80% Net LTV Bridging Loans
Fast, flexible finance when you need maximum leverage on day one
Edited: December 2025
GPS Financial arranges 80% net LTV bridging loans for property developers, landlords and investors who want to minimise their upfront cash contribution while keeping projects moving at speed. These loans are ideal when you need fast access to capital for refurbishment, conversions or development, especially when a property needs work before it becomes mortgageable.
With whole-of-market access and specialist expertise, we arrange 80% net LTV bridging finance from £200,000 to £25 million, typically for up to 18 months. Loans can be agreed within days, allowing you to secure opportunities quickly and keep your development on track.
You can use an 80% net LTV bridging loan to
• Convert commercial units into residential under permitted development rights
• Complete heavy refurbishments such as extensions, loft conversions and structural work
• Upgrade or convert a property for rental or resale
• Bring a property to mortgage-ready condition for long-term finance
This level of leverage helps you reduce the amount of cash tied up at the start of a project; essential when juggling multiple sites or when materials and labour need funding immediately.

How 80% Net LTV Bridging Loans Work
The lender assesses the project, the current asset value and the end value once works are complete. If the exit strategy is strong and security is sufficient, the lender may offer up to 80% of the property value upfront, with interest typically rolled into the loan.
Terms are usually between 6 and 18 months, giving you enough time to complete the works and refinance onto a mortgage or sell the property once the uplift in value has been achieved.
If you are completing structural works or planning a change of use, see the official Gov.uk planning permission guidance for clarity on when permission is required.
Real Life Example
A property investor in Bristol sourced a vacant office building suitable for conversion into five residential units. The seller insisted on a very quick completion, ruling out traditional finance. The investor wanted to preserve cash for construction, so an 80% net LTV bridging loan was the only viable route.
GPS Financial arranged the loan within nine days, providing enough leverage for the purchase while leaving the investor’s own funds free for the initial build schedule. Once the conversion reached mortgageable condition, the client refinanced onto a specialist Buy to Let product and exited the bridge smoothly.
Why Developers and Investors Choose 80% Net LTV
- Lower cash input at the start of the project
• Ideal for investors juggling multiple refurbishments or conversions
• Faster to arrange than traditional development finance
• Suitable for heavy works that require upfront expenditure
• Provides tactical leverage in competitive markets
