BRIDGING FINANCE
Although expensive compared to traditional mortgages, bridging loans fulfill a very important role, often filling a gap where a standard mortgage provider has no appetite. Of course, if there’s another more cost-effective solution, we’ll find it!
Bridging finance can be used for many reasons, but the most common we find are:
- Chain break: Suppose you’re in the middle of selling your existing home and buying your new home. The person buying your home pulls out. What do you do? Bridging finance allows you to buy the new property BEFORE selling your old property. There’s a lot that needs to be considered before deciding to do this, but it does work and we regularly see it being used very successfully.
- Property renovation: You find your ideal property, either as an investment or to live in. The property needs work and you’re prepared to take that on. You apply for a mortgage and the lender refuses you the money because the property needs too much work. This can be extremely frustrating as the whole reason for buying that particular property is because it needs work! Again, bridging finance helps allowing you to renovate the property to the standard you have in mind. Once finished, you can either sell the property or replace the bridging finance with a standard mortgage, depending on what your plans are.
- Downsizing: What if you’ve lived in the ‘family home’ for decades and have long since paid your mortgage off. You long to downsize and have found a particular street you want to live on but properties in that area come up for sale very infrequently and usually sell again very quickly. Bridging finance allows you to act quickly to secure your new property (often without deposit) before you’ve sold your original family home.
- Portfolio expansion: Skilled investors are often able to find properties and have low offers accepted through a process of careful negotiation with the property owner. We have access to bridging providers who will be able to lend up to 100% of the purchase price, no deposit required!
Not all bridging loans are regulated by the FCA

TESTIMONIALS
“Kew Property Finance was recommended to us by our estate agents so this is the first time we have used this service. We have been more than happy with how quick and stress free the whole process has been. Rob Kewley has gone over and above what we would expect from a financial services company including liaising with vendors, solicitors and others, we would definitely recommend him to anyone. We will also be using his services again if needed in the future.
“Rob has been our financial advisor through the process of signing two mortgages recently, one buy to let and one for our main property. He knows the market inside out, has never done ‘the hard sell’ which we really appreciate and is very good at staying in touch and keeping us up to date with where we are in the process. He’s also likeable and thoroughly professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to appoint Rob for financial advice needs in the future.
“We’ve used Rob several times in the last 5 years and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He’s extremely professional and helped us find the best mortgage solution to fit our needs. Along with Rob’s expertise he also has an extensive network of industry contacts which was hugely beneficial to us when we were purchasing both of our properties. The trust that we have in Rob is implicit as we know that he has our best interests at heart, I will not hesitate to pick up the phone to him for our next house move.
“I have used Rob from Kew Property Finance on several occasions including for property purchases and remortgages on both residential and buy to let properties. He has always given great advice and has provided an excellent service throughout the process.
