Bridging Finance With Adverse Credit

Bridging lenders are primarily concerned with the property being used as security and your realistic exit strategy, which means a poor credit history doesn't automatically close the door the way it might with a mainstream mortgage. We work with a panel of lenders who specialise in adverse credit cases, including defaults, missed payments, CCJs and even historic bankruptcy or IVAs.

Every case is assessed individually — the more clearly you can evidence your exit strategy, the more options are usually available.

What We Look at Beyond Your Credit Score

Your Exit Strategy

A clear, credible plan to repay the loan — whether by sale or refinance — matters more to bridging lenders than your credit history.

The Security Property

Sufficient equity and a suitable property are often enough to secure lending, even with a difficult credit past.

Whole of Market Access

We search specialist lenders who are set up to price adverse credit cases fairly, rather than declining outright.

Bad Credit Bridging Loans – Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a bridging loan with bad credit?

Often, yes. Bridging lenders focus mainly on the security property and your exit strategy, so defaults, missed payments, CCJs and even historic bankruptcy or IVAs don't automatically rule you out.

What matters most to bad credit bridging lenders?

A clear, credible exit strategy — a sale or refinance — and enough equity in a suitable security property.

Will bad credit make my bridging loan more expensive?

It can, depending on the severity and how recent the credit issues are. We search specialist lenders that price adverse credit fairly rather than declining outright.

Is bad credit bridging finance regulated by the FCA?

No. Raise Commercial Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We arrange unregulated commercial and investment property finance only. We never lend against a property that is or will become the borrower's or their family's home.
