Quick decisions for simple bridging cases

Here at MHBS, providing bridging finance is one of our specialisms. We can quickly turn around your straightforward cases and provide a helping hand to find a successful outcome for your more complex cases.

We use AVMs where possible and have a dedicated bridging underwriter who you can contact directly – you can find out more about Marcus below.

Even faster decisions for simple cases

Recently we received an application from a client who was looking to purchase a property which was part of a chain, with a tight completion deadline. We used an AVM and secured the funds against her current residential property, which helped us turn around the application quickly. By working closely with the intermediary, we agreed a mortgage offer in under two weeks, which meant the client hit the deadline and secured the property she wanted.

Bridging finance for a variety of scenarios

Our bridging finance solutions cover a range of scenarios and, depending on the exit strategy, most are considered simple, including:

• Downsize
• Buy before you sell
• Complete an existing property development
• Fix a broken property chain
• Buy and refurbish your new home before moving in
• Refurbish your house before selling
• Re-bridge

We can also provide bridging finance to clients looking to build a property, in the garden or on a plot, and stage drawdowns are available. These cases are more complex, but we’re experienced in providing a helping hand to find a successful outcome. You can find out more by visiting our bridging finance product page.
