Outcome

Tony C.

Property Investor • United Kingdom

Auction Purchase

1The Challenge

Tony had successfully bid on an auction property but found himself in a last-minute panic as the 28-day completion deadline approached. His original funding fell through unexpectedly, leaving him at risk of losing his deposit and the property. With only days to spare, he needed a lender who could move fast, understand the urgency, and actually deliver - not just promise.

2Our Solution

FastBridge Funding stepped in immediately. Our broker Adam took ownership of the case, working directly with Tony to understand exactly what was needed. Adam coordinated with our panel of specialist auction lenders, secured terms quickly, and kept Tony informed at every stage. No chasing required - proactive updates throughout. The valuation was fast-tracked and legal work expedited to meet the tight deadline.

3The Result

Tony completed on time, keeping his deposit safe and securing the property. The deal went through smoothly despite the compressed timeline.

Was a big help in an urgent situation. Had a bit of a last minute panic with an auction property and Fast Bridge Funding helped massively. Adam was straight on it, talked me through everything and kept things moving at a good pace. Felt like he genuinely cared about getting the deal done.

Outcome

Bez G.

Property Developer • United Kingdom

Development Finance

1The Challenge

Bez had identified a development site with strong potential but faced the classic developer catch-22: he needed to own the site to progress planning, but most lenders won't provide development finance without planning permission in place. He needed flexible funding that would allow him to purchase the site, work through the planning process, and then transition to development finance once permission was granted.

2Our Solution

FastBridge Funding structured a two-stage solution: Stage 1: A bridging loan to purchase the site immediately, giving Bez the time and security to progress his planning application without pressure. Stage 2: Once planning was secured, we arranged the development finance through our lender panel, creating a seamless transition without the need to find a new broker or start from scratch. This integrated approach meant one point of contact throughout the entire journey from site acquisition to development funding.

3The Result

Bez secured the site, obtained planning permission on his timeline, and transitioned smoothly to development finance. The single-broker approach saved time and ensured continuity throughout the project.

I needed a bridge for my site to give me time for planning, they got me the money I needed to finish the planning and arranged my development finance too.

Property Buyer • United Kingdom

Fast Completion

1The Challenge

Lance was under significant time pressure with a property completion. The standard mortgage process wasn't moving fast enough, and the completion deadline was approaching rapidly. Missing the deadline would mean losing the property and potentially facing financial penalties. He needed a solution that could move at pace without sacrificing reliability.

2Our Solution

FastBridge Funding took immediate action. We identified suitable lenders from our panel who could work to the required timeline and began processing the application the same day. Clear communication was maintained throughout - Lance knew exactly where things stood at every stage, with no need to chase for updates. The team kept the process moving, coordinating between all parties to ensure nothing caused delays.

3The Result

The completion went through on time. Lance secured his property without the stress of a last-minute scramble, thanks to proactive management of the entire process.

I was under time pressure with a property completion and FastBridge Funding stepped in and got us sorted. They kept the process moving and communicated every step. Really appreciated the help.
