We’re incredibly proud to announce that Somo has been named Best Regional Bridging Lender of the Year at the 2025 Bridging & Commercial Awards.


Recognised for Putting Brokers First

This award is a huge moment for our team and a powerful endorsement of what we stand for.

The award celebrates bridging lenders who have made a significant impact in regional markets across the UK and we’re thrilled to be recognised for doing exactly that. From day one, Somo has built its reputation not just on speed and flexibility, but on strong broker relationships and commitment to making bridging, and broker's lives, easier.

“This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Somo team,” said Jade Keval, Sales Director. “We’d like to thank our brokers, introducers, clients and everyone who supports what we do. We’ll keep working hard to make bridging as easy and supportive as it should be.”


Why Make Bridging Difficult?

At Somo, we believe in doing things differently and more importantly, doing things better. That’s why our brand promise is simple: Why make bridging difficult?

Whether it’s a second charge bridging loan or our newly launched Prime product for first charge borrowing, our team is focused on making things easier for brokers. We do that through our:

  • 360View approach — We look at every deal from all angles to find a way to say yes.

  • Broker-first mentality — Everything we do is designed around making brokers lives and lending easier.

  • Regional strength — We understand that not all deals are born in London. And we’re proud to support brokers across the UK with deep local market knowledge.

Investors: Somo loans are secured over property (“the security”) and the security is held on trust for you as investors. The loans that you make are not regulated by the FCA . Your loans are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and you may not have any rights with the Financial Ombudsman Service. All your capital and uncredited interest is at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. There are many risks involved in lending, and you should seek independent financial advice from an advisor familiar with high-risk investments if you are not sure about the risks. Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment, and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Once you have lent, you are committed for the full term and subject to the Global Lender Provisions for loan extensions. Your loan interest and/or capital repayment may take longer than you expect. A capital loss is recognised after all reasonable avenues of loan recovery have been exhausted. Property values may go up or down. You may be able to sell your loan back to the firm, if there are other willing lenders to take your place. You should not rely on the ability to re-sell the loan and you may have to sell it at a discount if you need liquidity quickly. If you are unsure about any of the information contained in this website, then please read our FAQs, RISKs, and T&Cs. Tax treatment of any of the loans will depend on the individual circumstances of each lender and may be subject to change in the future. You are liable for your own tax and may wish to consult with a tax/legal adviser for specific advice. Terms apply.

Borrowers: Any property used as security is at risk of repossession if you do not keep up with your payments. Somo’s bridging loans are unregulated.
