Bridging loans

A bridging loan allows you to buy a house when you haven't yet sold your existing property. Bridging loans can also be used to cover the financial gap between the purchase and sale of other assets.

Bridging loans can help you get the house you're after and be good for:

  • buying one property before completion on the sale of another
  • funding the purchase of a property abroad or bought at auction
  • temporary funding so you can buy a property in need of repair or renovation, until repairs are completed
  • funding the urgent purchase of a property until a long-term mortgage is arranged
  • raising capital for any purpose, pending a sale of the security
