Fast funding through unregulated bridging loans in support of professional landlords; for when investment opportunities come knocking.

Why Shawbrook?

We know that when a property pops up at auction, or needs renovating, you need access to finance – and quickly. 

Our intuitive systems allow you and your broker to receive an instant application in principle, while our practical bridging loan solutions are tailored to your needs:

  • Interest can be rolled up or paid monthly
  • No early repayment charges
  • Most property types are accepted, including complex residential or commercial

So whether you’re converting a property into a HMO, refurbishing a property for a quick sale or to rent, or just want to take up an investment opportunity quickly, we have the bridging loans that can support your investment ambition. 

Bridging Loan highlights

  • Rates from 0.69% per month
  • Loans from £50k to £25m
  • Up to 85% LTV available
  • Term up to 24 months
  • No minimum term or interest period
  • Fixed rates and fees
  • No minimum income requirement
  • Dedicated team offering a premium case management service for loans over £2.5 million

Any property used as security, including your home, may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

Lending for refurbishment costs

Access all your funds upfront for light refurbishment works (up to 85% LTV) with our Lending for Refurbishment Costs product that can be added to your bridging loan.

* This offer only applies to Shawbrook Buy-to-Let mortgages, commercial mortgages and bridging loans. In certain circumstances, such as cases involving complicated ownership structures like on/offshore trusts, or for ex-pat customers, a broker fee may apply given the level of work required.
