“Masthaven have been dealing with Only Bridging for nearly 10 years. In that time their professionalism and “can do” attitude has been the driving force in their success. It is a welcome breath of fresh air that they are passionate about putting the client’s needs as their number one priority and strive to work with lender, surveyor and solicitor to get the deal completed in the most time efficient way as possible.”

R Deacon, Masthaven Bridging Finance

“Only Bridging made the whole process a dream – from start to finish – everyone I spoke to was so helpful and friendly, they made the application process completely smooth, no hiccups or mistakes that needed rectifying, and did all the processing and chasing for me, as well as finding me an amazing rate that no other company could beat. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!”

Rana

“I wanted to raise bridging finance to allow me time to sell my buy-to-let property at the market value rather than a reduced price for quick sale. I talked to a few possible lenders and Only Bridging were the only company that gave me an immediate and positive reply that they thought there would not be in an issue. I had no experience of bridging finance and Only Bridging illustrated and talked me through the process so it was clear and there was no confusion. The team at Only Bridging have been very quick to respond and communication was straight forward such that the process is swift. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and their service has been five star.”

C Bailey

“I was referred to Only Bridging for a very difficult case and the case was swiftly assessed with AIP issued. Valuation went smoothly and final terms issued culminating in a drawdown of the loan well within client expectations. Great service and updates were a regular feature so everyone knew who / where / what at all times. Thank you Only Bridging.”

Alan, ASD Finance

“Only Bridging provide excellent proactive service to their clients and key professionals. The team are always approachable and are keen to find solutions to any bottlenecks to ensure transactions do not get delayed. They are professional and friendly at all times and easy to work with.”

B Pindoria, Pindoria Solicitors

“I bank with a private client financial institution, and can say that all of the people I dealt with at Only Bridging exceed the level of service which I am used to. They approached every issue with a solution-oriented focus, and were effortlessly please, and a joy to deal with. I recommend them highly.”

T Beale

“It is always a pleasure to work closely with the team at Only Bridging. Only Bridging are always professional in their approach, and are always seeking to do their absolute best for all their clients”

CASE STUDIES

CASE STUDY – RAISING FUNDS
Mr F of Hull wanted to buy a farm in Yorkshire and had been offered a 75% mortgage but he did not have all the funds for the deposit. We managed to arrange a 2nd charge on his residential property and a 1st charge on an investment property he already owned. The funds we raised together with the money he already had gave him the money for the deposit and he duly completed on his dream home. Once the 2 properties have sold he will significantly reduce his new mortgage and clear off the bridges.

CASE STUDY – REFURBISHMENT
Mr R. of Oxford was looking to purchase a dilapidated property, Only Bridging organised this Bridge for him plus the funds required to then refurbish. This Bridge needed to be completed within days, and the property was then refurbished within his specified timescales. Mr R. then sold the property providing a significant return on his investment.

CASE STUDY – LAND
Mrs E of South Wales was looking to acquire a plot of land to build a property. The land was offered to them first as they are known developers locally. They needed to secure the funds quickly before the land owner placed the land on the market. Fortunately, the sale went through and the applicants went on to build a property which provided a significant return.

CASE STUDY – 2ND CHARGE
Mrs S. of St Albans had a property she resided in and needed to raise £50,000 to renovate another property quickly. Her first mortgage was with a High Street Lender and had a very good rate; although her credit history was exemplary she was going to find it hard to prove her income. We managed to obtain the money on a second charge bridge and rolled the payments up for the amount of the term resulting in her project completing, thus meaning she could eventually market the property for sale.

CASE STUDIES – DEVELOPMENT
Mr D. of Nottingham was developing 4 detached houses and had got to roof height but had run out of funds. We met our client on site and worked with him by releasing stage payments at agreed times which enabled him to finish the development, put them up for sale and realise the profit he had in the site.

CASE STUDY – DEVELOPMENT
We were approached by a Ltd company to fund a development in South East London; the company had already acquired the land and needed further funds to help with the development and completion of the site. We met with our clients and collected the necessary paperwork which was couriered to the relevant legal teams and the funds were made available within 48 hours.

What our partners are saying:

Only bridging have been working with Masthaven for some years now and both companies have a strong working relationship, our office enjoys working with Only Bridging as we know when a case comes in from them that it will fly straight through to completion
