FAQS

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

Can I refinance or “re-bridge” an existing bridging loan?

Yes.

Refinancing an existing bridging loan (often called re-bridging) is possible and sometimes necessary. At LendFirst, we provide short-term residential refinance loans when your current facility is about to expire, or your original exit strategy has been delayed. By moving onto a new bridging loan, you gain the breathing space you need to complete a sale, arrange long-term finance, or release equity without pressure.

Learn more about LendFirst residential refinance loans.

What is re-bridging and how does it work?

Re-bridging means replacing one bridging loan with another. Property sales, refinances, or refurbishments don’t always go to plan, and re-bridging provides extra time to complete the process.

At LendFirst, we review your updated circumstances, exit strategy, and property security before structuring a new residential refinance loan. This ensures you can move forward confidently, without the risk of default on your existing facility.

Apply for a LendFirst refinance bridging loan.

Why would I refinance a residential bridging loan?

There are several reasons. Some clients need more time to sell a property, others want to release equity to fund a new purchase, and some face delays in arranging long-term mortgages. Residential refinancing gives you the flexibility to restructure debt, improve cash flow, or secure funds for your next move.

At LendFirst, we tailor refinance bridging loans to meet your specific needs, allowing you to stay in control in a fast-moving property market.

How much can I borrow when refinancing a bridging loan?

The amount you can borrow depends on the property value, the loan-to-value ratio, which is usually around 70% LTV, and the strength of your exit strategy.

At LendFirst, we provide residential refinance loans secured against single homes or full portfolios. Whether you’re borrowing £100,000 to release equity or several million for multiple properties, we’ll work with you to agree a realistic, structured solution.

What are the costs of refinancing a residential bridging loan?`

Like standard bridging loans, refinancing involves interest plus fees such as arrangement, valuation, and legal costs.

At LendFirst, we keep things transparent, with no hidden surprises. Costs vary depending on the property type, loan size, and term. Whether it’s a short-term refinance on a single property or a complex portfolio, we’ll provide a clear breakdown before you commit.

What criteria does LendFirst look at when refinancing a bridging loan?

Every case is unique, and we assess each case on its own merits. We consider the property, your equity, and, most importantly, your exit plan.

Even if your original strategy has changed, we’ll look for ways to make refinancing work. Our aim is always to provide a solution that’s practical, achievable, and aligned with your goals.

Discuss refinance criteria with LendFirst. Contact our expert lenders.

How long does it take to refinance a bridging loan?

We know deadlines matter. While a mortgage can take months, a LendFirst refinance bridging loan can often be agreed in 48 hours. In urgent situations, returning clients can access funds even quickly. That speed gives you confidence that your current loan won’t expire before the new financing is in place.
