No. We do not charge up-front fees for our Regulated Loans and our terms are detailed in a European Standard Information Sheet (“ESIS”) which is provided to our broker partners upon request to explain to their clients without delay.

Our regulated loans are available for up to 12 months by first or second charge on residential owner-occupied property.

A regulated bridging loan is required as short term solution, if you’re borrowing against a residential property occupied by the borrower or their family member, while non-regulated loans can be used for buy-to-let and commercial property.

Our regulated loans are available to individuals and partners. Our bridging loan specialists review each proposal individually to ensure accurate delivery of your regulated short-term loan.

You can borrow from £250,000 up to £3.5m secured against a first charge owner-occupied house or flat or from £250,000 up to £2m against a second charge owner-occupied house or flat.

Yes. We provide regulated bridging finance across the UK including England and Wales.

Loans can have fixed or variable rates.  At Alternative Bridging we offer both first and second charge loans. (please refer to our lending terms and criteria above)   Whether we offer you a first charge or second charge loan will depend on what the repayment priority is if you default on a loan.

For example, if you take out a regulated loan on buying your next home, but still have a mortgage on your existing home, your mortgage will act as a first charge loan against your existing home. Or if you would prefer a second charge bridging loan, your bridging loan may act as a second charge loan on your existing home. This means your mortgage will take priority if your home is repossessed.

Alternatively, you can use a bridging loan to pay off your mortgage, in which case the bridging loan then becomes the first charge loan against your existing home.
