What Our Clients Say
Our chain collapsed weeks before exchange and the seller was about to relist. Doulton arranged the bridge in eight working days so we could complete unconditionally. Our existing home then sold at the price we wanted, not under pressure.
Our bank needed three months to approve a commercial mortgage and the vendor wanted completion in four. Doulton bridged the purchase in 22 days and we redeemed to the bank facility cleanly. We now own the freehold and the £180k annual lease liability is gone.
My moving date was fixed in my relocation package and my London home wasn't even listed. Doulton turned the bridge around in six working days and co-ordinated with Scottish solicitors to hit the date. The London sale completed inside ten weeks.
Frequently asked questions
What does Doulton Bridging Finance do?
Doulton is an independent UK finance introduction service. We introduce clients seeking bridging loans, development finance, residential and commercial mortgages, business finance, specialist asset finance and expat mortgages to specialist brokers and lenders suited to their situation. Our specialists have access to a wide panel of 130+ lenders. We cover cases from £50k to £300m+ across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
How quickly can finance be arranged?
Once we introduce you, the specialist will typically come back with indicative quotes within hours. Indicative quotes typically come back within hours. Straightforward bridging loans can complete in 5-10 working days; auction finance can move faster where the pack is clean. Mortgage and development applications run on a more typical 2-8 week timeline depending on complexity, valuation and legal work.
Which lenders do you work with?
The specialists we introduce you to have access to over 130 lenders including high-street banks, specialist bridging and development funders, challenger and private banks, and alternative business finance providers. That breadth means complex, urgent and large cases can often be placed where a single-lender approach cannot.
How much does it cost to use Doulton?
Our introduction service is free to use. Any broker fees are set and disclosed upfront by the specialist we introduce you to, and vary by product and complexity. On large bridging and development deals fees are often paid from the lender's arrangement fee rather than by you directly. No upfront fees are charged on loans exceeding £1m.
Can you help if my case has been declined elsewhere?
Often yes. A declined mainstream application usually means you were placed with the wrong lender, not that the deal can't be funded. Specialist, private and challenger lenders all have criteria mainstream banks won't see. Tell us what happened and we will introduce you to a specialist who can look at your case across a wide panel of lenders.
Do you work with expats and overseas borrowers?
Yes. We introduce clients to specialists covering UK mortgages for expats based in Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, the USA and dozens of other jurisdictions, plus UK bridging and development finance for overseas investors. Most applications can be completed without returning to the UK.
