Beaufort Bridging
A bridging lender launched in 2025 by Beaufort Capital, writing £3m to £75m at a published 0.8 to 1.0 per cent a month across England, Scotland and Wales.
What they do
Beaufort Bridging is the short-term lending arm of Beaufort Capital, which already runs a UK developer debt fund, and lends from balance sheet and fund capital with assured funding lines behind it. Pricing is published rather than quoted: 0.8 to one per cent a month with an arrangement fee of 0.7 to two per cent, interest retained or serviced, terms of six to thirty-six months and leverage up to 70 per cent. An expression of interest comes within 24 hours, and development exits can be passed to the affiliated development lending business.
Where they fit in a lower-mid-market raise
Published pricing at the larger end of bridging is unusual and useful: a borrower can model the cost before making an approach. The link to a development debt fund means a bridge and the development facility that follows it can come from the same house, which reduces the refinancing risk that usually sits at the end of a short-dated loan.
Where they are not the fit
The brand is new, launched in mid-2025, with one publicly documented completion, so track record is thin and worth probing. Northern Ireland is outside the lending area. First-charge security over UK real estate is required, terms cap at thirty-six months, and published ticket ranges differ between sources.

What rules a deal out
Stated limits, taken from Beaufort Bridging’s own published criteria. A limit is where a lender starts from, not where it always ends: several of these move on a strong enough credit.
- Property security required (first-charge on UK real estate/land)
- England/Scotland/Wales only (no Northern Ireland)
- Term 6-36 months only
- Max loan to value up to 70%
How they sit against the category
- Its published ceiling of £75m is among the 11 highest of the 75 property-backed lenders here.
- It starts higher than all but 8 of them, at £3m.
- 65 of the 75 publish an indicative price at all; it is one of them.
