Bridging Finance
There are a number of reasons to use Bridging finance and one of the main ones is that the client is not locked into a long term agreement. Bridging is a short term loan that is taken out to solve a temporary cash flow or financial problem. They are generally set up for repayment anywhere between one and twelve months, and are usually only given to home or property owners, being secured against the building or buildings that are currently owned. This can be used for any purpose. To pay off other debts, renovation, purchase a property at auction, purchasing a second property before selling the first etc. We advise proceeding with caution and only agree to a bridging loan if the client is certain they can repay within within six to nine months.

Mortgages
Mortgages, remortgages and further advances are available on Residential properties or Buy to Let properties or Commercial properties. They are a first charge against the property. Remortgages are available to get a lower rate of interest and reduce monthly outgoings. Homeowners who want to raise money for home improvements, buying a car or other purposes often find that a remortgage to raise the money is cheaper than taking out a personal loan or using credit cards. This is because interest rates on mortgages are amongst the lowest of all the different types of loans.
Homeowners may wish to raise money to consolidate other debts. By taking advantage of remortgaging your property you could transfer several debts into one more easily manageable remortgage.
This means you can replace credit card bills, personal loans and other loans with one lower interest rate remortgage and spread lower payments over a longer period.
It is important to note that there are costs attached to remortgaging such as redemption penalties. These need to be taken into account when you are considering a remortgage. It is however worth bearing in mind that often the benefits of remortgaging can outweigh the costs involved.

Commercial Finance
A commercial mortgage is the most popular type of mortgage used to buy building and land for business purposes. Aside from providing your business with a major asset that is likely to appreciate in value, a commercial mortgage offers a wide range of additional benefits. Depending on the terms of your mortgage contract, the repayments may be similar to your current rental payments, which means you won’t have to budget for additional property expenditure or rental increases. In addition, the interest that you need to pay on the mortgage is tax-deductible and, if you have more room than you need, it may be possible to sub-let some of the space – with an agreement from your lender of course!
