About Us
Regulated and non-regulated bridging finance made simple
Regulated and non-regulated bridging finance made simple
We have been providing first and second charge, short term loans secured on various property types located in England, Scotland and Wales since establishment in 2004.
Our group is actively involved in residential and commercial planning, development, investment and finance and gives us an in-depth understanding of the UK property market; our owner-managed structure enables us to make quick decisions.
Our professionally qualified team understands the needs of borrowers, recognises the problems of trying to fit with the prescriptive and rigid criteria of mainstream banks and builds bespoke solutions to borrowers’ requirements. If a proposal seems sensible we will generally find a way to make it work.
We pride ourselves on the number of repeat borrowers and introducers we have. We work with our clients and their advisors to achieve the desired solution in the required time frame. Our support continues throughout the life of the loan and we have consistently adapted to changing requirements of our clients.
Introducers and clients have access to the key decision makers
We are committed to ensuring that the principle of Treating Customers Fairly, is an integral part of our business culture and is adopted whether a loan is regulated or unregulated.
Interest and fees can be rolled up and paid on redemption. The loan can be repaid at any time, subject to the minimum of three month’s interest (which is charged daily thereafter) and the arrangement fee. There are no penalties or hidden fees.
When funds are required quickly, completing the transaction on schedule is of paramount importance. We will only use professional and experienced valuers and lawyers and will only instruct them once a client has accepted a facility. [Each transaction is tailored to the individual needs of the client]
We treat all prospective clients the same. We focus on the client, the purpose of the loan, the source of repayment and the quality of the professional introducer and advice provided.

Oakbridge can provide an immediate “in principle” decision for a loan within two working hours. Drawdown is reliant on the complexity of the case, the valuer providing a satisfactory report and the lawyers completing the formalities.
Oakbridge does not check a borrowers credit report at enquiry stage and so no footprint will be left on a borrowers credit file in ascertaining whether, in principle, we can lend.
