Short-term bridging loans from £150k to £3m
Bridging Loans for Property Developers
Bridging loans can help property developers move quickly when timing is critical. Whether you need to secure a site, cover a short-term funding gap, wait for a refinance or keep a project moving, bridging finance can give you the temporary funding needed to move from one stage to the next.
At Hunter Finance, we provide short-term bridging loans from £150,000 to £3 million for developers across South East England. Funding can be secured against the property and structured around your project, exit strategy and timescales. Depending on the circumstances, this may include an open bridging loan with more flexibility, or a closed bridging loan with a fixed repayment date.
Because we lend our own funds, we can review projects directly and make fast decisions without broker delays or bank committees. Over the last decade, Hunter Finance has lent more than £75 million to developers across more than 350 projects, helping clients secure opportunities, solve timing issues and keep developments on track.

When Can a Bridging Loan Help a Property Developer?
A bridging loan can be useful when you need short-term funding to keep a project moving, secure an opportunity or give yourself more time before longer-term finance is in place.
Common uses include:
- Securing a development site quickly before another buyer moves in
- Buying land or property while a development finance facility is being arranged
- Covering short-term funding gaps during a project
- Waiting for a refinance, sale or longer-term funding to complete
- Releasing capital from an existing property to move onto the next project
- Keeping works progressing when costs, timings or sales have shifted
For developers, speed and certainty are often just as important as the rate. We lend our own funds, which means we can review the project directly and give you a clear decision without bank committees, unnecessary delays or broker fees.
No hidden costs: No brokers or upfront fees & no initial commitment.
If you’ve uncovered a property project and investment opportunity, then we want to hear about it!
