Unregulated bridging loans are a short-term financing solution often used by UK property owners. Whether for swift property purchases, renovation projects, or addressing unexpected business costs, bridging finance can provide quick access to capital. However this is at significant cost and risk which some borrowers don’t understand. You must carefully consider the risks associated bridge loans. Seeking professional advice is crucial.
In this case our lawyers defeated “London Credit”; a bridging lender that demanded circa £160,000.00 GBP. We applied to the High Court and successfully set aside a default judgment then forced the withdrawal of a statutory demand, and 3 interim charging orders. We then forced the other side to settle – for a fraction of the sum demanded.
Summary of one of our successes in defeating aggressive bridging lender misconduct over default penalty charges and threats to appoint LPA Receivers and commence Possession proceedings.
Bridging loans are a complex subject matter and which most generalist lawyers simply won’t be familiar with or understand to a level adequate enough to be able to recognise and formulate a mis-selling claim. Our financial services litigation team will ensure your bridging finance mis-selling claim achieves the best possible result in terms of putting you back in the position your business would have been in but for the mis-sold short term loan.
