What is an Open Bridging loan?

An open bridging loan is a short-term finance product that is used when a borrower doesn’t have an exact timeframe for settling a bridging loan. For example, if you need to raise money to buy a new home but need to sell another property in order to pay for the bridging loan and you don’t exactly know when the sale will go through, you’ll typically need to apply for an open bridging loan product.

Since open bridging loans are riskier from the lender’s point of view, the approval rates for this type of financing are lower than for closed bridging products. Actual borrowing costs may also be significantly higher if open bridge financing is required.

It is therefore important to present the finance application in the right way and to understand the bridging loans that will offer the most competitive interest rates. Speak to our bridging loan team today if you are in this situation and need some advice.

Who are Open Bridging loans for?

Open bridging loans are for situations where you are not certain of the timing of exit funding. If a borrower is relying on the sale of a property to pay back the loan, but doesn’t have a buyer in place, or is yet to fix a date for the completion of the sale, we can show you lenders that may be willing to offer open bridging loans with no fixed repayment date.

Note that open bridging loans are generally more expensive than closed bridging loans because of the heightened risk involved for lenders. If you are not sure whether an open bridging loan is right for you, then get in touch with Fast Forward Finance experts to discuss your options in confidence today. Get in touch for a discrete conversation with our bridging loan specialists on PHONEXXX.

Using an Open Bridging Loan to Buy Auction Properties

Open bridging loans can be used to buy a property that may only be available on the market for a short time, such as a property at auction. Your exit strategy may be a sale after the renovation of the property or getting a buy to let mortgage.

If you are unsure when the money from the sale of your property will arrive, or a mortgage approval is likely to occur, then going for an open bridging loan may be the best option. Bridging loans can be very useful when your mortgage provider is taking longer than you had expected to complete the mortgage.

How Open Bridging Loans Can Help Your Business

Open bridging loans can be used to buy business equipment or carry out business expansion plans with the assurance that the expected business profit will pay for the loan, or where the business owner is working longer-term finance options. As a business owner facing an unexpected financial crisis that requires an immediate but short-term liquidity injection, a bridging loan may help. This form of finance is usually secured against tangible assets, such as property.

An open bridging loan also makes it possible for you to conclude a vital transaction that may otherwise be difficult or impossible to complete. Bridging loans enable you to access cash and have some breathing space and time to organise long-term financing from banks and mortgage lenders, or to complete the sale of a property without time pressure.

How to get the right Open Bridging loan for your business?

Like all financial products, bridging loans are more appropriate for some applicants than for others. The key is to make sure that you take out a loan for the right reasons and that your exit strategy is solid. Taking a bridging loan without a viable exit leads to problems down the line.

Our bridging loan experts have the experience to help you avoid bridging loans mistakes. Our advisers will work with you throughout the process to ensure that the financial product you choose is right for you.

What’s the typical interest rate for an Open Bridging loan?

Interest rates on open bridging loans are normally a little higher than other financing options. Bridging loan interest is normally calculated monthly rather than annually. Interest rates typically start from as low as 0.43% per month, but there are also rates that are around 0.7% to 0.8% per month, with loan contract fees varying from 1.5% to 2%. Bridging loans don’t normally have exit fees, but make sure you are clear on all fees before you take a bridging loan.

Bridging loan’s interest rates and fees depend on the bridging loan lender, the amount lent, the equity level of the property, the credit history of the borrower, the exit strategy, and the specific loan circumstances. If you are unsure whether a bridging loan is right for your circumstances, call us on PHONEXXX and talk to us about your needs.

Understanding the fees involved in an Open Bridging loan

You may be required to pay fees in addition to the loan interest payments. At Fast Forward Finance, we do not charge you huge broker fees, and there are occasions when we do not charge anything at all, although this depends on whether or not the preferred lender can pay us a fee upon completion of the loan agreement.

Some associated costs that you should be aware of include a valuation fee for the surveyor who will value your land or property, an exit fee (for lenders that charge early exit fees) and a legal fee (which is generally paid at a fixed rate). Other fees may apply, so make sure you understand all the costs before deciding whether bridging funding is right for you.

What are the Term Lengths for an Open Bridging Loan?

An open bridging loan is ideal when you are not certain of the time you will get the funds you need to repay your debt. Unlike a closed bridging loan, which is only required for a short-term period with a fixed term, an open bridging loan is not expected to be repaid within a specific time frame. Open Bridging loans tend to last for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 18 months and up to 24 months.

If a lender has any doubts about the property you are securing the loan with or your exit strategy, they may go into more detail about your personal or business finances, credit history and want additional documents. Our team of bridging loan experts will be able to assess which lender is likely to fit your circumstances and will guide you on the documents you are going to need to provide.

What type of security can I use when applying for Open Bridging finance?

Open bridging finance is typically secured against property, such as the property you are buying or any other property that can cover for the value of the loan, including your residential property. However, the lender may also check your financial situation and credit history to determine if you are a credit risk. The lender will also require a viable exit plan.

If you are unable to meet your repayment responsibilities at the expiration of the loan term, you stand the risk of losing your property. Therefore, you have to be absolutely sure that a bridging loan is the right source of funding for you before you get committed. At Fast Forward Finance, we can look at your loan needs and offer expert guidance that will help you make the right decision.

The Benefits of Open Bridging Finance

One advantage of an open bridging loan is the flexibility of repayments. When you set up an open bridging loan, there is no fixed repayment date, making it easier for borrowers in uncertain financial situations. This is especially useful if you don’t know exactly when you can start making repayments or pay the full amount borrowed.

For example, if you need to take out a mortgage to buy a new home while waiting for the sale of your existing property to go through, an open bridge loan may be suitable for you. Unlike a closed bridging loan, you do not have to provide proof of planned payment date for an open bridging loan. However, you are usually still expected to pay off the debt within the lender’s specified maximum loan term. If you are interested in an open bridging loan, our team of experts can guide you on the options that may be available to you.

What can you use an Open Bridging loan for?

Open bridging loans can be used for a variety of purposes. The most common borrower is buying a property at auction, or has seen a great value property on listings on RightMove, and wants to be a cash buyer to speed the sale and provide bargaining power.

If you need an open bridging loan, we can introduce you to lenders with products that you may qualify for, and guide you through the application process.

No early repayment fees

Because we work with reputable lenders, most of the Open Bridging Loans organised by Fast Forward Finance do not attract exit or early repayment fees. However, some lenders may add additional fees. The loan can be used for the purchase, refinancing, release and refurbishment of commercial and residential properties, or for any other reasonable purpose.

Flexible or fixed-term payments

At Fast Forward Finance, we have helped borrowers with poor credit ratings and no proof of income. We look for bridging loans tailored to the individual circumstances and offer expert guidance to help our customers make the right decisions. That sometimes means using bridging loan lenders with flexible underwriting criteria. We can help you present a case for bridging finance to lenders and have them judge the business case on its merits, rather than them looking primarily at your personal situation. Whether you want flexible payments or fixed payments we can explain the options.

Fast Funding

We understand that a delayed bridging loan can jeopardise your transaction. Knowing this, we work hard to make sure that the lender releases the funds for your bridging loan at the earliest possible time. Most of our bridging loans are completed, with funds released to your account, in 7-21 days.
