BloomSmith partners with Brickflow to deliver VAT bridging loans for commercial property purchases

BloomSmith has announced a new partnership with Brickflow, the UK’s first digital marketplace for specialist property finance.

This collaboration introduces VAT bridging finance to the Brickflow platform, giving borrowers a fast, cost-effective way to manage VAT payments on commercial property transactions.

Ian Humphreys, CEO and founder of Brickflow, commented: “The addition of BloomSmith to the Brickflow platform is an exciting development as we look towards a strong second half of 2025.

“We are dedicated to delivering holistic financing solutions to our clients, and expanding into bespoke VAT funding highlights the scope of the borrowing options we provide.”

Nigel Smith, CEO of BloomSmith, added: “Joining the Brickflow platform is central to our goal of supercharging BloomSmith’s future lending opportunities.

“As the UK’s largest commercial property finance marketplace, this partnership opens the door to numerous prospective borrowers who can benefit from VAT funding but may otherwise have been unaware of our provision.”

If a property is elected for VAT, securing a VAT bridging loan can help buyers manage short-term cash flow without tying up equity or renegotiating with senior lenders.

BloomSmith can fund VAT within 48 hours of legals connecting and handles the VAT return process for borrowers.
