Bridging Finance London specialises in crafting bespoke bridging loan solutions for Richmond’s diverse property landscape. Our extensive network of over 200 lenders, including private banks and individual investors, enables us to offer competitive rates and flexible terms tailored to your specific requirements.
Bridging loans are short-term financing options designed to cover the gap between property transactions. They’re particularly effective in Richmond’s dynamic market, where swift decisions can be crucial. Whether you’re planning to renovate a period property, acquire a buy-to-let investment, or need funds for a business venture, we’re here to assist.
We provide loans up to 80% loan-to-value (LTV), and in certain cases, we can extend to 90% LTV. This high level of funding can be essential in Richmond’s premium property market, where property values often surpass the national average.
Richmond’s property market is renowned for its blend of historic and contemporary properties, ranging from riverside apartments to spacious family homes. With average house prices considerably higher than the London average, bridging finance can be a vital resource for property transactions in this affluent area.
