The term “large bridging loans” refers to a loan of a minimum of £3 million. Borrowers can use this loan in many different ways for property in Wales and England. These include: 

• Residential properties
• Commercial properties
• Semi-commercial properties
• Newly-developed properties

This type of loan is frequently used for buying property assets, for example, a property portfolio of low-value properties or a single Prime London property. The client can, therefore, enjoy greater flexibility when it comes to “bridging the gap” and taking advantage of other opportunities. It allows them to carry on making new transactions or purchases while they wait for a different asset to refinance out, be sold, or until long-term finance can be arranged.

A large bridging loan will start at £3 million with us and will not have an upper limit. However, Madison Carter Finance allows clients to borrow sums from just £500,000 if they prefer. The amount a client can borrow depends on how much they require, their liquidity, and the asset value they are borrowing against. Typically, the maximum LTV (Loan To Value) is 75% gross, but it may be as much as 85%.

All the specialist loans we offer are accessible to people whose financial records are less-than-perfect. That includes CCJs, missed payments, and bankruptcies. The lender’s underwriters assess your application for a large bridging loan on its own merit, taking the overall economic picture and wider market into account. In order to ensure transparency, all underwriting is done at the outset, with agreement to the terms at an early stage. That means you’ll be aware of how your financial background will impact your funding as well as your repayments. It is important to us that you know your position and are able to move forward confidently.

Here at Madison Carter Finance, we will work just as rapidly as our clients. In some cases, funds are available within three working days. Our turnaround is just four hours when responding to enquiries, so you can have confidence that somebody will give you the answers you need. 

Is There A Higher Rate Of Interest On High-Value Bridging Finance?

Your loan’s interest rate varies depending on several elements, including: 

• Base rate changes
• Wider economic movements
• Equity position
• The valuer’s comments
• Asset liquidity 

Typically, though, large bridge loans will not have a higher rate just because of size. The asset’s liquidity, sponsors, background assets, and asset holding structures all have a part to play. 

It is always our aim to ensure the process remains simple for borrowers, so we will give you the key figures you require in order to make a well-informed decision. 

Our bridging products and large loans are unregulated, so you can live in the property as your main residence or the loan must be for business purposes.

The process is the same as that for repaying any other kind of loan, and you will execute on your exit strategy.

Initially, you should discuss your possible case with the BDM team. The contact page will help you find the most suitable communication method for you, from email, telephone, or live chat to a scheduled callback.

The primary benefit of obtaining high-value bridging finance is that you can use it to make complex, larger purchases rapidly with no need to be held up by high-street lender criteria. 

You can, therefore, seize opportunities quickly to avoid missing out and have some extra breathing room so you can put a traditional finance facility in place. 

Borrowers can use large bridging finance if they wish to pursue a fresh opportunity that requires a loan with a value over £3 million. Borrowers can then use this loan to purchase property portfolios, single large assets, or to exit an existing Development Finance facility, among other scenarios such as business purposes.

Borrowers are able to buy different property types in Wales or England using their large bridging loan, from large rural houses to refinancing luxury homes in a prime location. They may be used for a variety of property uses, too, for example, to help purchase a hotel, shopping centre, or buy-to-let residential property. As so many different properties are acceptable, it is best to contact the Madison Carter Finance team in order to discuss requirements.

Essentially, eligibility all comes down to your own personal circumstances, but in the case of large bridging loans in particular, the property the borrower intends to use as security has to have a minimum value of £3 million. We offer other bridging loans, however, for different loan sizes and circumstances. These are available to: 

• Ultra-high net-worth individuals
• Foreign investors (whether an individual or company)
• High-net worth individuals
• Limited company structures
• Property investors
• United Kingdom ex-pats

We require certain paperwork depending on individual cases. These may include: 

• The large bridging loan’s purpose
• Evidence of how you will use the loan
• Exit strategy details 
• Whether the property is being purchased by a company or an individual.
• Information about the security property, including its purchase price or value, full address, any outstanding balances, whether it is vacant or tenanted, and its yearly or monthly rental income. 
• An asset and liability statement. 

Other documentation may also be necessary.

Only the size of the loan differs between the other loans we offer and large bridging finance loans. All other aspects, from the required documents and underwriting process to the speed at which we complete the deal, are the same. Just like the other loans we facilitate, borrowers can make well-informed decisions about the interest payments that meet their specific circumstances. Usually, clients’ circumstances are more complex. 

The exit strategies for large bridging finance are refinancing away from the large bridging loan or selling the asset.
