Precise supports intermediaries with bridging finance resource

Precise has launched a new guide to bridging finance for intermediaries, designed to help brokers identify when it could be suitable for clients facing time-sensitive transactions.

‘Bridge it. Everything you need to know about bridging finance’ was created to help brokers understand the role short-term finance can play across a range of lending scenarios.

The lender said the launch comes as brokers operate in a more selective lending environment than ever.

Precise pointed to recent data from the BDLA which suggested that the market entered a more measured phase in Q1 2026, with applications falling from £11.7bn in Q4 2025 to £9.9bn and completions reducing from £2.5bn to £1.8bn over the same period.

The resource explores a range of common bridging scenarios, including purchasing a new property before selling an existing one, auction purchases, refurbishment projects, change-of-use cases and developer exits.

It also explains key aspects of bridging finance, including regulated and unregulated lending, loan terms, interest options and exit strategies.

Drawing on Precise’s experience across both regulated and unregulated bridging, the guide aims to highlight the role specialist lending can play where speed, flexibility and a clear exit strategy are important considerations.

Alan Kimber, head of bridging at Precise (pictured above), commented: “Brokers are working with a growing range of client circumstances, many of which require a flexible and pragmatic approach to funding.

“Whether a client is looking to secure a property quickly, bridge a gap between transactions or unlock value from an existing asset, having access to the right specialist finance solution can make all the difference.

“We created this resource to help brokers understand where bridging could be an appropriate solution and give them the confidence to have more informed conversations with their clients.”
