Bridging finance covers an immediate requirement while you wait for income that is already earned or contracted. In property, that income is usually rent, commission or transaction proceeds.
Because the funding is short term and tied to a specific, verifiable repayment source, assessment focuses on how reliable that source is, when it will be received, and whether the applicant can service the facility if timing slips.

Landlord bridging finance is sized against verified rental income and the specific requirement, with repayment structured around collections once the property performs.

Verification usually involves the sale agreement, a commission statement and confirmation from the transferring attorney or agency.
