FAQS

We’re here to help.
If you can’t find your question here contact us and we’ll get back to you.

What exactly is a commercial refinance bridging loan?

It’s a short-term loan secured against your property, providing quick access to cash. Many clients utilise it to unlock equity, restructure debt, or enhance cash flow while awaiting longer-term funding. Think of it as a financial stopgap that helps you move forward when banks are dragging their feet.

Want to know if your property qualifies? Talk to our bridging lenders today.

When does refinancing with a bridge make sense?

Usually, when time is tight, developers and landlords often refinance to release funds for a new purchase, to consolidate expensive borrowing, or to create some breathing room. For example, one client refinanced a retail block to cover refurbishment costs before switching to a mainstream mortgage once tenants were in place.

Can refinancing with LendFirst help you? Apply online today.

Which types of properties can I refinance?

Any commercial or investment property offices, retail units, warehouses, industrial buildings, hospitality sites, or mixed-use developments. Even if the property isn’t “perfect” by bank standards (i.e., it needs work), we’ll still look at the bigger picture.

Check your property’s eligibility — get a free quote online.

How much could I borrow?

Loan sizes usually range from £50,000 up to £5 million, with lending up to around 65% of the property’s value. So, if your building is worth £1 million, you could potentially raise £650k. For portfolios, we can often go higher by using multiple securities.

Find out how much you could raise; request a tailored quote.

How quickly can you arrange refinancing?

Speed is the real strength of bridging. At LendFirst, we can issue terms within hours and complete in as little as 7–14 days. Returning clients can often access funds even quickly. It’s a huge advantage compared to the months a bank might take.

Need fast funding? Apply with LendFirst today.

Do I need to put in a cash deposit?

Not normally. With refinancing, your equity acts as the deposit. For example, if your warehouse is worth £2m and the mortgage is £1m, we could consider releasing £300k – £500k, depending on the deal.

How much equity could you release? Contact our lending experts.

What do the rates and costs look like?

Bridging is priced monthly, typically ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% per month. In addition to the valuation, legal, and arrangement fees. The good news? Most clients choose to roll up the interest, meaning no monthly payments; it’s all settled when the loan ends. We ensure that costs are clear from day one.

Get a transparent breakdown — request your quote today.

Can I refinance if I’ve had credit issues or don’t have full accounts?

Yes. Bridging is more about the property value and exit plan than your credit history. Even with past issues or limited paperwork, a strong deal with a clear repayment strategy can still be funded.

See your options and apply now for flexible refinancing with our expert bridging lenders.

How do I repay the loan?

It’s repaid in one lump sum at the end of the term. Most clients either switch to a long-term commercial mortgage or sell the property. For instance, one landlord refinanced an office block for 9 months, then cleared the bridge once tenants moved in and a bank mortgage was secured.

Let’s map out your exit plan! Speak with the LendFirst team today.

What if my exit takes longer than expected?

A sale might be delayed, or a mortgage may take longer than planned. If so, we can look at extensions, re-bridging, or restructuring the facility. The key is to contact us early so we can keep your project moving forward.
