Bridging Loans in
London
In London a good deal rarely waits for slow money. We arrange short-term finance for commercial purchases, development sites, refurbishments and capital raising across all 32 boroughs, with decisions in hours and completions in days.
Local Market
London, Borough by Borough
London deals come in every shape: Mayfair offices, East London development sites, Canary Wharf commercial space, South London residential conversions and plenty in between. If the next deal is outside the capital, we also cover bridging loans in Brighton.
When speed decides it
Off-market commercial opportunities in the City or West End can need completing within days. Lots at the major London auction houses run to strict completion deadlines (typically 20 business days), and developers chasing sites in Nine Elms, Stratford or along the Old Kent Road need funding agreed before they bid.
Who we work with
Our London clients range from portfolio landlords refinancing HMO stock in Lewisham to investors buying mixed-use buildings in Shoreditch. The 158 lenders we compare include institutional capital, private funds and specialist London lenders who know one sub-market from the next. Some clients buy in their own name, others through a company or SPV; for the company route, see our guide to limited company bridging loans.
Higher values mean bigger loans, and we arrange London facilities from £200k to £100m+, including with lenders who won't appear on comparison sites.
