How to Apply for Property Bridging Finance

Applying for property bridging finance is a complicated and time consuming affair, and one that is probably best left to a professional finance broker. If you are serious about actually applying yourself by approaching lenders directly, then the steps outlined below will help you to prepare you.

Firstly you are going to need to organise some documentation that will need to be sent in support of your property bridging finance application. You are going to need to arrange for a set of fully audited company accounts to be produced; these will need to be audited by an impartial party. The second document you will need to have made up is a business plan, this will need to demonstrate that the company has a strategy in place to meet the loan repayments, along with some form plan to resolve the problem of the loan running to full term before the exiting property you own is sold. You may also be required to disclose information about company shareholders, directors and officials.

Once you have the preparation of the documentation in hand, you need to start looking around for a lender. The best option would be to approach a finance broker at this stage, although it is possible to find lenders and products without the assistance of a broke. Your accountant may also be able to help you locate the right kind of product for your needs. Once you have a selection of products to choose from, you need to begin the application process for each of them. You will be required to present the application and supporting documents to each lender, it is also highly likely that each separate lender will require the documentation to be supplied ins a slightly different format, so be prepared to revise and change the documentation based upon the requirements of the lender.

Once you have begun the application process with a range of lenders, you will need to monitor the situation very closely. This can be a logistical nightmare and is another way in which hiring a finance broker would be of great help. There are likely to be issues arising with your application, and potential problems which could prevent you from receiving an offer for property finance, and in this situation a finance broker is an invaluable part of your team.

As we can clearly see, applying for property bridging finance is far from simple, it is very highly recommended that you seek out a professional and knowledgeable finance broker from the outset, your time is valuable, why waste it when a finance broker can make the application for you far more efficiently? A good broker will advise you on how best to create the required supporting documentation, and will be on hand to guide you through the entire process from start to finish; they will also be on hand to deal with any issues or problems which may arise during your application for property bridging finance.
