Bridging Finance is used on occasions where you have found your next home, but haven't yet sold your own home.
A bridging lender will take a mortgage over your existing home and the new home to allow you to complete your home purchase. Once your existing home is sold, some or all of the loan clears. Any remaining loan on the new home is then converted to a normal home loan.
Bridging lenders will allow a loan term of up to 12 months for your bridging loan. Some bridging lenders will require that you make interest only repayments during the bridging period. If you have enough equity in your home, some lenders will allow you to capitalise the interest on your bridging loan (meaning the interest is added to your loan balance each month).

Thinking about building your dream home? Lenders need specific documents like building contracts, plans, and detailed finishes before approving your construction loan. Bribie Island Lending helps clients in Caboolture, North Lakes, Toowoomba, Caloundra, and surrounding areas prepare for a smooth building process.
Building variations such as flooring choices, extra power points, and kitchen finishes can increase the cost of your home construction. Bribie Island Lending helps ensure your loan covers these potential changes, allowing you to plan for variations in advance. Whether you're building in Ipswich, Logan, Redcliffe, or Caloundra, make sure you understand your full costs before committing.
Before your lender releases the final payment for your home or renovation, three steps are required. Bribie Island Lending works with your lender to ensure everything runs smoothly. Learn more about how we support you through each step of your homeownership journey.
