What is Unregulated Bridging Finance?
Unregulated bridging loans are not governed by the FCA, as they are used for commercial and investment purposes rather than personal residences. These loans offer flexibility and are ideal for property developers, landlords, and businesses needing short-term funding.
Who Can Benefit?
- Property investors & landlords purchasing buy-to-let or commercial properties.
- Developers funding renovation or refurbishment projects.
- Auction buyers needing fast finance for investment properties.
- Business owners securing short-term funding against commercial assets.
Key Benefits:
Fast and Flexible – Less regulatory restrictions mean quicker approval times.
Ideal for Investment Properties – Perfect for flipping properties or rental investments.
Higher Borrowing Potential – Often allows larger loan amounts compared to regulated loans.
Considerations:
🔸 No FCA protection – Borrowers must fully understand the terms and risks.
🔸 Requires a clear exit strategy, such as refinancing or selling the property.
🔸 Interest rates may be higher due to increased lender risk.
