Bridging Finance for Property Refurbishment

Bridging finance can be an invaluable tool for funding all types of property refurbishments and renovations. Issued in the form of a short-term secured loan, bridging finance is ideal for 'bridging' temporary financial gaps at an affordable price.

If you are interested in funding a property refurbishment of any kind with bridging finance, call the team at bridgingfinance.com anytime for an obligation-free consultation.

A refurbishment bridging loan (or bridge loan) is a specialist type of bridging loan issued specifically for renovation and refurbishment projects. Property refurbishment bridging loans differ from development finance in that the funds are released in a single lump sum and the eligibility criteria are far more flexible.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can a decision be reached?

Bridging finance for property refurbishments can be arranged within a few working days and with no upper limits on how much can be borrowed, charged at an interest rate as low as 0.5% per month. The full balance on a refurbishment bridge loan is usually repaid six to 18 months after the loan is issued, either upon the sale of the property or by transitioning the loan to a longer-term repayment product.

Why choose a refurbishment loan?

The main benefits of bridging finance for renovations and refurbishments are the speed and simplicity of the facility. Bridging finance can be arranged in a matter of days, making it ideal in time-critical situations with strict deadlines. In addition, there are no specific restrictions on how refurbishment bridging finance can be used. The loan itself can be secured against almost any type of property, including the kinds of non-standard (aka unmortgage able) properties mainstream banks are unwilling to lend against.

Repaid promptly, a low-cost bridging loan can be a uniquely affordable facility. Applicants with poor credit and/or no formal proof of income can also qualify for bridging finance if they have assets of sufficient value to provide security for the loan. The applicant's home (or business property) is typically used as security, enabling them to borrow up to 80% LTV against their equity.

What separates light refurbishment loans from heavy refurbishment loans?

Bridging loans for property refurbishments are typically separated into two main categories:

  • Light refurbishments: A light refurbishment bridging loan will typically be issued for non-structural refurbishments that are predominantly cosmetic in nature. This includes all types of interior and exterior decorating, along with electrical wiring, central heating systems, and so on. The installation of a new kitchen or bathroom could also be considered a light refurbishment, depending on the extent of the work required and the total costs of the project. As a rule of thumb, refurbishment projects with total costs of less than 15,000 GBP and with no planning permission required fall within the light refurbishment category.
  • Heavy refurbishments: Most property improvements and renovations calling for planning permission are classified as heavy refurbishments, irrespective of the total costs of the project. Examples of this include property extensions, some types of loft or garage conversion projects, the removal of supporting walls, and repurposing properties. Most refurbishments have total project costs of more than 15,000 GBP, but there are instances where lower-cost renovations may also be classified as heavy refurbishments.
