What is a Bridging Loan?
A bridging loan is designed to help you when you are selling your old home and buying a new one, because it is very difficult to get the timing right.
If you have to exchange on the house you are buying before you sell your own home, you may need to borrow money in order to pay money for the house you are buying that you don't actually have. You will in effect be paying two mortgages at once, so getting a loan to cover this period will be easy, as the loan companies understand this common predicament.
The bridging loan allows you to borrow over a short term which you can pay back as soon as you have sold your home. Because of the short-term nature of the loan however you should expect to pay more interest and higher fees than with a long-term loan.
You can also use a bridging loan to purchase properties at auction, fund short-term commercial or residential renovations, and to safeguard a property purchase if the mortgage is delayed.
