The cost of a residential bridging loan depends on several factors: the security you offer, your plans for the property, your proposed exit strategy, and, most importantly, your lender. For straightforward, low-risk deals, interest rates can start from around 3%.

While a competitive interest rate is important, other factors often add greater value. The speed of completion, reduced documentation requirements, and the avoidance of placing assets under management can make a deal more advantageous overall.

Many clients opt to pay a slightly higher interest rate to secure a faster, smoother transaction, thereby avoiding the risk of delays or missed opportunities.

Residential bridging loans are suitable for both straightforward and complex transactions, allowing you to borrow substantial capital for residential property. These loans can often be arranged within one to two weeks. Lenders focus on the security you offer, your plans for the property, and how you intend to repay the loan.
