Case studies: High-value commercial bridging loans for planning permission
Written by Luke Stevenson
While areas of the lending market takes longer to recover from the effects of Covid-19, there are still opportunities for developers looking to set up their next project, or investors looking to make planning gains.
We have seen an appetite from developers to prepare the ground for their next project by acquisition through bridging while they get planning permission, or others purchasing properties, getting the necessary permissions and then selling on to developers.
