Key Features

What Pivot offers

Quick Turnaround Times

Pivot is built for speed. Their streamlined application process and in-house decision-making mean that bridging loans can complete in days rather than weeks, ideal for time-critical deals.

Agile Underwriting Approach

Pivot's underwriters take a pragmatic view of each case, looking beyond credit scores to assess the full picture. This means viable deals that other lenders might decline can still proceed.

Loans from 50k to 5m

Whether you need a smaller bridge for a residential purchase or a larger facility for a commercial acquisition, Pivot can accommodate a wide range of loan sizes with the same level of service.

Light and Heavy Refurbishment

Pivot provides funding for properties that need work, from cosmetic upgrades through to significant structural renovation. Funds can be released in stages as the project progresses.

No Minimum Term

Unlike many lenders who impose minimum loan terms, Pivot allows borrowers to repay early without penalty. If your exit comes sooner than expected, you are not locked into unnecessary interest payments.

Nationwide Coverage

Pivot lends across England and Wales on a broad range of property types, including residential, commercial, semi-commercial, and land with planning permission.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

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

Most specialist bridging lenders including Pivot 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 Pivot compare with other bridging lenders?

No single lender is the cheapest or fastest on every case. Pivot 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 Pivot 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.
