On average, the process from enquiry through to completion takes 5-7 working days. We have had cases which have been facilitated within 48 hours. Evidently, we are quick but each case is different with varying levels of complexity which has an impact on the time it takes to complete. The best way to find out how long it will take is to make an enquiry and speak directly with one of our experts.
We eliminate red tape and bureaucracy from our process because we are the decision makers for your application. It also helps that we have a dedicated, fine-tuned team of experts with years of experience.

Yes it is similar to your high street bank because you are protected in exactly the same way with a transparent loan agreement, a legal charge, and a predefined and clear legal process of recovery in the event that you are unable to repay. You can borrow with absolute confidence.
No, we are a Non Status lender. Unlike some other lenders, we do not operate on a credit -scoring basis. We take all factors into account and consider applications on individual merit. Our main focus is the security available and the exit strategy in place.
When the loan facilitation process is complete, there will be an arrangement fee to pay. Other costs are incurred from the application, legal and valuation process. The payment is handled, detailed and transferred by solicitors; Hana Capital does not take any payments. Your quoted cost will be tailored to your loan requirement; the details of this will be clearly outlined before the loan is undertaken.
Many solicitors work at a respectable pace nonetheless, it’s still too slow for bridging. We have a small number of modern, fast and proactive solicitors who we can recommend to clients. They understand short term lending and will often complete all the legal requirements within two or three days. Contact us for details.
This will be possible on the basis that the existing bridging loan facility is not in default and there is sufficient equity available to secure the additional borrowing.
Yes of course. We do not sell or pass any information to any third party companies for marketing purposes or otherwise.
A closed bridging loan is one that is taken out when there is a guaranteed exit date. An example of a guaranteed exit date would be the date of completion for a property sale having exchanged contracts. There is less risk to both the lender and the borrower, which is reflected in the charges.
An open bridging loan does not have a guaranteed exit date. An example of an open bridging loan would be when funds are to be cleared following the sale of a property, but at the time of taking out the loan there are no confirmed buyers. The lack of certainty on payment date renders this a more risky proposition for both the borrower and the lender.
Please contact us if you don’t find the answer you are looking for.
