One of the first things I ask any property investor before we even think about a bridging application is: โ€œHow are you planning getting out of this bridge? What options have you considered?โ€ Because right now, getting a bridge agreed is rarely the hard part- making sure the exit still works 6โ€“12 months later is where deals succeed or fall apart! And over the last year, the refinance landscape has shifted quickly as term lenders are even more strict on: ๐Ÿ“‰ Tighter affordability ๐Ÿ“‰ Lower leverage on certain asset classes ๐Ÿ“‰ More conservative valuations ๐Ÿ“‰ Lenders becoming far more selective This is exactly why exit planning has become nonโ€‘negotiable. ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€ ๐—œ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฏ ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€: โœ… a realistic refinance route โœ… a lender that genuinely fits the project โœ… a contingency plan if the market shifts ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—”๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐——๐—ผ ๐—œ ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ช๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐— ๐˜† ๐—–๐—น๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€? โœ”๏ธ engage very early โœ”๏ธ stressโ€‘test the exit properly โœ”๏ธ build contingency into costs and timings โœ”๏ธ avoid overleveraging โœ”๏ธ choose lenders based on fit, not just a cheap headline rate!
