Loans that Keep You Moving
The traditional way to upgrade is to sell the old home first, move into a rental, and hope the dream home is still available months later. Bridging finance allows the purchase of a new home now before selling the old one and owners only need to move house once.
There are many advantages to using a bridging loan to upgrade but there are some risks and borrowers must have equity in the existing property to make it happen.
How does it work?
The bank will refinance the existing loan and provide the extra money needed to purchase the new home. Temporarily the borrower will own 2 houses. The keys on the new house are handed over and moving house can be made gradually.
The old home becomes empty making it easier to get ready for sale. Once ready, it is sold as a vacant possession which often sells quicker than an occupied house.
When it is sold, debt is reduced accordingly and only the one house with the one loan remains.
Who Provides Bridging Loans?
Most banks will only provide this bridging loan to existing customers. There are a very small number of lenders offering genuine bridging loan where the ability to repay is based exclusively on the end position post sale.
