Brickflow, the UK’s leading digital marketplace for specialist property finance, has added Somo, the award-winning specialist bridging and short-term finance lender, to its panel of over 160 lenders, giving brokers another specialist option to compare and place cases in one place.


Brokers using Brickflow can now access Somo’s bridging loans alongside the rest of the panel, compare terms side by side and submit cases through a single platform, without sourcing each loan manually. Somo assesses every case on its individual merits, giving brokers a route to funding for clients with complex or non-standard circumstances.


What the Brickflow and Somo partnership delivers:

•    Loans from £27,500 to £3 million, with terms from one month to three years.

•    Lending up to 75% LTV.

•    Somo’s products compared against the wider lender panel, with cases submitted through the same platform.


Every lender added to the panel widens the choice available to brokers and helps them find a suitable option faster for clients working to tight timelines. Somo’s addition deepens the bridging and short-term options available on the platform.


Glenn Franklin-Jones, Director of Lender Relations at Brickflow, commented:

“Every broker has a client whose case doesn’t fit neatly into a box, and the quicker they can find a lender willing to look at it properly, the better. Somo has built its reputation on doing exactly that in bridging, so adding them to the panel gives our brokers more choice and a faster route to an answer, all in one place.”

Victoria Barnard, Head of Networks at Somo, added:

“Brokers want to find the right lender quickly, and Brickflow gives them a clear, efficient way to do that. Joining the platform puts Somo’s products in front of brokers at the point they’re sourcing, so they can see what we offer and move cases forward with confidence. It’s a natural fit with how we already work: close to the broker, and focused on getting deals done."

Somo’s products are now live on Brickflow and available to all Brickflow brokers.

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. If you are unsure about any aspect of the information provided by the company, you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser familiar with bridging loans. Terms apply.
