Meeting Payments with Retained Interest Bridging Loans
Some bridging loans facilitate borrowers making payments more easily by keeping the interest until the end. This means that a 12 month bridging loan for £300,000, using retained interest, you would pay £54,000 at the end of the loan term.
These type of loans are ideal for borrowers who have a clear exit strategy in mind but cash flow problems in the interim.
Example Bridging Loan Arrangement Fees
Using an average of 1%, arrangement fees for a 300k bridging loan could total another £4500
Exit Fees Example
Some lenders charge exit fees, which are generally about 1%, or another £4500 in the example given.
Valuation Fees Example
Property Valuation fees are not covered by this example. An average property company might charge around £750 to value a £500,000 property.
Legal Fees
Again, these will vary widely depending on the type of legal firm you are using. You should expect a fee of at least £2000 for legal services provided in setting up a bridging loan.
