Author: Alan Kimber

Scenario
We supported a broker with a customer who needed to:
- Secure a main residence purchased at auction within a strict deadline
- Access short term funding before moving onto a residential mortgage
- Manage a full valuation requirement within a compressed timeline
Timing was tight, and the broker needed speed and certainty.
Outcome
We provided:
- Loan amount: £620,000
- LTV: 70%
- Product: Standard
We used a streamlined legal process with joint representation to keep momentum. The valuation was prioritised to avoid delays and maintain the completion window.
The exit was refinance, allowing the customer to move onto a residential mortgage and secure their first home.
Why it worked
Speed where it mattered
The case moved from decision in principle to completion in 10 working days, meeting the auction deadline.
Flexible approach
Joint representation reduced legal friction and supported a faster turnaround.
Structure aligned to the deal
The bridging loan acted as a clean stepping stone between auction purchase and long-term finance.
Broker advantage
The broker delivered on a high-pressure deal and secured a positive outcome for their customer.
