A bridging loan is a short-term financing solution that allows you to purchase a new property before selling your existing one. The loan "bridges" the financial gap between transactions, typically lasting 6-18 months, giving you the flexibility to move quickly in Australia's competitive property market.
Bridging loans are ideal when you've found your dream property in Australia but haven't yet sold your current home, when you're upgrading to a more expensive property, or when you're purchasing multiple investment properties without waiting for individual sales to complete.
Borrowing capacity typically depends on the combined value of both properties, your income, existing debts, and credit history. Most lenders allow borrowing up to 80-90% of the total property value, though some specialized lenders may offer higher loan-to-value ratios.
Bridging loan interest rates are generally higher than standard home loans due to their short-term nature and higher risk profile. Rates typically range from 5-12% variable, depending on loan structure, loan-to-value ratio, and your financial position. Our brokers negotiate competitive rates across multiple lenders.
Bridging loans are short-term facilities, usually ranging from 6 to 18 months. The exact term depends on your property sale timeline and lender requirements. Extensions may be possible in certain circumstances, subject to lender approval.
Common fees include establishment fees, valuation fees, legal costs, and potentially exit fees. Some lenders may also charge ongoing service fees. We provide transparent fee breakdowns upfront so you understand all costs before proceeding.
While more challenging than standard home loans, some specialized lenders consider applicants with impaired credit histories. Our brokers assess your situation objectively and present alternative lending options that may still make bridging finance achievable.
If your property doesn't sell within the agreed timeframe, options include refinancing to a standard home loan, extending the bridging period (subject to lender approval), or selling at market value. We work proactively with clients to develop contingency plans.
Most bridging loans offer interest-only repayments during the bridging period, making them more manageable. Some lenders allow you to capitalize interest, adding it to the loan balance, though this increases overall costs.
Required documents typically include proof of income, existing property valuation, new property contract, proof of deposit, identification, and evidence of sale marketing for your existing property. Our brokers provide comprehensive checklists tailored to your situation.
