Bridging Loans
What is a bridging loan?
Bridging loans are used to “bridge a gap” by providing capital quickly until a more long-term and usually lower interest solution can be found. These loans can be used in situations such as paying for lease extensions, buying a property at auction, refurbishing a property before putting it on the market or paying for unexpected bills.
If you require short term finance that can be arranged within a brief timescale, a bridging loan could be the best option for you.
We can provide advice and guidance on the process of secured lending and taking out a bridging loan, so you fully understand the nature of the deal and feel protected at all stages.
Whether you’re a borrower looking to obtain finance or a lender looking to provide finance, our bridging finance team are well-placed to help you and can advise on all aspects of loan transactions.
Why use Rothera Bray for bridging finance?
We act for both borrowers and lenders and as a result are aware of the requirements of both sides.
We have significant experience of bridging loans so are appreciative of the urgency involved in obtaining this type of finance, and can work to tight timescales.
We will be transparent about our fees from the start and will ensure you are kept updated on any progress at all stages of your matter.
We can draft and advise on loan agreements, including drafting standard or more bespoke documents, which are often required when funding development projects over a certain period of time.
When acting for lenders we can assist with due diligence and draft/produce required documentation.
When acting for borrowers we work to satisfy the agreements and conditions of the lender and can review and advise on documentation.
We have connections to several independent financial advisors we can put you in contact with for obtaining a bridging loan.

I recently engaged Ewan Paton from Rothera Bray – he was approachable, professional, and genuinely understanding throughout a difficult time. He took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated at every stage, and always made me feel at ease. His calm and practical approach gave me great confidence, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. I’d highly recommend Ewan to anyone needing reliable and compassionate legal advice.

I was with another firm but as soon as I seen the reviews on this firm I changed to this firm. I cannot recommend this firm enough. I have had Gabriella and Hannah working on my case they are a credit to this firm also informing me on my case. Raising any issues immediately. Very polite and professional. I would recommend anyone using this firm.

Brilliant solicitors, very quick with responding to emails too, and helping with any questions you may have. I used Rothera Bray to buy my house, and honestly I can 100% recommend them. Very fast, professional! I would and will use them again in future. Thank you so much.

I can’t thank the team enough for everything they’ve done for me and my children. From start to finish, the whole company have been absolutely brilliant — always putting our needs and wishes first and supporting us every step of the way. Their communication, care, and understanding have been second to none. A special mention has to go to Emily, who is truly one in a million. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt heard, reassured, and fully supported throughout what was one of the most difficult times in my life. I’d highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a solicitor who genuinely cares about both you and your family. Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done.

I would like to send a big shout out to Anton Balkitis at Rothera Bray. Appearing at Court for me and handling the judges, knowing what to say and how to say it, is not something I could have done on my own. It felt good to have someone on my side that really knew their stuff. I highly recommend for anyone who needs a helping hand and wants the best outcome at Court.

I was very satisfied by the experience of asking the solicitors at Rothera Bray to assist my wife and I sell our property. They were most helpful, easy to liaise with and always gave excellent advice and service. I would recommend Rothera Bray without hesitation because of their professionalism throughout my interaction with them. First class!

My Solicitor (Georgina) meticulously reviewed all my details in the case, explained the process clearly and prepared a strong defence. I felt supported throughout the entire process and was very grateful for their guidance. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
