Bridging Loans
Bridging loans provide rapid short-term financing for property transactions, typically lasting 3-12 months. These loans are ideal for auction purchases, distressed property acquisitions, or projects requiring immediate capital. Tiger Financial secures competitive rates and structures tailored solutions, with loan-to-value ratios up to 75% for residential properties and 70% for commercial assets. Our expertise ensures seamless processing from application to completion.
Development Finance
Development finance supports large-scale property projects through staged funding releases. This solution covers land acquisition, construction costs, and refurbishment works across residential and commercial developments. Tiger Financial arranges packages up to 90% loan-to-cost, including hybrid stretched senior financing and mezzanine options. Our team manages complex deals, such as the 12 million Greenwich development project, ensuring alignment with planning timelines and market conditions.
Urgent Bridging
Urgent bridging loans deliver rapid capital for time-sensitive opportunities, including auction purchases requiring 28-day completion. Tiger Financial leverages its lender network to expedite approvals, with some residential cases completing in three days. Our process prioritises speed without compromising terms, offering flexible security options for uninhabitable properties or those undergoing planning changes.
Mezzanine Finance
Mezzanine finance provides high-leverage funding to supplement senior debt, typically covering 75-100% of project costs. This solution suits developers seeking to preserve equity while maximising returns. Tiger Financial structures hybrid packages combining debt and equity elements, offering tailored repayment terms that align with project timelines and exit strategies.
Exit Bridging
Exit bridging loans facilitate repayment of development finance while retaining property equity. These short-term solutions allow developers to release capital from completed projects before final sale. Tiger Financial arranges exit financing at 75% of open market value, ensuring liquidity during transitional phases without disrupting long-term investment strategies.

Questions
What is the difference between a bridging loan and a mortgage?
Bridging loans finance short-term property needs (3-12 months) for unmortgageable assets like uninhabitable properties, whereas mortgages are long-term (15-30 years) for standard residential properties.
How quickly can I get a bridging loan?
Simple residential cases complete in 3 days, with most transactions finalised within 4 weeks using our streamlined process and lender relationships.
What loan-to-value ratios do you offer?
Up to 75% LTV for residential bridging, 70% for commercial, and 90% LTC for development finance, depending on asset strength and borrower experience.
Do you work with overseas clients?
Yes, we serve UK and international clients, including overseas residents seeking property finance solutions across residential and commercial sectors.
Can I get financing with poor credit history?
Yes, we consider applicants with CCJs, defaults, and arrears, provided the exit strategy doesn't rely on refinancing and the security asset is strong.
How does development finance disbursement work?
Funds release in stages aligned with project milestones, with Tiger Financial managing lender communications and ensuring timely payments throughout the development lifecycle.
