Bridging loans

A Bridging loan is a short-term secured loan, usually to solve a temporary cash shortfall when buying a property, or similar asset, or paying for a major renovation.

Bridging loan options

  1. Open Bridging Loan: If you’re buying a property and a contract for sale of your existing property has not yet been completed.
  2. Closed Bridging Loan: If you’re buying a property where the contract for sale has been completed but there is a delay between the receipt of funds and the settlement to purchase the new property.

Bridging loans can be good for:

  • Funding the purchase of one property before the sale of another
  • Allowing you to buy a property before a long-term mortgage is arranged
  • Providing temporary funding so you can buy a property in need of repair or renovation, until repairs are completed
