Over the last five years the UK housing market has witnessed massive growth both in terms of home ownership and in house prices. Within a back-drop of a strong UK economy and low interest rates consumer demand for investment in real estate in terms of second homes and more commonly buy-to-let property has reached an all time high. The number of mortgages issued by UK mortgage lenders has risen from 48400 in the year 2000 to 223, 800 in 2005.

Income from rent and the capital growth opportunities in UK property has meant that the property investment market is not just the realm of the professional investor. Many ordinary UK residents now supplement their income through rental property. Property is also increasingly being viewed as an alternative to long term pension provision.

So how have these market conditions helped to enhance the growth of Bridging Finance?

Well Bridging finance in the UK used to be the domain of the ‘needy’ and the distressed purchaser. Whilst Bridging remains an ideal finance mechanism to resolve these types situations, the UK consumer is increasingly using Bridging in a more sophisticated way. Borrowers are using Bridging to cover timing differences in pursuit of higher returns on investment.

Lagoon Bridging Loans & Finance has been set up specifically for the new type of Bridging Finance customer. The aim of Lagoon is to cut through the complex area of Bridging Finance by explaining how it works and how a Bridging Loan may benefit borrowers in certain circumstances.
