Development & Bridging Finance

Development & Bridging Finance

Property purchases and development projects do not always fit the timescales of longer-term borrowing. BFS can help you explore development and bridging finance, depending on what you need to fund and how you plan to repay it.

Development finance

Development finance can support the purchase of land and the costs of a residential or commercial building project. It may be used for new builds, conversions or refurbishments. The funding required will depend on the project, its costs and the planned timescale.

Bridging finance

A bridging loan provides short-term funding while you wait for another source of funds to become available, such as the proceeds of a property sale. A clear plan for repaying the loan is an important part of considering this type of finance.

Our team will discuss your property, project budget and repayment plans, then explore suitable options from our lenders. We can help you understand which type of funding may fit your requirements.
