With typical completion around 14 days, Octopus Real Estate is a good fit when timing is the constraint. As a non-bank specialist, Octopus Real Estate can be more flexible on criteria than a challenger bank, though usually at a higher rate.
How to access Octopus Real Estate
Most UK bridging lenders prefer broker introductions rather than direct enquiries. A broker with a current lender panel can run a case past Octopus Real Estate alongside 3–4 alternatives and come back with indicative terms quickly.
