TAB Refurbishment is an advanced refurbishment bridging loan finance solution that allows borrowers to access the capital they need for their refurbishment projects quickly and without the cost of a full development loan.

TAB Refurbishment has grown from the demand we have seen for this type of product and has been designed with our clients in mind. TAB lends directly to borrowers or through the introduction of intermediaries and for refurbishment projects with a day one LTV of up to 70% and an LTGDV of up to 65%. TAB Refurbishment loans start from £100,000 and go up to £1m for a maximum of 24 months. There are no exit fees and we do not lend against your principal residence.
