Understanding the figures
Bridging quotes can look very different depending on whether you're looking at the gross loan, net advance or total facility including retained interest and fees.
Net Loan
The amount actually available for the transaction after any interest and fees retained within the facility.
Gross Loan
The total facility including the net advance, retained interest and any fees added to the borrowing.
Gross LTV
The gross facility expressed as a percentage of the property's value or purchase price.
Retained Interest
Interest deducted or added to the facility at the outset rather than paid monthly by the borrower.
Retained or serviced interest?
Bridging interest doesn't always have to be handled in the same way for the whole term.
Fully Retained
Interest for the agreed period is included within the gross facility, so there are normally no monthly interest payments during that period.
Fully Serviced
Interest is paid monthly, which generally reduces the difference between the gross and net loan.
Part Retained
Interest can sometimes be retained for part of the term and then serviced monthly thereafter.

This calculator is designed to help illustrate how bridging loan figures interact. Actual lender calculations, interest methodology, fees, valuations, maximum LTVs and lending criteria can vary between providers.
