Finance for Properties Standard Lenders Won't Mortgage

A property missing a working kitchen or bathroom, without a functioning heating system, or affected by significant structural issues is usually classed as uninhabitable and unmortgageable by high street lenders. This is exactly the gap bridging finance fills — funding the purchase so you can carry out the works needed to bring the property up to a standard where it can be refinanced or sold conventionally.

Common Uninhabitable Property Scenarios We Fund

No Kitchen or Bathroom

Properties stripped back for renovation, or never fitted out, are still viable security for the right bridging lender.

Structural Issues

Subsidence, damp, or significant disrepair can often still be funded, subject to survey and a clear works plan.

Fire or Flood Damaged Property

We can help arrange finance to purchase and repair properties affected by fire, flood or other damage.

Uninhabitable Property Bridging Loans – Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a property uninhabitable for lending purposes?

Typically a missing or unusable kitchen or bathroom, no working heating, or significant structural problems. High street lenders usually class these properties as unmortgageable.

Can I get a bridging loan on an uninhabitable property?

Yes. Bridging finance can fund the purchase so you can carry out the works needed to sell the property or refinance it conventionally.

Can you fund fire or flood damaged property?

Often, yes — subject to a survey and a clear plan for the repair works.

Is uninhabitable property 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.
