If bridging finance is a little scary or you're unsure how the product works, when to use it and how it can benefit auction purchases, property flips and BRRR (Buy refurbish refinance) investing structure then this video helps dispel the myths about bridging fees, interest, early repayment charges and the net advance structure on UK property.
Should you get a buy to let mortgage rather than a bridging loan? Is a bridging loan the same as cash? This video explains everything.

    Great content as always, Matt!, but it would have been far more useful/helpful for youngers out there to show the real income, not just percerntage wise, like other youtubers show the income report from YT and other sources, being transparent especially with YT earning will go on to show that is is doable for all young youtubers out there, my opinion, though. Keep up the great work.

    Hi Matt, if you're interested in an auction property do you make sure you have a bridging loan in principle beforehand and do you employ a solicitor/structural surveyor beforehand? Many thanks for considering my question.

  • @MattBrighton

    @MattBrighton

    Жыл бұрын

    You could get the bridging loan groundwork done before the auction - it would have to be on the specific property, however it's hard mainly because the sale price might change from what you told the bridging lender (sort of making it useless if you need to borrow more). But it's good to talk to a broker and get your details all registered and assessed - might save a day or two which is a lot in a 30 day deadline. Solicitor - it's good to make sure you have a solicitor ready who can do auction purchases. Surveys - depends on the property, I'd never get a survey on a property I don't own. Especially on auction where prices can go crazy, there's no guarantee you're going to get it. So you have to trust your eye if you do a viewing that visually it looks ok.

    Writhing the coming months personal house is going to sell for £850,000 cash would it be a good idea in the meantime to get a bridging loan to get a £250,000 house then pay it all of once personal property is sold.

    Does the bridging loan cover refurb/fit-out costs? or would you have to put up 25% deposit for the bridging loan and also cover the costs of renovation in a house flip or BRRR

    Hi Matt, does it matter if you apply for bridging finance through a Ltd company or as an individual? If it’s through a company, I don’t understand how it works. Is it applied through the director?

    It'll change your options slightly as the products are specific to individuals VS companies. They'll still look at you as the 'ultimate beneficiary owner', just legally speaking on the paperwork a few different things are required. They might also ask for some kind of personal guarantee that if the company doesn't pay it back, you individually still would pay it back.

    I could do - however it could possibly give me a black mark against lenders as it's essentially mis-using a financial product as the mortgage shouldn't be used for a flip. You could get away with it, but it's like saying you could drive around the M25 at 80mph and you might not get caught by a speed camera :) There's a risk with doing that

    Yes you'd still need to fund likely 25 - 30% deposit. You can only get 100% bridging for example on developments with planning where land is unmortgaged. I might be wrong / new products out there but that's my general understanding.
