How fast can FastBridge Funding approve a bridging loan?

FastBridge Funding can provide same-day quotes, 24-hour pre-approvals, and full approval within 48 hours for straightforward cases. Our fastest completion time is 5-7 days, compared to the industry average of 10-14 days.

Can you really complete in 7 days?

Yes, for straightforward residential bridging loans under £750k with clear exit strategies, we regularly complete in 5-7 days. For more complex cases (commercial, high-LTV, or unusual structures), completion typically takes 7-14 days, still faster than most competitors.

What if I need funds in 48-72 hours?

For urgent cases under £300k with strong security and clear exit, we can sometimes arrange funds within 48-72 hours using our fastest lenders. Contact us immediately to discuss your specific timeline requirements.

How do your speed guarantees work?

While we can't guarantee exact completion dates (as legal work and valuations are outside our control), we commit to: same-day quotes, 24-hour pre-approvals, and fastest-possible processing. We'll be transparent about realistic timelines from day one.

Does speed mean higher rates?

Not necessarily. Our large lender panel means we can find competitive rates even for fast completions. Speed-focused lenders often offer rates from 0.41% monthly, comparable to slower lenders. The key is matching the right lender to your scenario.
