Property Finance
Understanding your finance options is the key to scaling. Learn about mortgages, bridging, development finance, joint ventures, and creative funding strategies.
Finance Options for Property Investors
Traditional Mortgages
Standard BTL and residential mortgages from high-street and specialist lenders. 75-85% LTV, assessed on rental income or personal income. The most common starting point.
Learn more →Bridging Finance
Short-term loans (3-18 months) for speed. Ideal for auction purchases, refurbishment projects, and chain-break situations. Higher cost but faster completion.
Learn more →Development Finance
Staged funding for ground-up builds and major conversions. Covers land purchase and construction costs, released in tranches against a QS schedule.
Learn more →Joint Ventures
Partner with others — one provides capital, the other provides time/expertise. Structure via a JV agreement with clear roles, profit split, and exit terms.
Private Lending
Borrow from private individuals (friends, family, investors) who want better returns than savings accounts. Secured against property with a legal charge.
Pension-Backed Lending (SSAS/SIPP)
Certain pension structures can lend to connected parties for commercial property purchases. Complex but powerful for long-term investors.
