Refurb Bridging Calculator

How does a refurb bridging calculator work?

Most mortgage lenders require properties to be in good condition and with all necessary amenities before they’ll agree to lend. If however, you’re interested in purchasing or refinancing a property without amenities — like a kitchen or bathroom — you’ll need to carry out significant works for the property to be labeled as habitable. This is where refurbishment bridging finance comes in.

Our refurb bridging calculator can help you visualise your finances, making it easy to see how much you can lend and if the repayments are feasible with your projects. To get started, you’ll need to provide some key details, including:

• Loan amount: This figure is the net loan amount required — the amount you receive before any fees or interest is applied to the loan.
• Term (months): The length of time, in months, that you have to repay your loan.
• Interest rate: This is the interest rate charged for taking out the commercial mortgage. This will be calculated as a monthly rate.
• Arrangement fee: A fee charged by the lender for arranging the refurb bridging loan.

What do my results say?

• Interest — This figure indicates how much total interest you will have to pay on a monthly basis for the duration of your loan term.
• Fee — The total fee you will need to pay your lender for setting up your development exit finance.
