What Affects Your Bridging Loan Rate?

Understanding the factors that influence your interest rate

Property Value

Higher value properties typically secure better rates due to lower risk for lenders.

Loan-to-Value (LTV)

Lower LTV ratios (more deposit) result in better rates as they reduce lender risk.

Loan Term

Shorter terms often attract better rates as they reduce exposure for lenders.

Exit Strategy

Clear, achievable exit strategies help secure more competitive rates.

Property Condition

Properties in good condition or with refurbishment potential may get better rates.

Borrower Profile

Experience, credit history, and financial strength all influence the rate offered.

Bridging Loan Rates FAQ

Common questions about bridging loan rates and costs

What are the typical bridging loan rates in 2024?

Bridging loan rates typically range from 0.45% to 1.25% per month, depending on the loan type, property value, and borrower profile. Residential bridging loans usually start from 0.45% monthly, while commercial and development finance can be higher.

How do bridging loan rates compare to mortgages?

Bridging loan rates are higher than traditional mortgages because they're short-term loans with higher risk. However, they provide speed and flexibility that mortgages can't match, making them ideal for time-sensitive property transactions.

What fees are included in bridging loans?

Typical fees include arrangement fees (1-3% of loan amount), valuation fees (£500-£1,500), legal fees (£1,000-£2,000), and exit fees. Some lenders allow fees to be added to the loan amount.

Can I negotiate bridging loan rates?

Yes, rates can often be negotiated, especially for larger loans or borrowers with strong profiles. Working with an experienced broker can help secure better rates through their lender relationships.
