What Is a Together Bridging Loan?

A Together bridging loan is a short-term secured finance facility, typically lasting between 1 and 24 months. It is designed to "bridge" a financial gap – most commonly when a borrower needs to complete on a property purchase before their existing property has sold, or when they need to act faster than a standard mortgage allows.

Together is widely regarded as one of the UK's most responsive bridging lenders. Their willingness to consider complex cases – non-standard properties, borrowers with complex income, unusual ownership structures – combined with their fast underwriting, makes Together bridging loans a first-choice product for many property investors and homebuyers.

Types of Together Bridging Loans

Regulated Bridging Loans

Regulated bridging loans apply when the borrower (or a close family member) intends to live in the secured property. These are governed by the FCA and carry full consumer protections.

  • Suitable for residential chain breaks
  • First-time buyers needing fast finance
  • Owner-occupier purchase at auction
  • LTV up to 75%

Unregulated Bridging Loans

Unregulated bridging loans apply to investment or commercial properties. Not subject to FCA consumer regulations, these offer greater flexibility in structure and use.

  • Buy-to-let and investment purchases
  • Commercial property acquisitions
  • Land and development sites
  • LTV up to 70%

When to Use a Together Bridging Loan

Based on 12 years of arranging bridging finance, the most effective use cases for Together bridging loans fall into four clear categories:

1. Chain Break Finance

If your property purchase is at risk because your buyer has pulled out or your chain has collapsed, a Together bridging loan can keep the transaction alive. You complete the purchase using the bridge, then repay it when your original sale completes (or when you sell a different property).

2. Auction Property Purchase

Property auctions require completion within 28 days. A standard mortgage application takes 6–12 weeks. Together bridging loans are specifically structured to meet auction timelines, with fast underwriting and a streamlined legal process.

3. Refurbishment Bridge-to-Let

Buy an uninhabitable or unmortgageable property using a Together bridging loan, renovate it, and then refinance onto a Together buy-to-let mortgage once the property meets standard lending criteria. This is one of the most popular Together Loans strategies among property investors.

4. Capital Release Against Property

If you own property with significant equity and need fast access to capital – for a business opportunity, tax bill or investment – a Together bridging loan (second charge) can release those funds quickly while leaving your existing mortgage in place.

Together Bridging Loan FAQs

How quickly can Together complete a bridging loan? +
Together can issue a Decision in Principle within 24–48 hours of receiving a complete application. For straightforward cases where all documentation is provided promptly, completion can be achieved in as few as 5–7 working days. Complex cases may take 2–3 weeks.
Do Together bridging loans require proof of income? +
For unregulated bridging loans (investment/commercial), Together places primary emphasis on the security (property value) and the exit strategy, rather than income. For regulated bridging loans on residential property, income evidence may be required to assess affordability on the exit mortgage.
What is the exit strategy for a Together bridging loan? +
Together requires a credible exit strategy before approving a bridging loan. Common exit strategies include: sale of the property (or another property), refinance onto a longer-term mortgage or BTL product, expected inheritance or business funds. Together can also provide the long-term refinance product, making them a one-stop solution for bridge-to-mortgage strategies.
Can I get a Together bridging loan with bad credit? +
Yes. Together assesses bridging loan applications with adverse credit on a case-by-case basis. The weighting is placed on the value of the security and the quality of the exit strategy. Mild to moderate adverse credit (missed payments, defaults) is generally considered; serious recent adverse credit may affect terms or require additional security.
