Who we are...

We are Black & White Bridging, the architects of truly transparent lending with no grey areas…

From a small team based in Bath to a national lender, we are here to make the lending market Black & White. Putting the power back into the hands of intermediaries with a crystal clear deal process, and simply focusing on great customer service to build long-term partnerships.  

TRULY TRANSPARENT​

Dedicated lending managers, with total deal transparency.​

Black & White Bridging means exactly what it says. The deals are what they seem, with lending managers always available to make sure you are always crystal clear on how your deal is progressing.

With No Grey Areas

No hurdles, no hidden surprises. Simple effective lending.

How many times have you seen an advertised rate that’s near impossible to actually achieve, or been stung with unexpected changes as a deal progresses? No grey areas means no hidden surprises.
