How to read it

What the numbers mean

Net day-one advance is the cash that actually reaches your solicitor. With retained interest it is materially lower than the gross loan, which is the single most common surprise on a first bridging deal.

Rolled interest compounds. Over 12 months at 0.85% pcm, rolled interest costs roughly 10.7% of the loan against 10.2% simple — small on a short term, meaningful on 18 months at a higher rate.

Cost per £100k borrowed is the only fair way to compare two quotes with different fee structures. Compare that figure, not the headline monthly rate.
