Light vs heavy refurbishment

Light refurbishment covers cosmetic works — no structural changes or planning permission. Heavy refurbishment covers structural work, extensions, conversions or change of use. Different lenders specialise in each, and the tool shows you which fit your project.

The buy-refurbish-refinance model

Many investors use bridging to buy a property below value, add value through works, then refinance onto a buy-to-let or residential mortgage at the higher value — often releasing much of their original capital to reinvest.

Common questions

Can I fund the works as well as the purchase?
Many refurbishment products advance an initial amount against the property plus staged funds towards the works. The structure depends on the lender and project.
What is my exit strategy?
Usually a sale or a refinance onto a longer-term mortgage once the works are complete. A clear, credible exit is important and we will discuss it with you.
Does bridging suit uninhabitable properties?
Yes — bridging can often be secured against properties that a standard mortgage lender would decline, such as those with no kitchen or bathroom.
