A bridging loan is a short-term loan designed to help you bridge the gap between buying a new property and selling an existing one. Unlike traditional mortgages, bridging loans offer fast access to cash with minimal upfront costs and flexible repayment terms. A Smart Money bridging loan can be a great option if you need to move quickly on a property purchase or renovation project, or if you are looking to invest in property without committing to a long-term loan.
