Find lenders who accept your planned exit route. Your exit strategy is the most important factor in bridging loan approval.
What is an Exit Strategy?
An exit strategy is how you plan to repay the bridging loan. Unlike mortgages, bridging loans are short-term (typically 12-18 months), so lenders need confidence you can repay within the term. Your exit determines whether a lender will approve your application.
