As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions—and Greg was absolutely brilliant at answering every single one with patience and clarity. He was always super responsive and made the whole mortgage process feel much less overwhelming. Charley was also fantastic, helping me sort out buildings insurance quickly and efficiently while walking me through all the details. Danni took the time to explain all the insurance options thoroughly and in a way that made sense. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

We were recommended Frog Financial by some friends who had recently bought their first house, and we couldn't be happier! Greg was amazing from start to finish, keeping us informed throughout the process and always on hand to answer any questions we had. Charley also helped us find the right Buildings & Contents insurance for us, and had everything sorted & ready for exchange. We'll definitely be recommending the Frog team to any friends buying their first place!

Frog were incredibly helpful when I approached them for a mortgage recommendation. Craig really took the time to understand what I needed and was very supportive throughout the process. Mortgages and the jargon around them can seem very overwhelming, especially to a first time buyer, but Frog made it a lot less stressful. Would definitely recommend!

I can’t recommend Charley highly enough! From the very start, she made the process of getting my building and contents insurance seamless. She provided me with a list of options, sent detailed and informative emails, and was incredibly flexible, kind, and patient throughout.The whole experience has been fantastic, professional, efficient, and stress-free. The member portal is another great addition, making everything even more accessible and straightforward.I was so impressed that I even told my solicitor to recommend Charley to her clients. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, Charley is the one to trust. 100% recommend!

I went to Frog for mortgage advise on buying a second property. Initially Greg provided me with various options available to me and spent the time explaining the pros and cons of each. This made choosing the right option very easy, feeling confident with my choice. Likewise, Charley was a great help with finding me the right insurance for my new property and landlords insurance.

I couldn’t recommend Frog Management more. Greg made the mortgage application process really easy for my boyfriend and I who were first time buyers. I’d first been in touch with Greg a year prior when we started our property search and once our offer was accepted I got straight back in contact with Greg who was prompt to get everything moving for us. I would highly recommend Frog Management!

The whole team at Frog were outstanding for us. Greg was our contact for our Mortgage application and he couldn't have been more helpful. He was always available and happy to help with anything, very knowledgeable and we really felt like he wanted the best for us. Charley and Danni also assisted us with insurance cover and they were very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to understanding the policies. They regularly checked in to see if they could help with the whole process, which was greatly appreciated. All the team made the house moving process that bit less stressful and are thoroughly recommended.

If you're looking for mortgage, insurance or any other financial protection advice, you really couldn't do any better than Greg, Charley and the rest of the Frog team. Since putting our house on the market, Greg was very quick to respond and generous with his time - always explaining things clearly and what our options were. With Frog's support, we had trust that we were making the right choices for our family.

I first contacted Frog several years ago and they are now my "go to" company for all financial matters and advice. I have always found them friendly, efficient and easy to deal with, and I applaud their ability to convert "financial jargon" into everyday understandable language.I also especially appreciate that they will contact and remind me when I need to review some aspect of my finances. I can without hesitation fully recommend Frog and all their team members

I was directed to Frog Financial in September 2018 and received excellent financial advice and general guidance. Since then I have requested them to investigate house insurance for me and have always signed up to the suggested policies.I would have no hesitation in suggesting they are approached by my friends to discuss their requirements.

Bridging finance is a short-term loan secured against any type of property or land on an interest-only basis. The term of a Bridging Loan is from as little as one month through to a maximum of 18 months. Bridging finance is available to an individual or a limited company.
Interest and the lenders arrangement fees are typically rolled into the capital advance, therefore there are no monthly mortgage payments to be met. Consequently, Bridging finance is not underwritten on affordably, instead, lenders are looking for a clear exit strategy, which will allow the funding to be redeemed, within the short-term period of the loan.
Bridging loans are faster to arrange and much more expensive than a mortgage or other types of secured loan. You should only consider this option if you have a clear way to repay the bridging finance quickly; for example, selling a house.

Below are the main uses and advantages for of bridging finance
A typical Bridging Loan will complete, on average, in five to eight working days. Having access to finance in this timeframe can be particularly useful to property developers looking to complete on property quickly.
Bridging Loans are popular with people purchasing property at auction, as they must complete within 28 days. The ability to get Bridging quickly is a perfect solution for clients who are unable to complete using traditional finance in the stipulated timeframe.
If you want to purchase a new property, but are yet to sell your existing residence, a Bridging Loan enables you to secure the new property before you have sold. The Bridging Loan can be secured against the new property being purchased or any other properties owned by the borrower. Consequently, 100% borrowing is available if needed.
Traditional lenders, especially buy-to-let lenders, generally won’t lend against a property, if there is no kitchen or bathroom or central heating, running water, etc, (if it’s considered uninhabitable). A Bridging Lender, by contrast, will base it’s lending on the property’s value in its current condition and therefore allow ownership to make the property habitable. Once complete, the property can either be sold or a buy-to-let mortgage can be secured to redeem the Bridging Finance.
Property Investors may wish to renovate a property in a few months and subsequently sell or re-finance; this can include complex structural changes to a property or light refurbishments. Part-complete projects can also be purchased with bridging finance. In summary, a ‘bridge’ can often be the perfect vehicle for this short-term capital requirement.
Bridging against land or property in order to obtain planning and secure development funding, or sell on with the uplift in value.
Where a property has a short lease and cannot be financed conventionally, Bridging can be used to extend the lease, making the property mortgageable through more conventional sources.
