Answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about Bridging Loans…

What is a bridging loan?
A bridging loan is a short-term property-backed loan designed to help individuals or businesses access quick funding. It’s commonly used to bridge the gap between buying and selling a property or securing traditional mortgages.
How can bridging finance be used?
Bridging loans are versatile and can be used for:
• Buying a new property before selling your existing one (chain breaks)
• Auction purchases requiring fast completion
• Buy-to-let or investment property purchases
• Property development and refurbishments
• Lease extensions and otherwise unmortgageable properties
• Raising capital for business or personal needs
If you need fast, flexible funding, speak to us today to see how bridging finance can work for you.
What’s an exit strategy?
An exit strategy is how you plan to repay the bridging loan. Common exit strategies include selling the property or refinancing to a long-term mortgage. Lenders prefer clear exit plans to reduce risk, and having one can help secure better terms.
We understand that sometimes life isn’t this simple, so call us to discuss any complex situations and challenge us to find a solution.
How quickly can I get a loan?
While typically taking 3-5 weeks, bridging loans can be arranged in as little as a few days, depending on the lender, valuation, and legal work. With the right preparation, we can secure funding quickly so you can act fast.
Can I apply to a lender direct?
Some lenders allow direct applications, but with hundreds of lenders to choose from, each with their own pricing and policies; working with a specialist bridging finance broker ensures you get the best rates and terms. We also have access to exclusive deals not available to the public.
Can I have a bridging loan if I already have a mortgage?
Yes. Bridging loans can be taken as a first charge (if no existing mortgage) or a second charge (if you already have a mortgage in place). This allows you to keep your current mortgage while accessing additional funds.
Can I borrow 100% of a property’s purchase price?
Loan amounts are based on the value of the security property. Most lenders offer 75-80% loan-to-value (LTV), but 100% financing is possible if you can provide additional security, or if the property purchase price is lower than the open market value.
How long can I have a bridging loan for?
Bridging loans can last between 6 to 36 months, but they can be as short as a few days or extend up to 5 years in some cases. The loan term depends on your needs and exit strategy.
What’s the process to get a loan?
The key steps include:
1. Application & assessment – We review your needs, security property, and exit strategy.
2. We’ll then carry out an exhaustive outreach process, negotiating the best deal from our list of over 130 lenders.
3. Valuation & legal work – The lender arranges a property valuation and legal checks.
4. Approval & funding – Once approved, funds can be released in days, not months.

I started working with Jamie in 2018, when I was carrying out some small refurbishment projects.  He’s helped me grow my business and raise funds for larger and larger projects over the years, and now we’re working on multiple projects each year with loans of up to £5m.

North London | Property Developer and Investor

I was introduced to Xcel Finance by my architect.  I had been working with a lender on a large mixed-use development project, and had my main contractor ready to go; but the development lender let me down at the last minute…!

Thankfully, Xcel Finance were able to get up to speed incredibly quickly and arrange alternative funding… it was also a better deal than I originally had too.  I was working with Jamie and highly recommend him. 

West London | Property Developer and Investor

“Jamie made the process easy and supported us through the whole thing.  No challenge was too big and there was always a way through, around or over.  Thanks for your help it made a huge difference.  We would definitely recommend Excel Finance. 

Matthew | Property Developer | South Wales

We’re a letting agent who also own a large portfolio of buy to lets and we also do some refurbishment projects.  We used to have to speak to lots of different brokers for different projects and lending types… but now we just use Xcel Finance.

There’s nothing they can’t do and they offer great value for money. 

Letting Agent | Greater Manchester

“I was a building contractor for 20 years, and got tired of making money for other people.  I started using my own cash to buy and flip houses but the profits weren’t enough – I was going to give it up.  I spoke to Jamie at Xcel Finance and he helped me understand that with the same deposit I could borrow funds from a lender and build much bigger projects and significantly increase my profits.  It’s an excellent service.”

John | Property Developer | Essex

“I was amazed how quickly they were able to get my funding in place.  Great service. Would highly recommend Xcel Finance.”

Carol | Gloucestershire | Bridging Finance Customer

Excellent Exceptional Xcel. Jamie exceeded all expectations with such a cool and calming caring understanding nature, We were definitely an exception to the rule.

We cannot thank him enough for finding funding that has allowed us to finish a very special restoration of a listed building, (grand design dilemma, bank won’t lend money, owners despair)

He is forever in our thoughts, and has restored my faith in the whole financial world, I thought they were all against me, and was petrified of losing our home and all our efforts. Back to work, house to restore and get ready for sale.
