When the right property comes up before your current one has sold, a bridging loan keeps you in the running. We help South Australian homeowners cover the gap without a rushed sale.
Getting a sale and a purchase to settle on the same day is easier said than done. Bridging finance is short-term lending that lets you buy your next South Australian home before the current one settles.
The lender rolls your existing loan and the new purchase into a single balance, often called peak debt. When your old home sells, the proceeds reduce it to your end debt, which becomes your ongoing loan.
It tends to suit buyers who have found the one and do not want to lose it, or who would simply rather move once. There are costs and timing risks involved, so it is not the right answer for everyone.
We model the numbers for your situation and compare bridging options from over 50 lenders, so you go in knowing the costs and the timeline.
Bridging done well comes down to structure and a realistic timeline. That is our job.
Secure the home you want now and sell your current place when the timing and the price are right.
We structure your peak and end debt so the loan works while you hold both homes, then settles cleanly.
Bridging policy differs a lot between lenders. We compare over 50 to match your timing and budget.
In a steady market like South Australia, the home you want can come up before yours has sold. Our brokers help buyers across Adelaide and the surrounding regions act quickly without overstretching.
We handle the structure, coordinate the settlements, and deal with the lender on your behalf from application right through to the day you settle.
Whether you are upsizing in Burnside, downsizing towards the coast, or moving across the state, let's plan the move together.
It is short-term finance that lets you buy a new home before your current one has sold. The lender funds both for a set period, then your sale proceeds pay the balance down to your ongoing loan. We will explain how it applies to your own situation.
Bridging terms usually run around six to twelve months, which is your window to sell the existing property. The right length depends on your market and plans, and we help you set one that is realistic with a sensible buffer.
It depends on the lender and how the loan is set up. Some capitalise the interest until your home sells, others ask for repayments along the way. We compare both so you understand the cash flow before committing.
A longer sale adds to your interest cost, which is why we plan for it upfront with a realistic timeline and buffer. If the market shifts, we work with you and the lender on the next step. Planning for it is part of doing bridging properly.
We work with over 50 lenders, and their bridging rules vary widely. That range lets us match you with one whose terms suit your timing and budget, and we liaise with them on your behalf throughout.
