Introduction to bridging

What is a bridging loan?

What are Bridging loans?

Bridging loans are short-term loans designed to bridge the gap between selling your current property and buying a new one. They provide immediate cash flow for buyers who would otherwise have to wait for their current home to sell.

How do Bridging Loans work?

With a bridging loan, you can purchase your new home before you’ve sold your existing property. The loan is secured against your existing property, and when you sell it, the proceeds are used to pay off the bridging loan.

Why Choose a Bridging Loan?

With a bridging loan, you can purchase your new home before you’ve sold your existing property. The loan is secured against your existing property, and when you sell it, the proceeds are used to pay off the bridging loan.

Common Uses of Bridging Loans.

Bridging loans are frequently used to fund property purchases at auctions, renovation projects, or real estate development opportunities. They can also be used in any situation where you need short-term financing related to real estate.

Realy important information

Things to consider

  • Not everybody is eligible for a bridging loan, so before you commit make sure you speak with us or your Well Certified Partner;
  • To be eligible you must be sure you can make repayments on both your existing loan and the bridging loan;
  • ^You aren’t required to make payments on the bridging loan within the bridging period. This interest capitalised up to 6 months and added to the loan balance, which means you will pay interest on this interest;
  • If you chose to make extra repayments during the bridging period, there is no access to a redraw facility and you will not be able to access those funds later;
  • It is important you understand the market and are confident that you can sell your home and pay down the bridging loan within your agreed term of up to 6 months. If you don’t sell your home, when the bridging period ends you will be required to make repayments on both the existing home loan and new home loan;
  • You may need to hold savings to ensure you can cover all repayments during the bridging period;
  • If you’re approved for a bridging loan, during the term you may need to manage multiple repayments during the bridging period;
  • You may sell your current property for less than you expected, which will leave you with a higher loan balance than anticipated.

FAQ's about Bridging loans

Got questions?  Here’s the answers to the most common questions we get.

You have a period of 6 months in order to sell your current property.  You will need to have an unconditional contract of sale for the sale of your property.

If the existing home has not been sold once the Bridging Finance period ends, repayments will be required on the new home loan in addition to repayments on the existing home loan.

Every loan is different!  You will need to make repayments on a Principal and Interest basis, though the interest may be capitalised, i.e. added to the loan amount you will owe at the end of the bridging period once your property is sold.  While you can make additional repayments during the bridging period, be aware that there is no redraw facility.  You can also use an offset facility to minimise the amount of interest you are charged.

Unlock more than just savings

We’re not like other online lenders. We’re a non-bank lender that just happens to live online.

That that means some good old fashioned customer service is at the heart of what we do.

Real people, real savings.

What about fees?

Fees should be transparent as we don’t like bill shock either!

Unlike other lenders, we don’t like to hide our fees in our rates. That’s just one of the many reasons why our home loan rates are some of the lowest in the market. We could just bump our rates up a little and say “no fees!” – but that’s just not us.

NOTE: Always get a copy of a lenders Key Fact Sheet.  It will show you the total repayments per year including fees so you can compare how much you’ll pay on your home loan.
