Bridging loan

If you’d like to buy a new property before you sell your existing one, Bridging Finance could provide the funds you need to secure your new home. This loan is designed for customers who have sold their existing property (but not yet settled) and require finance for the deposit on a new property.

Advantages

Search for a new home with confidence, even if you haven’t settled on your existing property
Choose between principal and interest, or interest-only repayments
Use the proceeds from the sale of your home to reduce the balance on your bridging loan following settlement
Make unlimited lump sum payments, depending on the terms of your finance (restrictions often apply to Fixed Rate home loans).

Disadvantages

Many of these loans do not have the same features or flexibility as other variable loans
Generally dont have an offset account
The greatest risk is that your property will not sell within the bridging period which may see an increase in the interest rate charged.
Taking a secondary debt on top of an existing mortgage means that you will have an additional interest rate cost.
Occasionally you may have overestimated the likely sale price of your existing property, and therefore fall short of the amount required to pay out the bridging loan.
