What you need to know about Bridging Loans

Clearwell can provide a variety of bridging loans to suit your requirements
Bridge to Develop

Bridging loans allow developers to move quickly and acquire sites without having to go through a traditional development finance provider which can be time consuming. Bridging loans can also allow developers to implement value add strategies before committing to a full development finance package.

As a specialist development lender we are ideally placed to provide bridge to develop loans.

Exit Bridges

Exit bridges allow developers to refinance projects that are nearing completion and release some of their profits prior to all the units being sold. Utilising exit bridges allows developers to move onto new projects whilst the sales process completes.

Second Charge Bridging Loans

A second charge bridging loan is a loan that sits alongside an existing property mortgage. If you have enough equity in the property to secure additional borrowing against it, you may be able to take out a second charge bridging loan. If you have no mortgage or outstanding debt on your property, a bridge loan can be your first charge loan.

Understanding what bridging loan is best suited to your requirements is where we come in. With efficient and friendly experts to provide advice and guidance for your project, we can ensure that you get the necessary funding to achieve your goals.
