Absolutely brilliant service from John from start to finish. As first-time buyers, the mortgage process could have been really stressful and confusing, but John made everything so straightforward and easy to understand. He was always available to answer any questions we had, explained everything clearly, and kept us updated throughout the whole process. John worked hard to find us the right mortgage and has been incredibly helpful, professional and supportive every step of the way. We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better mortgage advisor and would 100% recommend John to anyone looking for a mortgage. Thank you for all your help!Posted on Google![]()

We have known John since we bought our first rental in 2009 and he has guided and helped us all the way. He laid out a plan for us that this month will be fulfilled exactly as he said it would. He has never let us down and he is always there when we have needed him. Nothing is too much trouble. Great guy and a true proffessional. Thanks John for everything. You are truly the best.Posted on Google![]()

I honestly don’t know how I would have got through buying my first house without John. From the very beginning, he helped us work out what we could afford and get our Agreement in Principle sorted, but his help went way beyond just arranging the mortgage. While we were viewing houses, he was always happy to give his thoughts on whether an asking price seemed sensible and what we might want to offer. His experience and knowledge were incredibly valuable when we were trying to navigate something we knew very little about. Once we found our house, John made the whole process so much easier. He was incredibly quick to respond, explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer my many questions! What really impressed me was how much he handled himself. He dealt directly with the estate agent, solicitors and lender, meaning we weren’t constantly stuck in the middle passing messages around. If an issue came up, he’d often just sort it in the background and let us know there was an issue but it's resolved, rather than adding to our stress. John genuinely cares about his clients and it really shows. He’s friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and always made us feel like we were in safe hands. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Five stars doesn’t really do justice to how much he helped us!Posted on Google![]()

As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage broker than John. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly friendly and immediately put me at ease, making what initially felt like a daunting process feel straightforward and manageable. John’s communication was outstanding throughout. No question was ever too big or too small, and he always took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. Thanks to his support, I was able to navigate the entire mortgage process with complete confidence. I never once felt stressed or under pressure, which made such a difference as a first-time buyer. His knowledge and expertise are second to none, and he was able to secure me a fantastic mortgage deal. I genuinely felt that he had my best interests at heart every step of the way. I can’t recommend John highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly dedicated to helping their clients, he’s the person to go to. Thank you, John, for making such an important milestone such a positive experience!Posted on Google![]()

When I arrived in the UK, I had only been here for 3 months. I was on a spouse visa, had very little UK employment history, and other mortgage advisers told us that getting a mortgage would be extremely difficult or even impossible. From the first conversation, John gave us confidence. He explained exactly what we needed to do and told us that the most important thing was getting my first few payslips and building my employment record. He had a clear plan from the start. What I liked most was how honest and straightforward he was. He always answered our questions, kept us updated, and made the whole process easy to understand. Nothing ever felt too much trouble. John didn't just help us get a mortgage. He advised us on properties, helped us understand what was a good purchase, guided us on what offer to make, and even helped us find solicitors. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping us buy the right home, not just getting the mortgage approved. In less than 4 months, John achieved what two other mortgage advisers told us was impossible. We now have a mortgage offer and are buying our first home together. The whole experience was smooth, professional and surprisingly stress-free. John was always there when we needed advice and support. If you are a first-time buyer, new to the UK, or have a complicated situation, I highly recommend speaking to John before anyone else. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve something we never thought would be possible, and we will always be grateful.Posted on Google![]()

Outstanding Mortgage Broker – Truly Exceptional Service My husband and I cannot recommend John Everest at Everest Mortgage Services highly enough. As first-time buyers, we were told by two other mortgage advisers that getting a mortgage would be virtually impossible due to our circumstances. My husband, Aba, had only been in the UK for five months on a spouse visa, had a very limited UK credit history, and was still building his employment record. We were repeatedly told that lenders would not consider our application. From our very first conversation, John was different. Rather than focusing on the obstacles, he focused on finding solutions. He took the time to understand our situation, explain every stage of the process, and gave us honest, realistic advice from day one. What seemed impossible suddenly felt achievable. In less than four months, John successfully secured our mortgage offer. Throughout the entire journey, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly reassuring. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was dealt with calmly, and we always felt that he genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal. What impressed us most was that John didn't just act as a mortgage broker. He became a trusted adviser and mentor throughout the whole process. He guided us on property choices, helped us understand market values, advised on offer strategies, and ensured we didn't make costly mistakes as first-time buyers. His experience and insight were invaluable. Buying a home is often described as one of the most stressful experiences in life, but John made it the complete opposite. It was the most smooth, stress-free, and well-managed process we could have hoped for. We always felt supported, informed, and confident in the decisions we were making. Thanks to John's hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband and I are now able to purchase our first home together. We genuinely believe this would not have happened without him. If you are a first-time buyer, have a complex case, are a foreign national, or have been told "no" elsewhere, speak to John before giving up. His knowledge, persistence, and commitment to his clients are second to none. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve a dream we thought was out of reach, and we will always be grateful. 🏡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Valeria
Bridging loan mortgages
When you’re buying, renovating or investing in property, timing can make or break a deal. If you don’t have funding quick enough, you could miss out on a seriously good buy-to-let investment. Often, traditional mortgages move too slowly, and coming up with the money upfront is rarely an option. A lot of the time, you need to move quickly – for example, if you’re buying at auction, taking on a property to refurbish or trying to secure a buy-to-let property – before another investor snaps it up, leaving you disappointed. Luckily, bridging mortgages exist, and they could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Bridging mortgages offer fast, flexible and short-term finance to help you move quickly and strengthen your position as a buyer. Whether you’re a landlord, developer or investor, Everest Mortgages is on hand to help you secure the funds you need, as soon as you need them.
We search 1000's of mortgage deals across a large number of lenders, including...











What is a bridging loan?
Ever wondered how someone managed to quickly find the money to take on a buy-to-let project? There’s a good chance a bridging loan was involved. From big commercial development projects that need to hit the ground running, to residential properties that need refurbishing before being let out to tenants, a bridging loan helps to ‘bridge’ the financial gap.
A bridging mortgage is a short-term, interest-only loan designed to get your project moving financially, until you can secure long-term finance or sell the property. They fall into the buy-to-let mortgage category, and they’re commonly used when access to money is needed quickly and standard mortgage criteria is unlikely to be met. Unlike a standard buy-to-let mortgage, you don’t need the property to be in lettable or mortgageable condition to be approved for a bridging loan.
How do bridging mortgages work?
Though they are a type of buy-to-let mortgage, bridging loans work in a slightly different way to the standard mortgages you’re probably used to.
Short-term funding
Bridging mortgages are a type of loan, with terms usually lasting from a few months to a few years, depending on your project. This is different to other types of buy-to-let loans, which can span decades.
Fast approval
A lot of people applying for bridging loans need funding fast, and lenders work quickly to ensure deadlines are met. If you were applying for a standard mortgage, there’s a high chance the approval process would take too long, causing delays to your project or resulting in you missing out on a property investment.
Interest-only
There are various ways to handle bridging mortgage payments; rolled-up interest, retained interest or monthly payments. Most investors choose rolled-up or retained interest, as this means you avoid having to make monthly repayments whilst work is being carried out.
Secured against property
Bridging loans are usually secured against the new purchase, an existing asset you own or multiple properties, if you’re applying for a larger loan.
Requires an exit strategy
If you want to be approved for a bridging mortgage, you need to know how you’re going to pay the money back. You might plan to refinance onto a buy-to-let mortgage, or you might want to sell the property. Lenders want to know what you’re planning before they approve you.
Who are bridging mortgages best for?
- Buy-to-let investors – Bridging loans help investors purchase properties quickly, renovate them and refinance them onto long-term buy-to-let mortgages.
- Portfolio landlords and SPVs – For those wanting to acquire multiple properties quickly, or buy homes that need work before becoming mortgageable, bridging mortgages can provide the funding.
- Property developers – For property refurbishments, conversions and pre-development work, bridging loans can get things moving, until another type of mortgage becomes an option.
Speak to a mortgage advisor
Bridging mortgages vs development finance mortgages
Both bridging mortgages and development finance mortgages help to fund property projects, but they serve different purposes. Bridging loans are best for short-term needs – such as buying, refurbishing or refinancing quickly – and funds are released in one lump sum. You can then use it for things such as funding to buy a property that’s otherwise unmortgageable or to cover the cost of light refurbishments.
Development finance mortgages are different because they’re best for larger, ongoing projects, such as building from the ground up, heavy structural works or large renovations. Funds are released in staged drawdowns, and the loan tends to have longer terms. Development finance mortgages are better suited to experienced developers, major projects and for long-term finance.
If you’re buying or refurbishing a property, a bridging loan is likely to be best. If you’re building or undertaking major structural works, you might want to consider development finance. For many investors, both products are used at different stages of their investment journey.

Why bridging loans are popular with buy-to-let borrowers
Unmortgageable properties
You can’t always get a standard buy-to-let mortgage on all properties, such as those without a functioning kitchen, a working bathroom, heating or safe electricity. But, a bridging mortgage is often an option.
Faster portfolio expansion
You can use bridging loans to secure properties before refurbishing and refinancing onto long-term buy-to-let mortgages, helping you to expand your portfolio quickly.
Auction purchases
Most auctions require completion within 28 days, which isn’t usually enough time to get a traditional buy-to-let mortgage. The entire bridging loan process is quick, which means they’re often the only realistic solution.
Bridge-to-let strategy
Some investors follow a bridge-to-let strategy, which involves buying a property using bridging finance, renovating or converting it, increasing its value and refinancing onto a new buy-to-let mortgage. Equity is then extracted and reinvested elsewhere.
At Everest Mortgages, we work with bridging lenders who understand investors and landlords, to help you to secure the ideal bridging mortgage for your property project. With us, you can relax, knowing that your investment strategy will stay on track from start to finish.
Frequently asked questions
Is a bridging loan the same as development finance?
No, though there are similarities between the two, they’re not the same. Bridging loans provide short-term, fast access to funds in a lump sum, while development finance funds major building works in smaller stages.
Can I use a bridging loan for a buy-to-let property?
Yes, especially if the property isn’t mortgageable yet or needs renovating before refinancing. A bridging loan helps you to purchase the buy-to-let property, when other types of mortgage might be out of reach.
Do I need property experience to get a bridging loan?
No, not always. However, experience helps if you’re using a bridging mortgage to fund refurbishment or conversion projects.
Do bridging lenders accept applicants with bad credit?
Yes, some do. You won’t automatically be turned down for a bridging loan because you have bad credit, but good credit does encourage lenders to approve you. As bridging loans are secured against assets, lenders tend to place more weight on security and exit strategy.
