- Financing refurbishment or repositioning projects

Who Uses Bridging Loans?
Maslow Capital’s bridging finance is tailored to experienced developers, property investors, and corporate borrowers who require short-term liquidity to execute on their business strategies.
Our borrowers typically include:
- Property developers acquiring or refinancing sites prior to obtaining development finance.
- Investors seeking to purchase investment properties, portfolios, or assets with value-add potential.
- Property companies that require capital for repositioning, refurbishment, or restructuring.
- Funds and corporates seeking to use real estate holdings for commercial opportunities.
Since bridging loans are secured against property, they offer borrowers a fast and flexible source of capital that sits comfortably within their wider investment or development strategy.
When Are Bridging Loans Used?
Complete a Property Transaction Quickly
Bridging finance is designed for its speed of execution. With the ability to complete property transactions in weeks rather than months, it enables property professionals to capitalise on opportunities that would otherwise be missed under traditional funding routes.
Acquire Land or Property Subject To Planning
Bridging can be used to acquire land or assets awaiting planning permission. Once planning is secured, borrowers typically refinance onto a development facility or longer-term funding solution.
Refurbishments or Repositioning
Bridging provides a convenient solution for light to heavy refurbishment projects, allowing borrowers to add value to a property before selling or refinancing. Once the building works are complete, many borrowers transition into a term or buy-to-let facility.
Distressed or Vacant Assets
Maslow’s team understands the complexities of acquiring distressed, vacant, or non-income-producing assets. Our bridging loans offer a logical approach to funding these opportunities, often finding value that others may overlook.
Time-Sensitive Commercial Opportunities
For businesses or investors needing to seize an opportunity before long-term financing is arranged, bridging finance provides short-term liquidity using real estate as security.
