What Is a Bridging Loan?

A bridging loan is a short-term, secured loan designed to “bridge” the gap between a financial need and a more permanent solution. 

Typically lasting up to 24 months, these loans are secured against property and are repaid once longer-term financing is arranged or an asset is sold.​
