Bridging Loan vs Mortgage

Hello
My partner and I are looking to purchase another property. We have joint assets of £1,000,000, but have yet to sell. We wish to secure a new property (£680,000 ) and wish to borrow £200,000 (have remaining money in savings). Can you please advise best way forward - bridging loan or mortage, and the approx fees over 6-12 month period.
Thank you

Speak to an independent mortgage broker and find out
* interest rate you can get
* whether tied in for a period - how long?
* early redemption fees
* other set-up or redemption fees
Then look around at availble loans and similar.
Without knowing your circumstances no one can answer you question. You'll have to do the maths!

Bridging loans tend to be much more expensive. If you can get a mortgage, then do so.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?2
