Buying before you’ve sold? A bridging loan could help.

Finding the right property before your current one sells puts you in a difficult position. But it doesn’t have to mean missing out.


A bridging loan is a short-term finance solution that covers the gap between purchasing your new property and settling the sale of your existing one, allowing you to move forward with the purchase now while your current home remains on the market.

Understanding how bridging loans work.

A bridging loan is a short-term loan that covers the gap between buying your new property and selling your existing one. During the bridging period, you generally make interest-only repayments. Once your existing property sells, the proceeds reduce or clear the bridging debt and your remaining loan converts to a standard home loan.

Closed vs open bridging loans.

A closed bridging loan is used when you have a confirmed settlement date on your existing property. An open bridging loan applies when your property hasn’t sold yet and you need coverage for the interim period, typically up to twelve months. We'll help you understand which structure suits your situation.

Assessing whether it’s right for you.

Bridging finance works well in some situations and not others. We'll look at your equity position, your ability to manage repayments on both properties during the bridging period and your realistic sales timeline before recommending anything.
