     ROLLED UP INTEREST  
    The interest is rolled until the end of the loan or taken off the loan advance
     MONTHLY INTEREST PAYMENTS  
    You pay us monthly like a standard mortgage
     ARE THERE ANY UPFRONT FEES?  
    As a lender we incur costs in setting up your loan and we pass these costs onto you. These can include application, legal and valuation costs.
     We provide bespoke quotations in all instances detailing these costs exactly.

     DO I NEED MY OWN SOLICITORS?  
    Yes. As a lender, we have our own solicitors who carry out our own legal due diligence for us. But we always ask all of our borrowers to take independent
      legal advice with their own solicitors.

    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO ARRANGE A LOAN?  
    Experience tells us 48 hours to ten days, dependent on the complexity of your case and whether it is a first or second charge.
    WHY SHOULD I DEAL WITH YOU RATHER THAN AN INTERMEDIARY, E.G A MORTGAGE BROKER OR IFA?  
    We are the lender. We underwrite and make all of the decisions on your loan ourselves. There are various factors, both regulatory and legal, which affect
     most loans we encounter and we have substantial knowledge in dealing with all of them. You will also save not having to pay an intermediary a fee to refer
     you to ourselves.

     WHY WOULD YOU USE ANOTHER LENEDER IF YOU WERE A PRINCIPLE LENDER?  
    Yes occasionally it is in the client’s best interest for us to use one of our financial associates as we can often achieve preferential rates. Clients do not
     incur any additional costs as the third party lender covers them.

     I HAVE A BAD CREDIT HISTORY, ARREARS OR CCJ’S DOES THIS AFFECT MY ENQUIRY?  
    As a responsible lender, we take all factors into account in considering an application, including the reason(s) being adverse circumstances.
     Adverse credit and circumstances need not prevent you from obtaining a loan.

     I AM SELF EMPLOYED OR HAVE NO ACCOUNTS DOES THIS MATTER?  
    Again, as a responsible lender, this need not prevent you from qualifying for a loan, but we would wish to discuss these aspects of your application with you.
     Can a Limited Company take out a bridging loan? Yes, but the Directors will be required to give personal guarantees.

     CAN I USE THE PROPERTY THAT I DO NOT OWN AS A SECURITY?  
      Yes, but the property owner must be party to the loan as well.
