Why Is It Important To Hire a Bridging Finance Broker?

Hiring a professional loan broker can make the funding process a lot easier because the products are inherently complex and all lenders are not very well known. Plus it is a free service to the borrowers (conditions apply).

You have probably heard that the best time to apply for a business loan is when you are not in a hurry. But unless you happen to be Warren Buffett, most of us aren’t that forward-looking. So as a property developer, you may find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing funding urgently for your project and there may be a problem arising and you not being able to get one despite your efforts. 

In such a scenario, you may want to consider the help of a bridging finance broker.

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Finance Broker

• Some bridging lenders will only deal with brokers and not direct with customers.  Therefore, working with a trusted broker means that you will have access to a wider range of lenders. 

• Bridging can be difficult and potentially confusing for someone without previous experience.  A broker can explain all of the terms which can affect a bridging loan and ensure that your application will be processed. 

• An experienced broker can negotiate on your behalf with lenders to get you the best rates and charges.  If the lender has repeat business from a broker, they are more likely to give more favourable terms than they would to you as their customer

• A broker can present your application in the best way to lenders and make sure that you have supplied all of the information that will be needed.  They can also help to explain any drawbacks that a lender may recognize in your application.  This can avoid you being turned down by lenders, which not only wastes your time but will have to be disclosed to any future lenders that you approach. 

• You can get on with your life at the same time as your broker does the leg work, chasing up the various elements such as valuations and legal, etc.  This will save you time and stress. 

• Knowing that you have received independent advice is key.  A professional broker will have a wide knowledge of the products available in the market and will negotiate hard on your behalf to make sure that you find the right deal to suit your project.
