Advice bridging loans - any positive experiences?


Recommended Posts

Hello


I just wondered if anyone has used a bridging loan to buy a property while waiting for their house to sell. We are selling a house, but our buyers pulled out near to completion. I am keen not to lose the house we were buying and wondered if a bridging loan might be the solution.


Can anyone recommend any bridging loan companies or perhaps a financial adviser or even any other ways of securing the house we want to buy? (If that's possible!)


Thanks for any advice you can give.

Cheers

Kate

Hello, when you go for bridging it's because you haven't got any other options! You just need to look at the terms, the interest rates (high) and how long you're going to need it for + have a watertight plan for repaying at the end of the term. You can use a FA but some of these loans you can do yourself and save a ?1,000+ that way. I would say study the terms and if you're confident you can pay the rate for that short term + the cost + know you can pay it off at the end of the term and cover their solicitors fees + you think its worth it to secure a property you really like then try it. They will look at your case and decide whether you are a low risk for them also.

    • The difficulty with all the national shame is that you are handing the world to the right wing populist parties ("The flag, love it or leave it").  You can look at many if not most of Europe for the damage their colonial conquests did to much of the world. For Britain we could equally look at partition and the impact on the Indian subcontinent, 10 million plus death and the bonkers situation with India and Pakistan now.  Spain and Portugal went much further in wiping out much of the population of South America.  i understand that Stalin was less.  We all know about the Third Reich, even then perhaps the allies could have done more. I am not questioning what you say, but sadly most are only concerned about the present and don't care about sins of the past. And back to my earlier comment that some will point out other 'conflicts' attracting much less interest. Not a reason not to march tomorrow

    • I'm interested to know why you say that? They both sell the same kind of thing, they both have own brand products, and unless I've got it completely wrong, they both seem to be trying to attract the same kind of customer? I would have thought a Waitrose and an M&S so close to each other would have split the customer base (?not sure of the correct term) for both of them? People might shop in both, but I'd have thought each store would still lose out on sales?
