Bridging Loan

A bridging loan can be helpful if you want to buy a new home but need extra time to get your existing home ready for sale. With an equity loan, you can borrow money against your property equity to pay for your new home or cover other expenses. However, it can be challenging to decide where to apply for a bridge loan as there are many lenders in Australia to choose from.

Choose Funding — Australia’s leading mortgage marketplace. We offer reliable short-term property loans to help bridge the gap in your financial situation, whether you are looking to move into a bigger home or settle into a more manageable home. We are reinventing property finance and investing with our cutting-edge technology to deliver a fast and simple user experience every time. 

There are plenty of considerations when it comes to a bridging loan, so before you get bridging finance, here are some things you should know. 

 

Are bridging loans expensive?

A bridging loan is a type of short-term property finance, and bridging finance rates may differ from lender to lender. Many factors come into play in the cost of bridge financing, such as your property equity, interest rate, loan term, lender’s conditions, and other applicable fees. Bridging loans are more expensive than long term 30 year home loans however they are only a short term solution. 

At Funding, your bridge loan rates and fees are tailored to your specific loan situations. You can get an obligation-free conditional approval – which you can acquire within the same day – for an outline of your custom rates and fees. Depending on the location and type of security property, you may borrow up to 65 to 70% of your property value. Loan terms at Funding may range from one to thirty-six months. 

 

Can retirees, business owners or low doc applicants apply for a bridging loan?

It is possible for Australians who are retired, own their own business or need a low doc solution to get a bridging loan. The primary requirement for a home equity loan is for a borrower to have some equity over their property and have a firm exit strategy ie sale of their existing property. If you are retired and own property with equity in Australia and are looking for a financial bridge, then you may qualify for a residential bridge loan. 

Whether you’re an individual, broker or business owner Funding can assist with a financial bridge loan. You need to have sound real estate security located in the country and be able to prove your ability to meet repayment of the loan at expiration of the end of the loan term. Residential, commercial and vacant land are properties that Funding accepts as security for your home or commercial property loan

 

What documents are needed when applying for a bridge loan?

When deciding where to get a bridge loan, you should also consider the requirements that you may be required to supply so you can prepare in advance. Since a bridging loan is borrowed against your property equity, you will have to provide documents showing your ownership of the property, details of the property you wish to buy and loan statements for any existing debt on the property. 

You should also provide personal documents that confirm your identity, such as government-issued IDs. Some home bridging loan lenders will also require documents showing your ability to repay the loan, such as details on the property you are selling or evidence of your ability to refinance via your sources of income or cash flow.
