able to speak with your advisor from start to finish throughout the process. Where your planned exit route is refinance, they can also help with your remortgage application.
