Fees, Costs  & Interest Rates Payable?

When taking out a bridging loan there are a number of fees and costs that you will need to take into account with Bridging loans and not just the interest rate that is agreed between you and the lender, these will include legal fees for the lenders solicitors and also the cost of a valuation for the property, because bridging loans are a Short Term Finance product very often the loan is paid back quickly and the actual interest paid on the loan becomes less than the actual fees associated with the loan so you should always look at the overall deal that is on offer and weight that up against how long you think the loan will be outstanding for, bridging loans are used when you have an urgent requirement for a loan and you are not able to get one from another source.

 

A Property is used to secure the loan, this is because the lender can take possession of the property if the borrower should default on the loan, because the lender has security they can often offer better interest rates than would be available to you with a personal or unsecured loan, also bridging loans can be for far more than any personal loan, personal loans tend to go up to a maximum of £30,000 whereas this is the minimum amount for a Bridging Loan with no upper limit on the amount that you can actually borrow.

 

The only limiting factor is the amount of equity that you have in the property you intend to offer the lender as security for the loan and also what the valuation is against the loan to value that the lender is offering. Whatever your reasons for a bridging loan be it to make a quick property purchase or to release equity it pays to compare all of the deals on offer to you and check the fees and rates carefully including any default rates a lender would charge if you cannot pay the loan back within the agreed loan term, also if they would offer an extension of time to you if you were not in a position to repay the loan on time.

 

What Interest Rates are payable?

 

The interest rates payable on a bridging are wide and varied, with so many lenders competing for their share of the market it really does pay to shop around and compare all of the rates on the market, the things that determine what rates you will be offered are outlined below.

 

Loan to Value

 

This is the biggest deciding factor that will determine what rate is on offer bridging lenders base the amount they charge in interest on the level of risk that they would associate with the loan so if for instance they are lending 50% LTV say £100,000 against a property value of £200,000 the rate on offer is going to better than say a loan at 75% which exposes the lender to far more risk, so the higher the loan to value that you are looking for the more interest you will be charged.

 

Charge Type

 

Bridging loans are non-status and available as either a first or second charge, obviously a first charge means the lender has first call, on the asset should anything go wrong and as such they have a higher level of security than any other debt that has been registered behind them, this means that a first charge loan is always going to be the cheapest when it comes to interest rates, with a second charge the lender sits behind the first charge when it comes to getting their cash back from any sale of the property, consequently a second charge bridging loan because of the greater risk associated with it is going to carry the biggest interest rates.

 

Property Type

 

The final item that will affect the rate of interest you are offered is the Type of Property you intend to offer the lender as security for the loan, the preferred type is residential which will attract the best rates, this is due to the fact that should anything go wrong a residential property is always going to sell quicker than a commercial one and will most likely be an easier sell as commercial properties often involve leases and tenants that can affect the price when it comes to selling the property, so commercial and semi-commercial are priced at the upper level when it comes to interest rates being offered on the loan.

 

Interest rates vary from 4-12% per month on Bridging loans but with so many factors affecting Bridging Loan Interest Rates on offer to you-you should always talk to a broker who will advise you on the best rate for your circumstances when taking into account all of the factors around your requirement.

 

Valuation.

 

Valuations fees are payable to a surveyor who will be appointed from a panel of surveyors that the lender uses to value properties that they wish to lend against, all lenders will want a valuation before making a formal offer on your loan, two types of valuation are available for a low value loan without any complications they would carry out a simple desktop which means they will check out similar properties for sale within your area and also go through sold data to see which properties have actually sold for rather than the prices being asked, for a higher value loan the lender is more likely to ask a surveyor for a more comprehensive valuation this will involve a more detailed report with a site visit and include 90 day valuations, obviously this type of valuation is more expensive.

 

Valuation fees tend to start at as little as £200 for the first £100,000 and then you should factor in at least £150 for each £100,000 of the valuation, note you will agree to the amount the surveyor is charging before you instruct them and it pays to ask the lender if you can have quotes from 2-3 Surveyors as their rates can vary considerably.

 

Legal Fees

 

All bridging Companies will expect you to pay their legal fees these are the fees that they will incur as a result of you taking out a bridging loan, the amount they charge you really depends on the size of the loan, solicitors work out their fees based on their indemnity insurance so a larger loan size will always attract a larger fee, for a small loan you should factor in at least £500 and on a large complicated case it could go as high as £1-2,000 or more, you will also need to make an allowance for your own solicitor to handle the loan for you, a bridging loan is normally the same cost as a mortgage so give them a call and get a quote before instructing them to act for you.

 

Are there any fees to pay upfront?

 

You should never pay anything to anyone until you have a decision in principle, what this means is that a lender has looked at your requirement and would be prepared to offer you finance subject to valuation and due diligence, once this is the case you will only be asked to pay for the valuation and put the lenders solicitors in funds once you decided to proceed with the loan, you should never pay any brokers fees upfront it is quite normal for the broker to be paid by the lender but only once the loan has completed and you have your Loan. Note you can use a bridging loan for any legal purpose.
