When to use a bridging loan in Lewisham

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

Auction purchases

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

Chain break finance

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

Property refurbishment

Finance a refurbishment project in SE13 that a standard mortgage lender won't touch until works are complete.

Unmortgageable properties

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

Development exit

Bridging loan FAQs — Lewisham

How fast can I get a bridging loan in Lewisham?
In many cases, bridging loan funds for Lewisham 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 SE13 auction purchases where you must complete within 28 days.
What deposit do I need for a bridging loan in Lewisham?
Most bridging lenders require a minimum 25% deposit (75% LTV) for Lewisham 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 SE13 bridging requirement.
How much does a bridging loan cost in Lewisham?
Bridging loan interest rates for Lewisham 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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham?
Yes — bridging loans are available for both residential and commercial properties in Lewisham. 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 SE13 and Greater London.
Can I get a bridging loan with bad credit in Lewisham?
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 Lewisham property as security and a clear repayment plan, we can often find a suitable lender from our panel.
