Bridging Pitfalls to Avoid
Bridging loans are powerful tools, but without the right plan they can quickly become costly. Common mistakes include:
No clear repayment route – without a planned sale or refinance, you risk expensive extensions or forced sales
Leaving finance too late – delays in arranging bridging can cause missed deadlines and lost deposits
Overlooking lender criteria – some lenders reject certain property types or conditions, causing wasted time
Underestimating costs – arrangement fees, valuations, legal costs, and exit fees all need to be factored in
Using bridging as long-term finance – it’s a short-term solution; the longer it runs, the more it costs
Understand your objective – and match you with a lender who can deliver on time
Prepare a lender-ready case – avoiding delays caused by incomplete applications
Run legal and valuation steps in parallel – compressing timelines
Plan the exit on day one – so repayment is smooth and predictable
