About the brokerage
About Bridging Loans Buckinghamshire
We sit between Buckinghamshire investors, owner-occupiers and developers and the eight bridging lenders who price the work. Independent of any one funder, packaging biased to whatever moves your deal.
Who we are
We are a bridging brokerage covering Buckinghamshire and the wider South East property market. Bridging is what we do every working day. Not a side product alongside term mortgages, not a referral relationship we maintain in case a client asks. The whole desk wakes up to auction calendars, refurbishment timelines, and the same eight lender contacts who price our work week in, week out. That focus is the point of working with us rather than a generalist mortgage broker.
How we got here
From single-deal packagers to a Buckinghamshire bridging desk.
The brokerage grew out of a packaging team that had been arranging short-term property finance for South East investors since the post-2018 specialist-lender expansion. The shift from a few personal contacts at MT Finance and Together to a settled eight-lender panel happened gradually, as deal volume justified treating bridging as a discipline rather than an occasional product. By 2023 the desk was packaging more bridging loans than any other product line. In 2024 the team split the bridging book out under its own brand to remove confusion with high-street term lending.
Today the Buckinghamshire desk handles enquiries from auction buyers running the MK and HP postcode auction calendars, owner-occupiers chain-broken between Beaconsfield, Marlow, Amersham and the wider Chilterns commuter belt, BTL landlords running refurbishments on High Wycombe HP11 and Bletchley MK2 stock, and developers exiting practical completion in the Aylesbury Vale, the Wolverton industrial regen zone and the smaller villages on the Buckingham fringe. The case mix is roughly two-thirds unregulated investor and developer work, one-third regulated owner-occupier bridges introduced through our FCA-authorised partners.
What we are
A brokerage, not an adviser, and not a lender.
We arrange short-term property finance secured against UK property. We are a broker. We package the case, negotiate terms across the lender panel, and run it through to completion alongside the borrower's solicitor and the lender's legal team. We do not lend our own balance sheet and we do not advise. For regulated bridging, where the loan is secured against a property occupied or to be occupied by the borrower or an immediate family member, we introduce clients to FCA-authorised partners who carry out the regulated activity and provide any required advice. We are not directly FCA-authorised. For unregulated bridging on commercial, investment, BTL and refurbishment property, we package and place the case directly.
That separation matters. A broker who advises has to file recommendations and document why they fit the client's needs. We are not that party. We are the people who know which lender will price your specific deal sharpest this week, which valuers turn around the Chilterns and MK postcode areas fastest, and which legal teams have the auction-pack appetite to complete inside 14 days.
The lender panel
Eight specialists who cover the bridging map.
We work most regularly with eight bridging specialists: MT Finance, Octane Capital, Roma Finance, United Trust Bank, Hope Capital, Together, LendInvest and Octopus Real Estate. Between them they cover regulated owner-occupier work, standard unregulated bridges, refurbishment to BTL exit, heavy refurb with structural change, development exit, and second-charge cases. Beyond the headline panel we maintain working relationships with Shawbrook, Precise Mortgages, Allica Bank, Bridgebank Capital, Avamore Capital, Glenhawk, Aldermore and Kuflink for cases that price better with them.
We do not claim whole-of-market reach. The panel is curated, with each lender priced and pitched for the case types they handle well. Sending a heavy refurb HMO conversion to a fast-turnaround standard bridger wastes a week. Sending a clean 65% LTV chain-break case to a heavy-refurb specialist wastes basis points. The packaging discipline is matching the case to the right desk first time. We belong to the broker-side trade community via NACFB, ASTL and FIBA networks, which keeps us close to lender appetite changes as the market moves.
Where we work
Buckinghamshire, the Chilterns and the wider South East.
Buckinghamshire splits into two markets and we work both. Northern Buckinghamshire runs on the Milton Keynes unitary economy and the wider MK postcode: the new-town grid, the central Milton Keynes office and retail core, Bletchley, Newport Pagnell, Wolverton, Stony Stratford, Olney and the village belt running up to the Northamptonshire border, with Buckingham and Winslow on the western edge. Southern Buckinghamshire runs on the HP and SL postcodes and the Chilterns commuter belt: Amersham, Chesham, Beaconsfield, Marlow, Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Peter, Princes Risborough, Wendover, Iver, Burnham, with the AONB premium-property bracket cycling through chain-break and capital-raise bridging on a steady cadence.
Aylesbury sits in the middle as the county town and the heart of the Vale, with the HS2 corridor (Aylesbury station, the Calvert hub) reshaping the development map. We work across the rest of the South East including the Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire fringes, the Oxford corridor at the Bicester boundary, and Berkshire from the SL postcode southwards. Distance from any one Bucks town is rarely the limit on whether we take a case. The limits are the strength of the security, the credibility of the exit, and whether the property type sits inside the bridging lender appetite. We turn down work where the exit is hand-waved or the security is thin. We say yes where the deal is real and the numbers work.
Regulatory note
Regulated bridging finance, where the loan is secured against a property occupied or to be occupied by the borrower or an immediate family member, is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Unregulated bridging finance, including loans secured against commercial property, investment property, buy-to-let, and refurbishment projects, is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We are not directly FCA-authorised. For any regulated bridging requirement we introduce clients to FCA-authorised partners, who carry out the regulated activity and provide any required advice. We do not give advice on regulated mortgages, regulated bridging, or investment products.

A 15-minute triage call usually answers the practical questions: rate band, LTV, term, fees, completion window. Indicative lender terms typically follow inside 24 hours. We are at our most useful when the case has a clock on it.
