Ascot Bridging Finance Bridging Loans

 

Who are Ascot Bridging Finance and what do they do?

Ascot Bridging Finance was established in 2017 by the directors of Ascot Mortgages, our sister company, to try and create a product and service which over comes the red tape put in place by most bridging lenders and the barriers experienced by the mortgage advisors at Ascot Mortgages.

Our belief is that bridging finance should be underwritten in a common sense, risk-based approach and if risks can be mitigated,  why should we not lend?
