WHAT IS A BRIDGING LOAN
A bridging loan is a short-term financial solution that helps you secure a property, complete a purchase, release equity or begin a development project when timing is important. Unlike traditional mortgages, bridging loans are designed to be fast, flexible and focused on the property and the exit plan rather than your income.
