The bridging market has bifurcated into two distinct segments: high-volume, technology-driven lenders who can process straightforward residential bridges very quickly at competitive rates, and specialist bridgers who handle complex situations — title issues, non-standard construction, unusual tenancies — where mainstream options fall short.
Interest on bridging loans can be structured as retained (deducted from the gross loan advance), serviced (paid monthly), or rolled up (added to the loan balance). Retained interest is most common for short-term facilities, while rolled-up interest suits longer-term bridges where you want to minimise monthly outgoings during a refurbishment or planning period.
Second-charge bridging is available for borrowers who have existing mortgage debt and need additional capital without disturbing their first-charge facility. This is particularly useful for experienced landlords who want to release equity from their portfolio to fund acquisitions, without refinancing their existing, often favourably priced, mortgage.
The South West combines strong lifestyle appeal with genuine development demand, particularly in Bristol — now established as the UK's most competitive regional city for tech and professional services employment. Housing affordability pressures in Bristol and Bath are pushing demand into surrounding towns, creating opportunities for developers across Somerset, Wiltshire, and Gloucestershire.
