Buy Your Next Home Before You’ve Sold This One.

Bridging finance gives you the freedom to secure your next property without the stress of matching settlement dates. Short-term, purpose-built, and managed by your adviser from start to finish.

What Is Bridging Finance?

Bridging finance is a short-term home loan designed to cover the gap between buying your next property and selling your current one. Instead of relying on matching settlement dates — or being forced to sell before you can buy — a bridging loan gives you the time and flexibility to move at your own pace.

This means you can be fully settled into your new home before your existing property is even listed. No rental limbo, no storage costs, no pressure to accept a low offer just to meet a deadline.

How Does It Work?

There are two types of bridging finance:

Closed bridging: Both your purchase and sale are unconditional. The bridging loan simply covers the gap between the two settlement dates. This is lower risk and typically comes with better terms.

Open bridging: You want to buy your next property but haven’t sold your current one yet. This carries more risk for the lender, so terms vary — but it’s absolutely achievable with the right structure.

In both cases, the bridging loan is repaid when your existing property sells. The lender will assess your ability to service both your existing mortgage and the bridging loan simultaneously, so affordability is a key factor.
