A bridging loan may sound complicated, but with the right product and a broker by your side, the process can be seamless and straightforward.
Here’s a simple breakdown of how a bridging loan works:
1. The bridging lender takes over your existing mortgage AND provides the finance you need to buy or build your new home. The total amount they lend you (including your existing mortgage) is called your ‘peak debt’.
2. You make interest-only repayments on the peak debt, or your lender may allow you to add the interest payments to your peak debt instead.
3. When you sell your property, the sale proceeds are deducted from your peak debt. Your bridging loan then converts to a standard home loan.
