A Big Tax Bill, a Decline, and a Bridge Completed in Record Time
HMRC wants paying now, and the first lender has said no. What next?
How we got it done.
What they wanted
To clear a large tax bill quickly, without selling assets in a hurry.
Why it was complex
Time pressure, and the first lender declined.
How we structured it
We went straight to a second lender that used an automated valuation (no physical survey to wait for) and moved at speed.
The outcome
We completed in record time and the tax bill was settled.

“When there's a deadline you can't move, you need a lender who can. Knowing who'll use an automated valuation saved weeks.”Josh Halsey, Founder and Director
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
Bridging is short-term, higher-cost borrowing. You need a clear exit, and your property may be repossessed if the loan isn't repaid at the end of the term.
