How do bridging loans work?

The main difference between regular loans and a bridging loans is the time it take to organise the funding. It can take months for a regular lender to complete a deal, but bridging loans can be ready in as little as 72 hours.

Whether you take out open or closed bridging finance you may expect the following:-

The process

1

Ascot is provided with a summary of the deal, reasons for wanting a bridging loan, the security available and a clear repayment strategy.

2

Ascot will request relevant documents and underwrite the deal

3

Ascot issues an offer letter stating the terms of the proposed finance and what is required to be done to obtain that finance

4

Ascot instructs a Surveyor to provide a valuation report and will send necessary documents to your solicitor

5

Solicitor explains the terms and conditions of the loan

6

You sign all the documentation

7

Funds are released to the solicitor for legal completion

8

The bridging loan monies are sent to you
