Bridging Loans

Bridging loans are the fast answer to short-term property dilemmas. If you find yourself in need of cash in a hurry to finance a property deal, then a quick bridging loan providing short term bridging finance is an easy option.

OSL can arrange short term bridging loan finance for a wide range of residential and commercial property development transactions. Bridging finance is a particularly useful way of realising a property deal, or to ensure you don't miss out on a great opportunity.

OSL has arranged bridging finance for clients covering a wide range of circumstances:

It has allowed clients to go ahead with the purchase of a new home before they have completed on the sale of their existing house. This has proved vital in some instances to free the client from a house buying 'chain'.

Through having quick access to short term bridging loans, our clients haven't missed out on land and property auction bargains, particularly when buying for investment and commercial property development purposes.

Bridging loans have also been used to finance deals not directly involved in property purchase, such as making funds available to satisfy tax obligations, helping clients to make successful acquisitions in a management buy in and to provide corporate finance restructuring for companies in difficult situations.

Bridging finance is offered short-term (no longer than 12 months in most cases) and is much quicker to arrange than a standard residential or commercial mortgage. Funding can be available in a matter of days, even within 24 hours, depending on the circumstances.
