Chain broken? Keep your purchase on track.
Chain break bridging for property investors, landlords and businesses who need to complete a purchase before a sale goes through. A straightforward view of what's fundable, usually the same day.
When a sale stalls, the purchase is at risk
You've agreed to buy, but the sale you were relying on has slowed down or fallen through. The seller won't wait, the deadline is close, and the deal you want is about to go to someone else.
A chain break bridge lets you complete the purchase now and repay the bridge when your sale completes. You keep the deal and sell on a sensible timescale, not a forced one.
Buy now, sell properly
Security
The bridge can be secured on the property you're selling, the one you're buying, or both. Using both often means you can borrow more and need less cash upfront.
Exit
The sale of your existing property repays the bridge. Lenders want to see that the sale is realistic, with evidence of value and a sensible asking price.
Cost
Interest is usually rolled up or retained, so there are no monthly payments, and it stops as soon as the bridge is repaid.
