What Is a Land Bridging Loan?
A land bridging loan is a short-term financing solution designed to help individuals or businesses purchase land, often without existing buildings. This loan bridges the gap between acquiring the land and arranging long-term financing.
Ideal for investors and developers, land bridging loans provide quick access to funds, enabling buyers to seize opportunities in competitive markets. These loans are typically secured against the land itself or other assets owned by the borrower. The land can be used for various purposes, such as constructing residential properties or commercial developments.
