Bridging Loan Rates
Bridging Loan Interest Rates and Costs
Bridging loans tend to have higher interest rates than other forms of borrowing rates. This is because they are intended as a short-term finance option before longer-term funding comes through. Interest rates can vary from around 0.4% to 1.5% per month, depending on the lender you choose.
Bridging loan interest rates can be fixed or variable. Fixed rate interest is fixed across the term of the bridge loan, and all monthly payments are the same. Variable rate interest can change, usually in line with the Bank of England base rate.
There are a few ways to pay the interest. Rolled up interest is charged in full at the end of the loan term. Retained interest is borrowed for an agreed period and is paid back at the end of the loan. Monthly interest is paid monthly and is not added to the bridging loan balance.
Aside from interest, there are a number of additional costs to consider, including a lenders arrangement fee, which ranges from 0% to 2% based on the gross amount borrowed. However, there are lenders who don’t charge certain fees. We will recommend a product most suited to your situations taking all costs into account.
There are several factors that influence bridging loan rates, including loan to value, type of legal charge, type of property used as security, condition and location of security property, income and affordability, term of the loan, credit history, and cost and availability of funds to the lender.

Most frequent questions and answers
You can repay interest in 3 ways. You can either pay interest monthly in which it’s not added to your bridging finance balance, choose rolled-up interest where you pay all interest in full at the end of your loan, or pay retained interest and borrow the interest for an agreed period then pay it back at the end of the loan.
