No, money you lend to Bricks Finance is not covered by the FSCS.

Because the security documents create security over property or assets, if there were to be a dramatic downturn in the UK property market, or other markets, this could affect borrowers’ ability to repay the amounts due to Bricks Finance. However, even if the value of the security falls the borrower could continue to pay the interest and the principal as it falls due. We pass the Bank of England stress test of a 31% fall in UK residential property values.

Contact us and we will tell you if you qualify for a Bricks Finance bridging loan.

Bricks Finance enables you to make fixed-rate loans indirectly to a borrower either secured by assets or, in the case of probate loans, with a very strong covenant. Your loan will be made under an individual loan instrument directly between you and Bricks Finance. Loan instruments may have different maturities and interest rates but all rank equally including the directors, founders and their families own lending to Bricks Finance.

Following a minimum term of 12 months, we have options for 6, 9, or 12 months’ notice.

Bricks Finance does not give financial advice or recommendation. It is up to you to seek advice from an authorised person who specialises in advising on non-readily realisable securities. Your capital is at risk and is not protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

The legal documentation is undertaken by carefully chosen Legal Firms such as Trowers & Hamlins LLP, Ashfords LLP or Michelmores LLP to ensure the Company has the highest standard of legal protection and security. We make certain identity, fraud and credit checks, in addition to the checks on valuation and certificate of title. Being regulated, we follow Financial Conduct Authority guidelines and meet all of our borrowers. Once the loan is in place, the Company collects all the interest and principal repayments from the borrower.

Bricks Finance only offers unregulated loans.

Every Bricks Finance borrower and lender signs an agreement with a fixed interest rate and consequently we are independent of UK interest rate changes.

Although we are under no obligation to repay loans early except as specified in each loan document, we will consider the circumstances and, if cash reserves permit, repay early if there is a compelling need.

Bricks Finance provides regulated and unregulated bridging loans to individuals, trusts and businesses.

We use our own family money plus funds from a small group of investors. We do not rely on institutional funding and can therefore make quick decisions on new loans.

The main risk is that we are unable to continue to make the interest payments when they fall due or to repay the loan principal amount when it falls due. In order to minimise that risk: (i) We meet and check the creditworthiness of every borrower; (ii) Certain security documents are entered into between Bricks Finance and the borrower (apart from probate loans) to secure the total amount repayable under the loan contracts against a property or other assets owned by the borrower; and (iii) We request certain due diligence material, check valuations, and a certificate of title, or we take secure possession. These steps help to reduce the risk of Bricks Finance losing its capital but does not completely eliminate the risk.

Between £50,000 and £3,000,000.

We recognise that in the real world, projects can take longer than anticipated. We are under no obligation to extend our loans but where the fundamental basis of the loan is still sound, we do offer loan extensions.

Following a minimum term of 12 months, we have options for 6, 9, or 12 months’ notice.
