What Is Regulated Bridging?
Regulated bridging is a short term finance solution used when a property is owner-occupied or intended to be owner-occupied. Because of this, the finance falls under Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulation and includes additional consumer protections.
Specialist brokers assess affordability, exit strategy, and property details to identify regulated lenders suitable for each case.
