Bridge Help

About Bridge Help

Bridge Help was established in late 2018 by Chesterfield solicitor Chris Sellars, who identified a clear gap in the market for fast, flexible short-term lending in situations where high street banks simply won't engage. The Chesterfield base — on Old Brick Works Lane, just off Sheffield Road — gives the business a central northern location well positioned to serve a national client base, and the legal background of the founder brings an unusual level of technical depth to the team's approach to complex cases.

The lender has built a reputation for taking on deals where the combination of property type, borrower circumstances, or deal structure puts it beyond conventional lenders. Commercial, semi-commercial and buy-to-let properties in England and Wales form the core of their book, and they are set up to move quickly where urgency is required.

Bridging Loans from Bridge Help

Bridge Help offers loans from £100,000 to £3 million, with LTVs up to 75% on eligible property. The lender does not publish a fixed rate table — terms are set case by case reflecting the property, the borrower and the exit strategy. For the most current rates and criteria, the team recommend making direct contact to discuss your specific situation.

How to Apply with Bridge Help

Initial conversations typically establish whether the deal is workable before any formal process begins.
