Global Bridging Finance was approached by a UK-based developer seeking fast financing to acquire and refurbish a prime office building in central London. The property, valued at approximately £7.5 million, presented a time-sensitive opportunity due to favourable market conditions and a motivated seller.

Traditional commercial lending options were unable to provide the required speed and flexibility. The client required a bridging loan that could be arranged swiftly, allowing them to secure the property and commence refurbishment immediately.

Leveraging our extensive network of specialist lenders, Global Bridging Finance structured a £4.8 million commercial bridging loan. The facility was secured against the office building, with a clear exit strategy via either refinancing or future sale. Remote valuations and coordinated legal processes enabled rapid approval, ensuring compliance and mitigating risk.

Indicative terms were provided within 48 hours of the initial enquiry, and funds were released within 16 days, meeting the client’s acquisition deadline. This fast execution ensured the client retained the competitive advantage of acquiring the property at the agreed price, avoiding delays that could have resulted in losing the deal.

This case highlights Global Bridging Finance’s expertise in delivering high-value commercial bridging loans under tight deadlines. By combining speed, market knowledge, and access to specialist lenders, we provide clients with tailored, efficient solutions that help them capitalise on time-critical property opportunities.
