bridging both ends of the northern line
Property investors looking to take advantage of current London property prices may well consider pondering over both ends of the Northern line for a bargain. Both Barnet and Morden offer scenic and serene vistas of the nationās capital whilst providing an easy commute to central London. And to make it even sweeter, house prices are around or below the regional average.

bridging the finance gap to take advantage
2019 saw a massive slow down in property sales as owners were waiting for an election/Brexit conclusion. So as we kick off 2020, and with the election out of the way, many are expecting to see an upswing in properties coming onto the market.
To make sure investors donāt miss out on any property opportunities as they arise, we offer fast and flexible bridging loans to suit all needs. This form of short-term financing has become ever popular with investors looking snap up bargains as they appear before either arranging a longer-term form of finance or to flip the property in a short period of time.
After an initial enquiry, we can provide terms for a bridging loan within hours, with full funding in place within days. This is ideal both for traditional purchases and buying property via an auction. A bridging loan can range between Ā£50k and Ā£10m. We offer up to 70% LTV on terms between 1 and 24 months, with no up-front fees, exit fees or ERCs. We will take a view on all applications, so adverse credit, CCJs and arrears will be considered. As well as this, there is no credit scoring and no personal guarantees are required.
