FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply to Blend directly or do I need a broker?

Most specialist bridging lenders including Blend prefer intermediated business and either do not accept direct applications or reserve their best pricing for broker-introduced cases. Going through a whole-of-market broker like Doulton means your application is placed on the right desk, structured the way the underwriter wants to see it, and benchmarked against 130+ alternative lenders before you commit.

How does Blend compare with other bridging lenders?

No single lender is the cheapest or fastest on every case. Blend may offer market-leading rates on one property type and be uncompetitive on another. We look at your specific scenario - property, LTV, exit strategy and timeframe - and identify which of the 130+ lenders on our panel will give you the best overall deal.

How fast can Blend complete a bridging loan?

Straightforward bridging cases can complete in 5 to 10 working days. More complex scenarios - unusual security, cross-collateralisation, multiple owners - typically take 2 to 3 weeks. Speed is driven by valuation and legal turnaround more than underwriting, so coming in with clean paperwork makes the biggest difference.

What rates do specialist bridging lenders charge?

Rates currently range from around 0.49% per month for prime residential first-charge deals at lower LTVs, through to 1.25%+ for heavy refurbishment, complex commercial, or higher-LTV transactions. Arrangement fees are usually 1-2% and most lenders will accept retained, rolled-up or serviced interest.

Does using a broker cost more than going direct?

No. Broker fees are typically disclosed upfront and competitive deals often only become available via intermediaries. Lenders price in the underwriting and packaging work a good broker does, so you usually end up with a lower all-in cost than going to the lender's direct-to-consumer desk.
