Start-to-finish certainty

Know your Buy-to-Let exit before you start your Bridge. Our Bridge-to-Let process checks compatibility for both at the same time, and you can produce a Buy-to-Let DIP ready to pick up when a Bridge completes.

How it works

Submit Bridge-to-Let

We will assess your Bridge, and then also confirm if the exit will fit our Buy-to-Let criteria, at which point you can submit the Buy-to-Let and receive a DIP through the Mortgages Portal.

Complete your Bridge

Our team will be in touch throughout your customer’s project to check progress, and be ready to proceed with their Buy-to-Let the moment it is completed.

Apply for Buy-to-Let

Their DIP will be stored in the Mortgages Portal, ready for you to reignite with up-to-date credit checks, then proceed to a full application, where they will receive free valuations and legals.
