This video specifically focuses on bridging loans for property investors. What is a bridging loan you might ask? - A bridging loan is a type of short-term finance that can be used to 'bridge' the gap between two financial transactions. For example, if you're a property investor and you're looking to buy a property before you've sold your previous property, a bridging loan could be used to finance the purchase. At Big Property Finance, they provide bridging loans for residential and commercial properties to those who need immediate access to capital and have been unsuccessful in obtaining a mortgage or financial support from the bank. 🔑
