For over 20 years, Holme Finance Bridging Solutions has been a trusted name in the world of flexible and short-term financing. Offering a diverse range of financial solutions, the company’s success is attributed to its tailor-made services, working via a limited panel of intermediaries.

Let’s delve into the reasons why brokers consistently choose HFBS for short-term loans, and why they stand out in the crowded marketplace.

1. Hassle-Free Transactions

HFBS prioritises the convenience of its clients by removing unnecessary hurdles in the process. There’s no need for solicitors on either side in most cases, which not only simplifies the process but also speeds it up.

5. Equitable Charge Lending

HFBS is willing to lend where the first mortgagee refuses consent, a situation commonly referred to as an Equitable Charge. This reflects the company’s commitment to providing solutions even in challenging scenarios.

6. No Limit on Bad Credit

A significant feature that sets HFBS apart is their willingness to consider bad credit without limitations. This opens doors for many potential borrowers who may be rejected elsewhere.

HFBS Welcome You to 2023

Ian Broadbent, Director of Holme Finance and Bridging Solutions, shares his view on the last 12 months in the bridging market and what it means for the year ahead…

What a year 2022 was! War in Europe, War in the Tory party, energy prices through the roof and an impending ‘cost of living’ crisis you would be forgiven for building that bomb shelter and going to ground! But wait, have you tried employing a tradesman lately? Good luck they are all busier than ever. And ourselves? Just celebrating the best year on record! Strange times indeed.  

So 2023? Beset, I expect, by the usual press negativity seeking a headline that may sell a few additional copies. At HFBS we are no more capable of predicting the future than anyone else however our best guess is that even should a slow down occur (and that is by no means certain) recovery will be reasonably swift and that is how we intend to underwrite. Our terms will remain competitive, LTV’s are not shifting and our appetite is undimmed. Want some certainty? So do we.  We will continue to work with brokers providing the much-needed confidence required in the financial services market.

We are still the number one lender for a quick response. We pride ourselves on being very different, filling a niche in the market to complement your existing providers of short-term finance. Amongst our genuine USP’s we continue to offer; No limit on bad credit, small loans, no age limits, no first mortgage consent required and no solicitors in most cases. And one major difference, if it is in a clients best interest we will happily consider taking out an existing bridging loan. As we like to say, with HFBS everything is simpler, quicker, cheaper

It is also important to remember that this level of service will only come from an experienced bridging lender who can actually deliver. We have been advancing short-term funds via a limited panel of intermediaries for over 40 years with complete authority on our lending – think it’s fair to say we have the experience.

All that is left to say is that we are very much looking forward to building lasting business relationships in 2023 and doing what we do best, providing a genuine service and lightening quick bridging loans.

We very much look forward to working with you in 2023.

When There’s Lack of Time HFBS Step in To Fund Investment

A postal strike and a mortgage provider pulling their deal didn’t stop an entrepreneurial property developer moving ahead and completing on a property bought at auction.

Thanks to Holme Finance Bridging Solutions (HFBS) an auction deadline that looked like it wouldn’t be met due to a BTL mortgage provider withdrawing their product at the last minute was back on track for Completion.

HFBS were approached by a broker to help a client who was contractually obliged to complete within 7 days on the purchase price of £68,000 knowing they had no way of starting and securing a new mortgage offer in time.

Dan Yendall-Collings, Senior Underwriter at HFBS says: “For this developer to get so far in the mortgage process only for it to be taken away was a devastating blow.  The broker approached us knowing there was limited time to turn it around, but we knew we could move quickly to meet the deadline.

“We agreed the deal using a drive-by valuation and issued our offer pack on a Friday. Unfortunately, the Royal Mail strike meant the pack wasn’t received until Monday but thankfully we were able to visit on Tuesday to finalise and witness the signing of the legal charge.  After that it all came together really quickly enabling us to release the funds on Thursday, a day ahead of the scheduled auction completion.”

It took HFBS five working days from receiving the application to the £68,000 pay out. They agreed the loan over 12 months at 1.4%pm with the planned sale of the development property securing repayment of the loan.

HFBS offer one the LOWEST second mortgage rates in the bridging finance market starting at just 0.95% month with advances from just £5,000.
