Fire-Damaged Property Finance in the UK
When a property suffers fire damage, restoring it demands capital—fast. Delays mean lost rent, lost value, and rising contractor costs. At Pearl Lemon Capital we assist UK landlords, developers, and investors in obtaining structured funding for rebuilding and refinancing damaged assets.
Our Services
We provide access to a network of lenders specialising in complex UK property scenarios. Each service is designed to address a specific barrier faced after a fire incident—valuation, insurance shortfall, or construction cash flow.
Funding options at a glance
Open any option below for how the facility works, who it suits and the terms lenders typically consider.
After a fire, cash flow pressure is immediate. Bridging finance gives you short-term capital secured against the property’s current value.
Problem: Traditional banks rarely lend until reinstatement is complete.
Solution: We structure bridging loans within days, using an adjusted valuation report and an insurance claim schedule as collateral support.
Outcome: Funds released typically within 7-10 working days, enabling immediate site clearance and contractor mobilisation.
Our lenders cover up to 70% of current open-market value, with interest rolled into the term to preserve liquidity.
