How this is calculated

Most bridging facilities retain the interest for the term upfront rather than collecting monthly payments, so the "net day-one advance" is the loan amount minus the arrangement fee and retained interest — the actual cash you receive on completion.

Is interest paid monthly or retained?

Convention varies by lender — many bridging facilities retain (deduct) the interest for the full term on day one rather than collecting monthly payments, which is what "net day-one advance" reflects here.

What's a typical bridging rate?

Rates on the panel start from around 0.55% per month, varying by leverage, asset and exit strength — see our bridging finance product page for current typical terms.
