What Are The Pros of Bridging Loans from MT Finance?
Speed - The speed of funds is the main benefit of using bridging finance, with deal completion often within an average of 1 to 6 weeks. When compared to a typical mortgage that can take weeks and months to get a decision and complete, MT Finance can usually give indicative terms on a bridging loan within 24 hours.
Our goal is to help streamline the process for you as quickly as possible, whilst carrying out all essential checks on you and the property. So, if you have a property that is sought-after or being purchased at an auction, our team is ready to help you complete as fast as possible.
Become a Cash Buyer - With bridging loans, you are converted into a cash buyer, allowing you to avoid the traditional delays associated with property chains and helping you to complete on a property immediately. With chains often being the main reason that a property purchase is delayed, you can avoid a lot of headaches to complete the deal as soon as you can - making it ideal for property buyers, developers, and investors.
Flexible Borrowing - Bridging finance reviews every candidate on a case-by-case basis, making it far more approachable than mainstream banks and lenders. MT Finance is able to take an individual view on a customer, their property and their history, which results in providing more bespoke terms for you and your project. With the option to borrow large sums over 1 to 24 months, we are pleased to offer a flexible arrangement to suit your requirements.

What Are The Types of Bridging Loans?
Open - With an open bridging loan it means that the end date or repayment date is not yet finalised. Your exit might be to renovate and sell the property at a higher price, but the date is not yet confirmed. In most cases you will be required to pay back the loan within 24 months or refinance at this point under different terms.
Closed - With a closed bridging loan, you will have fixed terms and a clear repayment date. This could be from buying a property through an auction, purchasing a new home before being able to sell your own one or even transforming a property and renting it out through buy-to-let.
First or Second Charge - MT Finance can offer bridging loans by way of first or second charge. As first charge, this takes priority as the first payment to be collected from the property each month. As the second charge, this is the second priority when it comes to repayments against a property. If you have an existing mortgage, your bridging loan will typically be your second charge, also known as a second mortgage.
Fixed or Variable Interest - A bridging loan will have either fixed or variable rates, whereby the rates you are charged will stay the same throughout the loan term (fixed) or they are variable and will change during the loan term.
Bridging Loan Example
Our client required £128,009 to undertake a heavy refurbishment on one of their rental properties which included a loft conversion, downstairs extension, and a renovation throughout. Within 2 weeks, we delivered a second charge bridging loan of £128,009 against their additional rental property at 37.8% loan-to-value over a 12-month term.
