Lockwell Finance · UK Property Finance Broker
UK property finance for investors, landlords and developers.
Tell us the property, the amount required, your borrower structure and the completion deadline. We help you understand the realistic mortgage or property finance routes for the deal in front of you.
Property finance broker
Start with the property deal, not a product name.
A property finance broker helps you assess which lending route fits the transaction, the borrower structure and the required timeline before you commit to an application.
Lockwell Finance supports landlords, property investors, developers and international buyers across Buy-to-Let mortgages, bridging, refurbishment finance, developer exit and international mortgage cases.
The first conversation focuses on the fundamentals: the property, the amount required, how you intend to borrow, what the property will be used for and when the finance needs to complete. From there, the team can explain the likely documentation, application stages and relevant routes.

Frequently asked questions
Questions to answer before you apply.
Product requirements and completion times vary according to the lender, property and borrower profile.
View all FAQsWhat types of property finance do you arrange?
We support Buy-to-Let mortgages, bridging loans, refurbishment bridging, developer exit loans, foreign national UK mortgages, and overseas mortgage solutions.
How quickly can bridging finance complete?
Timeframes vary by case, but bridging is designed for speed. Once the documents and valuation requirements are in place, completion can be significantly faster than a standard mortgage.
Do you work with first-time landlords?
Yes. We can guide first-time landlords through eligibility, affordability checks, and the documents lenders typically require.
Can you help if I am buying through an SPV limited company?
Yes—SPV structures are common for property investors and landlords. We can advise on the typical lender requirements and application steps.
What documents will I usually need?
Common documents include ID, proof of address, bank statements, proof of income or accounts, and property details. Requirements differ depending on the product and borrower profile.
Do you offer foreign national UK mortgages?
Yes. We support non-UK nationals purchasing or refinancing in the UK, including guidance on the documentation lenders may request.
What is the difference between a mortgage and a bridging loan?
A mortgage is usually longer-term finance, while bridging is short-term funding often used for speed, auctions, chain breaks, or properties needing work before a mortgage is suitable.
What is a refurbishment bridging loan?
It is short-term finance designed to fund both the purchase or refinance and planned works, commonly used to improve a property before moving to longer-term lending.
What is a developer exit loan?
It is finance used near the end of a development—often to refinance existing funding, support sales timelines, or transition to longer-term arrangements.
How do I get started with an enquiry?
Share the property details, the amount required, your timeline, and your borrower structure, whether personal or company. We will confirm the next steps and the most suitable route.
