Aspen Bridging completes ‘no valuation’ bridging loan in five days

By Bridging Loan Directory 2nd December 2021

Aspen Bridging has completed a no valuation £173k bridging loan in just five working days, allowing the applicant to raise funds for an onwards property purchase on a tight deadline.

Completed on the lender’s flat rate product at 0.79% pm over 12 months, the investor used an unencumbered, four-bedroom detached house in Edgware, North London as security. Exit will be through refinance.

Jack Coombs, Director at Aspen, said:

“Completion times in the bridging sector are continuing to rise with Bridging Trends reporting the average drawdown has increased to 53 days in quarter three, up from 47 days in quarter two.

Whilst some borrowers need bridging for other reasons, specialist lenders need to be capable of being fast and flexible where needed which is why our service proposition still states we aim to complete the majority of cases in under 10 days.

This is where our innovative approach to underwriting, legal work and valuations makes a difference.

Come 2022 we are launching another new product as we aim to continue to innovate and better meet the requirements of UK and overseas borrowers.”
