Frequently Asked Questions

What is an urgent bridging loan?

An urgent bridging loan is short-term property financing designed to provide funds between a current transaction and a future sale, refinance, or other repayment event. It can help a qualified borrower buy a property before selling another, cover a temporary equity gap, or meet a fast closing deadline. Terms are commonly six to 12 months and may use interest-only payments during the loan period.
