Most property types are accepted, including complex residential or commercial

So whether you’re converting a property into a HMO, refurbishing a property for a quick sale or to rent, or just want to take up an investment opportunity quickly, we have the bridging loans that can support your investment ambition.

Grow your portfolio with Shawbrook

For us, tailored and sustainable lending is driven by building long-term relationships that empower us to help fuel your plans for growth. As a result, we can offer an indicative umbrella limit based on our understanding of your portfolio and long-term expansion plans. As the market evolves, having flexibility and confidence can be crucial, allowing you to make the most of opportunities when they come knocking*.

*Indicative umbrella limits are not a guaranteed source of funds or a commitment to lend. They serve as a helpful guide to our lending appetite when you are looking to expand your portfolio with us.

Stay with us

We offer Buy-to-Let and Commercial Mortgages so you can seamlessly switch to one of these products when your bridge comes to an end.

For existing customers, we also offer a 0.25% discount on your arrangement fee for each subsequent mortgage that you take with us.

Interested?

Contact us today, and with your consent, we will transfer you to one of our trusted mortgage broker partners. The broker will research the mortgage market and if Shawbrook has the best deal for you, they will not, in most circumstances, charge a broker fee*. We will pay commission directly to the broker when the loan completes; usually this is a percentage of the amount you borrow from us.

* This offer only applies to Shawbrook Buy-to-Let mortgages, commercial mortgages and bridging loans. In certain circumstances, such as cases involving complicated ownership structures like on/offshore trusts, or for ex-pat customers, a broker fee may apply given the level of work required.

Development Exit Finance

Property development projects sometimes need to be extended beyond their original terms.

If your existing finance is coming to an end, our development exit loans offer short-term flexibility to help you navigate unexpected delays, extend the marketing period or raise funds for a new project.
