A bridging loan is short-term secured finance designed to bridge a financial gap, most commonly between buying a new property and selling an existing one. They are secured against property or land and repaid as a lump sum, typically within 1-18 months.
You apply with details of the property being used as security and your exit strategy (how you will repay). The lender values the property, makes an offer, and if you accept, funds can be released within days. Interest is usually rolled up and repaid at the end rather than paid monthly.
For property you or your family will live in. FCA regulated with consumer protections. Rates from 0.4%/month.
For investment or commercial property. Faster, more flexible, fewer restrictions. Rates from 0.45%/month.
Sits behind an existing mortgage. Higher rates but preserves your current mortgage deal.
Borrow £300,000 at 0.75%/month over 6 months. Total repayable: ~£317,500. Your rate depends on your circumstances.

Reading is one of the UK's most significant technology hubs outside London, earning the nickname 'Silicon Valley UK' for its concentration of global technology companies, Microsoft, Oracle, Huawei, and PepsiCo all have major UK headquarters in the town. The city's proximity to London via the Elizabeth line and its location at the heart of the M4 corridor make it an attractive base for businesses needing London access without central London costs. Reading's financial and professional services sector is also substantial, supporting a high-wage economy with some of the strongest GVA per head figures outside the capital. With 18k registered businesses across South East England, Reading has strong demand for competitive bridging loans.
Funding availability depends on the business and finance required in the South East England area. Whether your Reading business needs auction property purchases or chain break and house purchase, lenders assess each application individually.
Several specialist lenders on our panel work with Reading businesses that have imperfect credit histories. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender. Check your options when you apply.
