Short-term finance can be an effective solution for borrowers facing time-sensitive transactions.
The Everything you need to know about bridging finance guide is designed to help advisers understand how the lending can work in a range of scenarios.
Precise said the guide comes as many clients require funding solutions that fall outside mainstream lending criteria.
Brokers can use the information to understand common bridging scenarios, including purchasing a new property before selling an existing one, auction purchases, refurbishment projects, change-of-use cases and developer exits.
The guide also explains key aspects of bridging finance, including regulated and non-regulated lending, loan terms, interest options and exit strategies.

Alan Kimber, head of bridging at Precise, said: “Brokers are working with a growing range of client circumstances, many of which require a flexible and pragmatic approach to funding.
“Whether a client is looking to secure a property quickly, bridge a gap between transactions or unlock value from an existing asset, having access to the right specialist finance solution can make all the difference.
“Bridging finance has become an established part of the property finance market because it gives brokers the flexibility to support clients whose needs may not fit traditional lending criteria.
“We created this resource to help brokers understand where bridging could be an appropriate solution and give them the confidence to have more informed conversations with their clients.”
Recent data from the Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA) showed applications in Q1 2026 fell to £9.9bn from £11.7bn in Q4 2025, while completions reduced from £2.5bn to £1.8bn over the same period.
