When to use a bridging loan in Cambridge

Bridging finance solves time-sensitive property problems that standard mortgages cannot.

Auction purchases

Bought at auction in Cambridge? Bridging finance lets you complete within the 28-day deadline while your long-term mortgage is arranged.

Chain break finance

Avoid losing your Cambridge purchase because of a slow chain. A bridging loan lets you buy now and sell later.

Property refurbishment

Finance a refurbishment project in CB1 that a standard mortgage lender won't touch until works are complete.

Unmortgageable properties

Properties in Cambridge without a kitchen, bathroom, or with structural issues can be purchased with bridging finance and refinanced after renovation.

Development exit

If your Cambridge development is complete but hasn't sold yet, exit finance bridges the gap until units are sold or refinanced.

Business cash flow

Unlock equity in your Cambridge property quickly to fund business opportunities, tax bills, or time-sensitive investments.

Bridging loan FAQs — Cambridge

How fast can I get a bridging loan in Cambridge?
In many cases, bridging loan funds for Cambridge properties can be released within 7–14 days. For straightforward cases with clean title and a clear exit strategy, some lenders can complete even faster. This makes bridging ideal for CB1 auction purchases where you must complete within 28 days.
What deposit do I need for a bridging loan in Cambridge?
Most bridging lenders require a minimum 25% deposit (75% LTV) for Cambridge properties. Some specialist lenders offer up to 80% LTV for strong cases. The interest rate typically improves with a larger deposit. We search the market to find the best terms for your CB1 bridging requirement.
How much does a bridging loan cost in Cambridge?
Bridging loan interest rates for Cambridge properties typically range from 0.55% to 1.5% per month depending on the LTV, property type, and exit strategy. There is usually an arrangement fee of 1–2% of the loan. We compare rates across our lender panel to find the most competitive deal for your situation.
What is an exit strategy for a bridging loan?
Your exit strategy is how you plan to repay the bridging loan. Common exits for Cambridge properties include: sale of the property, refinancing onto a standard mortgage after refurbishment, sale of another property in your portfolio, or expected funds from a business transaction. Lenders require a clear, credible exit before approving the loan.
Can I get a bridging loan for a residential property in Cambridge?
Yes — bridging loans are available for both residential and commercial properties in Cambridge. Regulated bridging loans are used when the property will be lived in by you or an immediate family member. Unregulated bridging is for investment properties. We advise on both types across CB1 and Cambridgeshire.
Can I get a bridging loan with bad credit in Cambridge?
Yes — some specialist bridging lenders focus on the property value and exit strategy rather than credit history. If you have adverse credit but a strong Cambridge property as security and a clear repayment plan, we can often find a suitable lender from our panel.
